#layoffs

Most of what India does can be replaced with AI agents.

Nike Leadership finds a way to fail and lose shareholder value everyday...

I've been doom scrolling and reading all articles on Oracle and LE - and there are MANY right now - and I'm starting to worry that we're not being told everything and when cuts start, it's going to be much worse than we expect. LE is trying to do too many things at once and we might be the ones having to pay the price of it.

I hate the fact that even a record-breaking game launch can't save us from layoffs. What does it take, then? What the fu-k does it take not to get shown the door?

Can't seem to get questions answered. Leadership doing the information trickle method, like the government does with bad news.

Will quotas be dropping since retail partnership is severing?

Right now quotas in SMB are near equal (sometimes more) than mid-market due to retail traffic.

Eliminating that and dropping the base down more than 50%, surely quotas are dropping (in a perfect world)

Mid-Market opportunities yield much larger deals, SMB opportunities yield small deals.
So more calls, more meetings, more closed deals to equal the same or similar quotas doesn't seem logical.

An old VZ coworker used to say Verizon may have logic and they have reason but never logic and reason together.

We all know that RTO was a completely political kissarse move and not a decision based on any facts but I am completely over it!
I'm in the office more days now than before COVID except now I don't even have my own assigned desk. We promote homeownership and affordability but treat employees like we are vagrants having to pack up our entire work life and take it home everyday and then hope we get a desk tomorrow. One that isn't covered in food crumbs from the person yesterday because they aren't cleaning these desks and the desk wipes are out more often than not!
Now that Trump had destroyed gas prices, between the cost of tolls, gas prices rising, the constant fear of layoffs, and hours in traffic, I'm being pushed way past my limit. I'm naturally a high performer but that's about to change. Being asked to do more work with less resources, all while being forced to come into an office just to sit on Teams Meetings all day is the d-mbest thing Pulte has done to date.
And, unfortunately, it's an employers market, so he can get away with it. #burnout #FDT

It's down to $25 usd. That's a 28.8% 6 month low.

Someone in ELT is going to push the layoff button because they don't have any other buttons.

I am "offboarding" this wonderful place in the US.

Of course, the links to the offboarding processes do not work or time out.

All I really care about is COBRA (they can take their surveys and shove them).

Has anyone that has recently ejected priced US High deductible family COBRA plans?

If so, what was the cost?

As CVX price and bbl go up with the multiple conflicts, will that save us from additional layoffs?
Or is this short term?

Will cuts begin before or after the merger is finalized?

I’ll be honest, I’m struggling with my org at Oracle right now. We’ve lost so much talent and product knowledge lately that I feel like I’m just 'running the show' rather than leading. The people who stayed are totally checked out. They do the bare minimum and won't engage unless there's a promotion or hike on the table. Had to force them pushing my leads to extract more work. I know things are broken, but I’m at a loss on how to actually fix the culture and get them motivated again. Innovation is not happening at ground level. Employees are completely dissatisfied.

The morale here has hit a new low with all the layoff rumors circulating. Initially, the team was energized by AI initiatives, but it quickly turned into internal fighting over recognition. Since those 'wins' never actually materialized, everyone has just given up. They've dropped the ball on their work because they don't see the point in competing for nothing.

With AI tools available, its just copy paste happening without a thoughtful delivery. Everyone fears on danger of providing holistic solution. Had to layoff a bunch and rehire often. Product quality going to trash. Very difficult to hire a quality candidate under specific budget, Train them and Lose them.

Don't sweat it, there is life after a layoff.

Keep a positive attitude and you will overcome this minor setback.

I’m still trying to unpack that strange farewell town hall Cordani threw for himself.

How could neither DC nor BE acknowledge the layoffs that happened less than 1 week prior to this event and that are still ongoing?

I don’t even know what I expect from this conversation. I think I just need to know that everyone else thinks it was eff’d up and awesomely tone deaf.

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.

• mar01-mar10: 395 layoffs, and 358 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• feb01-feb28: 943 layoffs, and 1143 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• jan01-jan31: 1604 layoffs, and 1834 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• dec01-dec31: 1031 layoffs, and 844 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• nov01-nov30: 1614 layoffs, and 1327 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• oct01-oct31: 2504 layoffs, 1762 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• sep02-sep30: 6275 layoffs, 861 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
• aug14-sep01: 733 layoffs (based on Slack very few data points)
• aug01-aug14: ?2900 layoffs in IDC (based on media reports)

Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.

Layoff estimates are partially part of normal attrition, but the other part of normal attrition is already hidden due to additions and removals compensate each other when they happen at the same period of time.

I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.

Are there layoff expected in Minimed to return to profitability, to boost share prices? Any thoughts

so be ready for the big layoff starting Monday 9-16-26.

Let’s avoid spreading rumors about layoffs- it can be really demotivating and stressful for everyone.

So whoever has been doing this for past few days- please stop!

There will ALWAYS be layoffs. It is the Verizon way. It's also the Verizon way to pretend they don't happen, and do them under the table. The big one on 11/20 was too big to ignore, and got national media coverage. But going forward, I suspect the layoffs will be more "traditional", where specific groups or programs are targeted to be shutdown, as opposed to another "20% across the board" type of action. The Frontier integration will no doubt result in "redundancies" being identified. Other areas that have been mentioned are parts of Enterprise, specifically overseas, so I'd expect some cuts there as well.

Bumping this up for visibility, from @ad+1kk9jn5e2

Any news? We’re all sitting here anxious as f***.

That didnt take long huh. A rather pointless exercise, with HR and the big cheeses knowing full well it was coming 6 months ago. Shame - had hoped for better. Thats the HPE way we've been hearing about and now finding out its a reality!

EH, you can't rebuild with layoffs and you flying around! I had faith in your; but you proved me wrong...

And nobody should be flippant about it. We all have very good reasons to be anxious.

Do you think they will start letting people on STD go?

Effective 4/1 , every reps account assignments will be slimmed down to 20-40 accounts in total. The remainder will be moved to inside sales. Expect more layoffs, compensation will be moved to net new client acquisition (make the same but you have to convince new businesses to work with this horrendous business - in other words , make a lot less). Good luck everyone. I feel sorry for all the great customers that will no longer have the coverage they need to support them. This is embarrassing.

I saw the F-150 Guy very nervous this morning.

So the F-150 Guy said that after the performance reviews are done, the gigantic LYOFz will occur.

Good luck.

Omnicom PR agencies and leadership moved to a new New York office. This relocation follows Omnicom's acquisition of Interpublic Group.
