#layoffs

No idea how many.

I wouldn’t mind being on that list tomorrow.
I don’t like anything about this company. I’ve
seen my team(s) slowly fire onshore only
and slowly hire offshore only. Probably
speaking from a place of privilege, but not
having any more sleepless nights filled with
anxiety would be nice. At least until the next
j*b, that is.

and so it begins again

Spotted: a once-mighty corporate empire teetering on the edge of its own contradictions. After sweeping layoffs, the remaining employees are left juggling heavier workloads, thinner resources, and a shiny new “way of working” that—surprise—just isn’t working. The halls whisper of burnout, while inboxes scream urgency, and morale quietly slips through the cracks. Efficiency? Innovation? Collaboration? Please. When survival mode becomes the daily dress code, even the most loyal insiders start wondering if leadership is actually watching… or just missing the point entirely.

And now comes the latest twist: employee tracking. Yes, tracking. As if productivity can be measured by the minute hand of a clock and not the brilliance of a mind. Word on the floor is that time spent in the office will soon be monitored like wildlife in a nature documentary, proving once and for all that leadership’s priorities are spectacularly backwards. Because nothing says “we trust you” like surveillance, right? If they truly believe that counting hours instead of cultivating culture will spark performance, then someone clearly skipped the memo on modern work.

Guys, I got laid off in September, do you have the APB numbers?

Has anyone heard new about layoffs in emerging markets such project Kuiper / Amazon music group (DISCO)?

Kel B just sent out a message saying that we will achieve client success by using AI. People are getting fired left and right, morale is terrible, FT call center is getting closed and all they can say is AI. This is beyond stupid. She schedules her meetings almost every month and it's all about AI, that's the best you can do??

Just seems to me like they would first target onshore contractors and then usually offshore contractors, and then onshore FTEs? If anyone has more data about who they're targeting, would greatly appreciate it

The future lay off were announced yesterday for the West.

A word of support for anyone navigating the uncertainty right now.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly on edge, please know this reaction is human. Living with ongoing uncertainty—wondering whether layoffs will happen tomorrow, next month, or not at all—can take a real physical and emotional toll. The tight chest, the heavy feeling in your gut, the emotional rollercoaster… none of that means you’re weak. It means you’re under sustained stress.

One thing that may help is gently shifting how you respond to this uncertainty. While we can’t control decisions that may come from above, we can control how we prepare and protect ourselves. This moment may call for acceptance of a difficult reality—and a thoughtful action plan.

It might be worth asking yourself:
• Is the severance or outcome worth the level of stress I’m carrying right now?
• Am I able to function physically and emotionally under these conditions?
• What boundaries do I need to set to preserve my mental health?
• Where can I redirect my energy toward things I do control?

Focus on what’s within your reach: updating your resume, strengthening your finances, networking, refreshing LinkedIn, and keeping your options open. Preparation isn’t pessimism—it’s self-respect.

Most importantly, don’t beat yourself up over a situation that is inherently unfair, poorly timed, and driven by forces outside your control. This isn’t a reflection of your worth, your work ethic, or your value as a professional.

Take care of yourself. Support each other. And remember—you’re allowed to prioritize your well-being while still being professional.

According to the notice, Inari Agriculture will conduct a mass layoff affecting 64 employees at the West Lafayette location. The layoff process is expected to begin on January 20, 2026, with separations continuing through February 6, 2026. The company indicated that the layoffs are expected to be permanent.

I kinda want to volunteer but talking to my boss about it feels like a gamble. Could it backfire and make my remaining time here worse?

Most of these were wrongful terminations, so where are all the lawsuits? What are people scared of?

Can somebody explain that to me please?

Los Angeles school officials warned this week of impending staff reductions — including likely layoffs — as they grapple with steadily falling enrollment and a three-year budget projection that ends with a deficit.

Shopify has laid off a number of staff from its partnerships division as part of an overhaul to how it works with external partners, sources have told The Logic.

Lots of post about not knowing the total layoff numbers for 2026. A few things:

• There is no final number YET. Layoffs are still happening at least through the end of this month. Maybe into February.

• Those impacted are technically are garden leave until April 2nd and are still on the payroll.

• April 2nd, is when the RIF numbers will be in warn and when the media will start to report on it. That’s when you will get the final number of people let go.

No conspiracy or withholding information. That’s how the process works.

10k RIF is the rumor, we will see if it’s true.

G confirmed at the town hall that big RIF is weeks away. He called out management and underperformers but said cuts will come from everywhere. He also said there will more in the future but not every third thursday like employees have been used to.

I wish it was already Friday and this was over. Even if I'm on the list. I don't think I'll be able to get any sleep tonight.

As Athens County Jobs and Family Services prepares to eliminate five positions amid a fiscal crisis, one employee is sounding the alarm over impacts the cuts might have.

We're still just guessing how many were affected? I don't understand why there isn't any official word on this.

They never give us a heads up about stuff like layoffs. It just happens. How are we supposed to plan our lives? Keeping us clueless just makes everyone angry and scared.

Confirmed by an employee, at least one tpr store in TX was just told they are closing permanently in 3 days.

Autodesk, Inc., a maker of digital design software, announced Thursday it plans to lay off about 1,000 employees, largely in sales roles.

The majority of the team is gone, and only a few people remain. I genuinely do not know whether being laid off or being left behind is the worse outcome.

With the new frontier acquisition, do you think Verizon will conduct layoffs to be able to support all of the frontier employees?

A standardized platform across CSG first will help work out the bugs in Maverick. This will pave the way for the training of the AI replacement for financial and Logistics teams, and to some respects Support.
Any bugs will be at first blamed on the users so management will spend a month threatening those is sees as saboteurs. ISG will be next to see if it scales up to the needs of those products.
A year or so of training will give the AI enough info to become full-fledged replacement. I will be leaving the day my bonus hits my account. I have a new job lined up starting April 6.

In the year 2000, the avg stock price between BB&T and Suntrust was $37.88 per share. In 2000!!!!! It’s hovering around $51 per share now. Horrific return for shareholders but somehow Bill’s compensation keeps climbing? Throw the thief out!!!

that massive layoffs are coming soon. Before the next earnings date of 3/9

I was laid off in August so I was just wondering about my folks in Atlanta.

New thread to include but not limited to...
Financial (Market cap, earnings, debt load, %of short interest float, and of course, stock, stock, stock and more stonk!)
Various xerox initiatives that have led to past, present and future(?) demise (Product: 3D metal printers, Drupa 2008, Java UI?) Smooth movery of Fuji M00NING, Lean 6ix Sigma, HP, Lexmark debt deal sans ADF Roller assembly part numbers...)
Really too much more to list but will make another thread for, “Bottomless Word Salad via Leader Beanery.”

You heard it here first. The next layoff for Management and Bargained employees is going to cut deep. Organizations and groups typically not impacted are going to see a significant (30%) reduction in force. This year will also be significant focus on 3rd and 4th levels.

Any word on layoffs in ECS?

Today Steve will announce he plans to return profits to Obama care in 2026. Flood your congressman with your thoughts as they should ask him where he obtained all that money. Makes sense why no one getting a descent raise, a bonus or why he decreased the 401 k match and the uptick in layoffs. He got to impress some congressman and throw them a bone.

Its time to short this pig down to a single digit mid-et.

Here it goes again for this company. Layoffs have happened this past week. They say never again and here we go again. More to come in these next six months. That lie about it not happening and it happened.
