Chicago Public Schools has announced that all previously planned layoffs are rescinded due to an amended budget incorporating increased state funding. District leadership expressed confidence in meeting payroll and opening schools on schedule. This development follows the Board of Education's decision to hold state officials accountable for underfunding. A coalition of stakeholders, including the union and legislative leaders, is working to secure the necessary revenue. Further details on the implementation of the reversed layoffs are expected.

Oregon's unemployment rate has significantly increased, now ranking as the third highest nationally. This rise began approximately three years ago, with the jobless rate hovering above 5% for the past year. Major layoffs at prominent companies like Intel, Nike, and OHSU, alongside weakness in construction and manufacturing, have impacted the state's economy. Unlike other western states, Oregon has experienced consistent year-over-year job losses since January. Employment in Multnomah County remains substantially below its 2019 peak.

Any news for layoffs in ASEAN head anything?

Not sure on the number of folks impacted across BUs but RA are coming in Sept. Given that this have been the worst quarter with a historic price drop, let’s hope for the best.

Yep, another 12%. Media companies across the US continue to circle the drain.

p.s. Feel free to add that short, toxic, fat, combative liability of a new CISO to the list. Someone who actually fits in the culture would make things better. His enemies list grows week by week.

Im curious why leadership/ HR has not figured out that protecting the people that charge indirect labor (middle management) and treating your workforce like cr-p to the point they resign doesn't make you more money.. your DL money makers are quitting but your heads are so far up your own as*es you cant see this circlej--kis driving the company into the ground.

Getting tired of the Teflon BS coming from MD and his staff on social media. Look over here at my spoiled son who amazingly got a billion dollars of funding to put batteries(?) in people’s back yards. D-mb as f*ck idea. But daddy promotes it like crazy. Every nation needs sovereign AI, build more data centers, meanwhile in the real world his company is falling apart. He’s laying off 10’s of thousands of people. His presidents are mo--ns and his SVPs are even worse. They’re just “yes men” who would sell their own kids for a buck. Greedy ba----ds. It’s got nothing to do with the fact that they have money, it’s pathetic and sad that their entire life IS about money. Pathetic human beings and ba----ds who do nothing but su-k America dry and don’t give anything back. They’re the problem and they need to get out.

If you are not in a hub location I suggest you start looking for a new job. Hub locations are a lot of them by area but LOB but if you are in a satellite office you will be forced back in

Our CEO claims the bank needs to automate routine tasks to save money. But if the goal is truly maximum cost reduction, the math isn't adding up.

• The Worker: Costs a modest salary, generates direct output, and uses AI to get 30% faster.
• The Executive: Costs millions in base pay, multi-million dollar bonuses, massive stock grants, and golden parachutes.

If AI is excellent at synthesizing massive data sets, forecasting market trends, predicting risks, and optimizing resource allocation... isn't that literally the job description of our C-Suite?

And more importantly, is the constant focus on cost reduction the most effective path to growth?

A tireless AI-replaced C-suite could intelligently transition Wells Fargo from a defensive "crisis-management" posture into a growth-oriented, technologically advanced institution with unwavering focus. By pivoting away from the aggressive cost-cutting and East Coast centralization that defined our CEO’s tenure, a new AI leadership could optimize the bank across 3 primary areas that include 1. Aggressive Technical and Digital Modernization 2. Business Diversification and Revenue Growth, and 3. Modernization of Risk and Compliance.

Eliminating the C-Suite introduces truly independent oversight, while removing bias and self-dealing, ethical issues, nepotism, lack of accountability, and stifled innovation due to an outdated old boys club mentality.

If we are truly entering an era of peak efficiency, let’s start at the top of the org chart, not the bottom.

Which departments are impacted in this round of layoffs?
Are there more layoffs on horizon for Echostar employees?

Twilio's video and voice APIs along with their voice-based AI features, are proof that this space is very much a growth market.

Cisco had the same assets and the same opportunity. Instead it filed the people building this technology under non-core, non-growth, legacy, and let them go.

The market just told Cisco what it thinks of that call.

So when will know when the 1st lay off will occur it’s August 7th? I need a report let’s talk about it!

Bryan has the energy of a used car salesman. He seems very untrustworthy and incompetent. They just talk a lot without saying anything substantive. What is happening with the company? What is HISs future? Why do they even do quarterly calls to tell us we are doing well and then pull some bs like this. Bryan is taking home a gigantic paycheck compared to the size of our company. The greed of shareholders is really insane. Every company lays off thousands of employees like it’s nothing just because the profits were 1 or 2 percentage lower.

Seems like many of my go to resources adjacent to my account team has been retiring this week. What's going on?

Per Floods call yesterday the smb new branded group was 3k below forecast. I still am unsure of what’s going to happen with us as a segment of the group as a lot is transition over to i2B but i will say it’s brutal out here.

Have a great weekend everyone,

100% be cautious of this.. You’ll read a lot of people say something like “oh I got a job during those 60 days and kept the severance”. I did this. Lost my severance. Then got laid off two months later at my new job. 8 months later im back here. In a role 3 levels lower than when I left.

Remember those 60 days you’re still employed. If you accept another role. You aren’t laid off. You’ve now quit.

It’s a notice of potential employment loss due to layoff. If you accept another role during that time you quit your job and took a new job. These companies have automated systems that notify each other. Especially with workday.

Very much do start your job hunt immediately. It’s a long drawn out process with multiple rounds of interviews.

Just don’t accept the role until day 61.

I beg of you - listen to my advice.

I have heard september but anyone has any new info? I also heard it can be labour day weekend like last year

Layoffs confirmed, just after earnings

I work for the most incompetent and delusional human being I’ve ever met. That he has reach a high level is truly astonishing.

Anyone hear anything about Dell Canada layoffs?
Heard rumours for Friday, we’ve had like no layoffs so far, at least in sales.

How many workers jobs had to die for this all time high stock price? The motive behind every decision the MC makes is this number in order to pad the stock options they are given.

Capone pronounced like the famous chicago gangster... this is more appropriate that pronouncing as cap one. Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt. Sad, sad, sad. I have seen so many new posts about the new RIFs this week, and just as many, if not more celebration postings on LinkedIn about new job acceptances, promotions, and brand new job postings. This company is The Worst.

Closure End Dates for NYC are 9/10, 9/12, and 9/30 for layoffs.

I did not take VSP, but after what I have witnessed in the past week I truly wish I had.

Some people being told they cannot tell people they took VSP when some are. Teams finding out their People Leader is leaving via the rumor mill before they are told by them because "We want to be able to tell them where they are going to land", two weeks later they have no idea who they will report to.

High level VP's in charge of hundreds to thousands of people not seeming to have a clue what the new org structures will be or are doing a really good job of playing d-mb.

Get your s--- together, lock yourself in a room until you have a damn plan for those that will be left.

So many about to be blindsided by ISP next week from Mon-Wed that truly think they are safe because they did not take VSP.

Best of luck to all of you who chose to leave and to those that did not chose to leave but are on secret lists out there. You will be OK, and better off after what our leaders have shown us this past couple of weeks!
