LAYOFFS STARTED TODAY!!

Layed off but I must work for next 4 weeks. Was just asked to goto a meeting. TERMS- have to work until 11/27/2025 to receive severance. Out of nowhere. Blind - sided. Anyone else in my situation please comment here. Let’s help each other get through this!! 🤞


Lifer

I was a "lifer" (almost thirty years) who was severed September 2024, and all the wind had left my sails in the turmoil throughout the year or so previous to that. In all my time there, there had never been a worse problem with either leadership (including the Dauman fiasco) or morale (including after the Freston firing).

It was still an emotional blow when it happened, but I had been expecting it and had already mapped out some personal projects I wanted to pursue in order to cleanse my palat.

After just a couple of weeks, I found that I was sleeping better, getting up earlier, laughing more, feeling more spry, and had lots of creative energy that I was excited to put to use.

In short, I felt about ten years younger -- which made me realize that this wreck of a company had been making me feel ten years OLDER.

The financial concerns that I face now now come nowhere near the stresses of being inside the ever-worsening toxic behemoth. My brain is in a far better place now.

Understaffed teams and more layoffs

With so many layoffs without reason or replacements- none of these roles are actually “useless” they’re needed - the existing employees keep picking up the slack. It feels like the boiling a frog story, we just have gotten too used to doing more and more work for less and less pay. The workers have no say at all while they know the actual work being done and making the CEO money. Making the company more money to keep adding unnecessary C-suite executives with millions of dollars in pay. Why don’t we unionize? We have gotten too used to the lay offs of important workers without a real reason every Christmas. Multiple layoffs this year, we have gotten too used to this. The only “restructuring” needed is cutting the unnecessary executives and their made up roles. CEO has the personality that he’s an actor playing a CEO. These are people’s livelihoods he is playing with while getting richer than ever before.


Being laid off has been a horrible experience

I’ve lost jobs before, but this time it felt particularly offensive and infuriating. I was dedicated, consistently a top performer, and I genuinely liked what I did. I was also lucky to have a great team. For the company to throw away valuable contributors like so many of us, and strip us of the chance to keep doing what we love really highlights how empty and pointless the corporate world has become.

I’m not saying this layoff is the end of the world, but it’s hard not to feel how disappointing, futile, and ugly it all is. In any case, good luck to all of us, both those who were let go and those who remain. Here’s hoping things start making a bit more sense again someday.


Puma layoffs grow to 1,400 amid broad-based Q3 declines

Puma plans to eliminate about 900 more corporate jobs globally by the end of next year, the athletic brand announced Thursday. The company, which has about 7,000 corporate employees and previously cut 500 roles this year, said cost savings from the layoffs will be released later.

CBS Future

CBS did incur layoffs very few in sports many in news and some in CBS E even union jobs
for what's it's worth - and HR here can absolutely correct - management could be gaslighting us to calm down

were told no more planned layoffs this year no round two planned RTO will take effect for both phases Remote only jobs will end
that early 2026 is streaming related

and that yes news is a wild card with new sheriff - i'm not in news
--just conveying what was told me


SC take CM out to the shed

So let me get this straight. When the analysts are citing CM and his sale of stock as a reason for downgrading and selling stock, and lowering the outlook, under already existing pressure about future revenue, you have to wonder. All the layoffs (savings) that have come under CM are moot when it comes to a downgrade because of what CM did. I think SC needs to take CM out to the shed because his layoffs took good people out of Oracle, and maybe his layoff plans saved millions, and his boneheaded sale just cost ORCL billions. Way to go.


FedEx confirms layoffs

After careful consideration, we made the difficult decision to eliminate a small number of positions as we realign functions and enhance operational effectiveness as part of our ongoing transformation. We are working directly with affected individuals to ensure they have support during this transition.

It'll happen when it happens

Every day there's somebody saying it's happening tomorrow. Until we have official word, stop worrying and get to looking for something else. Whether you're laid off or not this round, there's always going to be the next one. The only useful thing to do right now is be proactive in your job search. That's it.


Another victim to layoffs

Amazon Games is winding down support for New World: Aeternum amid layoffs in the division and even deeper job cuts across its parent company. The game debuted on PC in 2021 and it landed on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S just over a year ago.

We lost two more people

Every fu--ing round we lose more people and the rest of us are left scrambling how to the work without them. Well I'm done. Fire me if you won't, I'm not picking up any more work. Not a single thing is getting added to my plate this time. In all honesty, now I wish I was laid off. Who knows, maybe there's still time.
