#layoffs

When a company keeps leaning on layoffs to fix problems, it’s a giant red flag. It doesn’t matter what excuse the leadership gives, be it cost cutting, restructuring, or aligning priorities. It all points to leadership that doesn’t know how to manage long term.

Tech giant Microsoft is preparing another round of job cuts, this time in France, following large-scale layoffs in the United States earlier this year. According to reports, Microsoft will reduce about 10% of its workforce in France, impacting roughly 200 employees.

Letting us wait like this, creating unnecessary stress, having the entire workforce worry about our jobs... No way in he-l this is not intentional and aimed at getting some of us to quit. Their goal is to create atmosphere so stressful, so chaotic, so toxic, that people will walk away even without severance. I'm guaranteeing you this is their plan.

I can confirm three people left our asset in the US yesterday with a possible fourth waiting to be confirmed. There are speculations that six more will be leaving in the next few weeks. Any updates from elsewhere?

It Su-ks, specially ACN su-ks then my socks, Even before the end of September, so many people are stranded in the US Market, another 110 more days to go to touch 2026, for sure the federal proects, banking & retaining industries, Oil domains are breaking into pieces, on top the tarrifs - mortgage, car loans, kids education expenses, medical Expenses ...........................God please save

How many years of human carnage do you require to get it?

On the day of the lay-off please keep your cool and don’t burn any bridges. You may need these contacts going forward. Just remember it is probably not within your immediate supervisors control to decide who gets laid off. It is likely the next level up who decides so you can think poorly of them but do not harm anyone. After all they are just doing their job. There is a whole lifetime ahead of you to have really evil thoughts about these people who messed your life up. That you can look forward to because it will not go away.

I can hear the news headline now, “Humana lays off thousands and ships jobs overseas. Humana stock tanks 12% in a week…News at 11.”

I wonder if we are going to soon hear some bad public relations press about Humana in coming days?

Perhaps even on some local news stations. I know I will be paying attention.

And I am sure some law firms phones are ringing off the hook these days.

Halliburton is laying of people because I was one of them. I was taking vacation to help my sister with her cancer diagnosis when I got a phone call over speaker phone telling me I was laid off. Halliburton always above the best.

Some providers received odd emails today, pretty elusive and vague. Only leads to assumptions, I know, but this is how things are typically done, so wasnt sure if anyone has heard anything or has any insight on impe ding RIFs

Voluntary exit email yet?

Who do you think would be impacted? Majorly Ansys employees? Or What groups?

Coming from Ansys, Ansys had very few layoffs over the years. Acquisition by synopsys is the worst thing.

Buckle up peeps - another round's acomin'...

Any layoff today in California ? We don't have a warning notice, so I guess it is a sneaky way to lay off some on the week of 8/25/2025 and 49 in September. They still get away with 60-day payments after the notice of WFR.

Any truth to that?

For employees who were hired as remote, how are they being handled? Are SVPs/EVPs given the opportunity to prove why they are valuable? Or are top leaders just making the decisions? Understand this will be addressed in Phase 2, but if a remote worker lives in a state where there is no Paramount Office to report to, are their leaders able to fight for them or are top executives just making the call to let them go say in Nov?

Has anyone heard anything on corporate layoffs? There were a few people let go this week- are more coming?

Altice just announced closing 3 stores in Brooklyn and selling 17 and transitioning the employees impacted to the new company. New company is Red Lion Mobility which is a shell company that stated 3 months ago even though Altice says in email they are a long standing partner. Their website redlionmobile.com is under construction.

UP just furloughed all the Carmen and closed down the RIP Track. 17 Carmen. UP just posted TCI jobs in Rock Springs.

for anyone working on the customer service side and taking phone calls or working as an OE, starting this month they are making impossible to meet metrics mandatory, you need a 90%+ adherence rate, and all your survey statistics from members need to be above 90%

If a single metric or survey statistic is not meeting, you will be sent to the office at least 2x a week, if more than one is not meeting or you do not get it fixed within a month, its 5x a week.

Also, if a single member calls in and their inquiry is not resolved, you need to go into the office 2x a week.

The analysis and expectations from WFM are that the peak season will not be peak at all and barely anyone will be calling in due to how many people are leaving all plans across the board, they want people to quit because they know that people are not at fault when members give everyone bad surveys but they force them to go into the office anyway. Tons of time off is still being offered because they have far more agents than demand and it keeps getting worse.

How many and which jobs were protected/closed? Those folks must be hiding and lying to colleagues pretending they are going through the same thing and which jobs they’ve applied for. Why won’t they show us the full org and number of positions. But saying they can’t legally? Either way, almost done this bullsh-t re org.

Former interiors employee here, I’ve heard there was a decent sized layoff today, maybe the 3rd layoff for the year? Any numbers on the RIF?

After September 15th these employees will get layoffs as per news

The Godfrey-Lee school district faces backlash after laying off five employees amid uncertain budget future.

It’s been used as an attrition tactic everywhere else, and there’s no reason to believe it will be any different here.

Heard there were some cuts at MTV today. Anyone have details?

Original: If LBT wants to execute to his vision of a slimmer Intel, with hyper focus on 3-4 areas (PC, Server, AI, IFS)... he's going to bring in his own guys he trusts to execute his goals. Let's be honest... he can't trust anyone in ELT today who supported the coup to oust Pat. These people have already demonstrated driving Intel into the ground, and proven they'll stab the CEO in the back (or in the face) for their gain (or survival)... not exactly the people you want to be surrounded by. Many current Intel execs will just retire, get spun off, or find new jobs elsewhere.

Update: Five months later... it's like this guy can predict the future! Aside from Sweater Boy Judas... every ELT/ET member has been replaced now. While the cancer has metastasized, at least they cut out the tumors (ELT), and started chemo (layoffs of deadweight, worthless excess), let's hope a new culture of real work, and zero patience for failure can take hold, and Intel can be on a path of recovery!

Or are they about to hit this week? It’s so hard to keep track. My team in NZ hasn’t been affected yet, but that doesn’t really mean much.

Any rumblings?

I mean, after the voluntary exits are counted. I’m honestly worried about the possibility of losing my job. I’ve been casually looking at what’s out there, but the market keeps looking tougher and tougher. Finding something new, or even managing the gap between jobs, feels almost impossible right now. I’m anxious that a lot of us could still end up on the chopping block.

University of Oregon is eliminating 176 positions in response to its budget deficit, and approximately 60 faculty and staff will be notified of their termination starting on Sept. 8.

So a coworker was laid off with some effective date in the future. I'm not going to give away the date because I want to remain anonymous. I don't trust HR detectives.

He's one of the lucky few ones that found a new job right away. They will not give him the severance if he leaves early before the final day. What a joke.

We put people first. Uh huh. Su-k it hr

Anyone know which teams and roles are going to be impacted in next round of RIFs (9/17 and 9/18).

At this point…can we volunteer to be let go? And if so, do volunteers get the payout? It’s seems like a better deal than staying behind to drown in work and await other rounds of RIFs… So, how do we get our name on the list?
