#nextlayoff

Has this been confirmed?

Its next week, just not sure if its Wednesday. Region looking at 25% and markets at 15-20% with full conversion to areas.
OP: @an+1keg6ghn8

Expect 10% layoffs across the board.

Any updates on when layoffs are planned to resume?

Does anyone know when layoffs will happen in Jan '26?

Or are there going to be layoffs before that? If anyone has credible updates, please share.

How soon can we expect to see the first layoff of the year? January? February?

Obviously layoffs are happening in 2026, im wondering if anyone has heard when exactly, specifically for tech?

And how many will be laid off next year?

Go ahead & tell me you feel so super confident in how things are going with Cisco, ELT, Splunk, etc. that there won’t be a LR announcement at Feb 2026 earnings call. And you know who gets caught up in these LRs, right? Those who save the company the most in LRs… new directors, senior managers, etc… But, go ahead & pretend nothing will happen & no LRs in 2026… Good luck with that… I’m looking specifically at you SBG group…

Soon

It seems that SBD expanded too fast and sales do not match. Significant strategic mistake made by our high-paid c-suite.

As a result, they are looking at 10%-15% reduction in Q1 2026. Mostly in overhead positions like engineering and management. Operations (hourly) will also be impacted.

Happy holidays and happy new year. There is nothing you can do right now (other than work on resume) so enjoy the holidays and your family/friends

Rumors saying (take what it's worth), RIF lists are due today:
1) Departments told up to 25% cut (my guess is they will just cut 1-3 ratings until they meet their number, don't know if it all be in one chop or if they will do it in phases)
2) Some VPs made list without input from their direct reports (who would be managing the impacted person), which is really bad but par for the course here
3) Company is too top heavy so expect VPs/Sr directors to be cut

on a related note:
1) Lots of leaders have NOT been told yet to calibrate ratings down. Which could mean A) it doesnt matter since RRP/raise will be little to nothing, or B) they will do it last minute in January

Jobs are being shifted to India ASAP

Cisco Just invested Billions in India manufacturing and training while cutting training, offices and resources in the USA

Word around Buffalo is we’re about to have massive layoffs. My neighbor even asked me about it. Anyone know when they will hit?

There will be a huge round of layoffs happening in Optum with notification date of Jan 22. Every business is at risk, as Corporate handed down mandates of between 10%-30% reductions depending on the business. More happening in Feb & Mar as well. Oh and RRP Funding STILL hasn’t been approved.

comments very appreciated...
and not forget layoffs where announced January ´26 .....

Any clue at all? I know none of us are safe, and rolling layoffs will probably be the new normal, but it would be great to know when this particular nightmare ends, just so we can breathe for a moment.

I had heard that there would be more layoffs this week. Does anyone know if that is true or what day it would happen?

I was recently made aware that IT is also having a layoff this quarter at the same time as the fabs. I was wondering if anyone knows how substantial it is?

Does anyone have any insight on the reorganization that will be in January?

Are there layoffs next week ? If so what geo and groups

I’ve heard rumors that more layoffs are coming this month. Has anyone else heard this?

We heard January, or March, even June.
Seems that countries where the work council is strong are not so easy to get rid of.
Any submarine infos?

Global sales leader has given mid level management orders to clean house before the new year. As much as 70% of the sales force could be in danger. Hug your loved ones and brace yourself!

This is my warning to everybody. Through insider information, there will be layoffs in February. Possibly hardest hit will be collab. Managers will be made aware right around Christmas time, everybody else notified weeks after the new year.

Any indication January or March will be the next wave ? It seems Tech Layoffs are in .

The next round is coming, not as massive, 1k and above, focus on Ireland and India and the back to the states.
Bookmark it.

Anyone hearing the same? Some let go even last week?

...Or is there a final wave on 12/9?

I've heard both rumors and want to know if any of you have heard either month cited directly from a manager

Is there any legs to the rumored layoff on 12/3 before the tree lighting?

I heard Layoffs coming in December, 15th. i heard this from a regional, who heard it from his contact in corporate HR. Hear say but can anyone confirm? and no BS java rant please.

So we all know Fido moves slowly but based on water cooler chats, the mind has been made up

They are just delaying the announcement until Q1 2026.

There's no Q1 planning for our team apparently this year so not sure what that means??

Hi folks. If there are upcoming layoff(s), can you please share the details? As for the "First - Ask your supervisor" individual, your response is not needed and please skip this post.
