#nextlayoff

Hearing conversations about more reductions in January. Verizon is a monster.

Lets see who gets it right:

I keep hearing mid February. Sales team will be effected big time.

Who agrees?

can anyone confirm the dates of the December layoffs?

Title says enough.

There was a rumor about the 12/18 date for more Wellmed/Optum layoffs, but someone just received an in person meeting for 12/4 and they're concerned so I wanted to see if anyone had heard about anything happening then?

Middle management/white collar and back office roles.

LOB Technology

Anyone else hearing from leadership that another 5K round is planned in March post the reorganization across new leaders. Supposedly, this new transformation leadership is being asked to find efficiencies through downsizing targets.

Been hearing a lot of chatter of another wave of layoffs coming within the next few months. Figure the 5 days back in office is them hope people will voluntarily leave. Been hearing a lot of scrutiny towards remote workers that are outside the rto office mileage.

Hard to focus on the job on hand, and not looking for employment elsewhere. So much red tape you kinda feel like you are handcuffed and just waiting for the hammer.

Anyone else hear anything about another wave?

I am hearing that up to 20 % on the union workforce will be layed off next . (Workers hired after 8 of 2003 ) Any thoughts or facts on this ?

Welp, looks like ECRL is the next dept going to be laid-off according to his Town Hall. All I heard was 2026. Anyone have a more specific timeframe when this will happen?

I've heard that another 10-15% of layoffs are coming around the corner. Our subscriber base keeps falling. I'd have to think this is accurate. What are other folks hearing?

What do we collectively know so far?
When is the next round and who will be affected?

We all know more layoffs are coming, it's the new norm. Any thoughts on what could be targeted next?

Has anyone heard anything going with T?

In the next 6 months as the ai bubble will be in full affect

Good luxk

CNBC just reported (per WSJ) that Verizon is expected to layoff 15,000 employees next week, making it its biggest layoff ever. It’s coming. Sigh.

Word around town, next week is round 2.

What is the percentage of layoff completed in this round? And is there another round coming?

I heard from my colleagues that there was another round this morning. Anybody else heard about this?

If layoffs happen it’s happening nov 20th or earlier.

Lists aren’t made last minute so your fate was sealed 20-30 days ago.

Initial estimates range from 15-30% depending on org but overall beverage to about 20%.

There’s likely a round 2 of layoffs early 2026.

The crisis manager article says there’s nothing to worry about - you know why?! Cause he’s a crisis manager. He’s probably on a list and has no idea lol

Lastly, these corporations you don’t hold any loyalty too. All that family talk is just bs. All those retirement emails thanking you for your service - bullsh-t. Make your money, make your connects, climb the ladder or hop to another. Do not take it personally.

Losing sleep and checking this board every 2 hours is not good for your mental state. Just get your affairs in order.

A lot of VPs, SVPs, and EVPs were given the notice. Just be thankful you weren’t one of those under heavy scrutiny. You have better odds as an underlying.

Good luck all - love you.

Spoke with a supervisor who confirmed today that layoffs are coming and also added that layoffs will be for managers and stores. Also layoffs will will happen before Nov 20. It was indicated some managers will be gone before then. They had meetings today and word is they will know on Friday.

Alright folks, this is the entire point of this website. Post what you know about what groups have been hit and how bad it is.

Chairman is 5 weeks in and started working 10 weeks ago.
What's next?
GB and KD out? bottom 10% out? what else?

Anyone know if there are going to be layoffs before Christmas?

Has anyone gotten anymore recent updates on potential upcoming layoffs?

Hearing from multiple sources that a layoff is planned for November 14th?

Annual Nov layoffs on the way?

What is happening with layoffs at Congress St in Portland ?

Anyone heard of the next layoff? Confirmed please, don’t want to cause anxiety but worried about RIF before the holidays!

The first Monday of November is when layoffs were done the last 2 years. That allows your employment to extend into the following year and you get the annual bonus.

Heard from a few peers that Monday 11/03 will be announcement for another staff reduction this year.

The comrades in management have slated the launch of their yellow ai for February so it is likely they will can more people then. I expect more centres to close as all disposable income seems to be pumped into this thing.

I heard they will target higher ups, level 6 and above. Can anyone confirm?

When is the next layoff for ATT?

The "Ask your supervisor" guy/gal - please don't response.
