#notification

Is it an email, phone call, something else? I'm guessing since we're working from home, it's not a meeting, unless they call you in, which seems a bit too cruel even for this place. I'm sorry if this is common knowledge, but I'm new here and new to layoffs in general.

How will they be notified since people do not sit in a designated spot? If they turn off access, they wouldn't even get an email for a meeting....

Hello Folks. The last round was just over on 10/23. The next round is fast approaching. Employment at ATT is like paying utility bills - it happens monthly and don't know the number (in this case employees impacted).

I heard there was more layoffs this week? Who was affected?

Does anyone know if we will we receive any layoff email at midnight or later in the morning on Tuesday?

So our site is getting closed next week. How does the displacement go down? Do they send you an invite the day prior to come onsite the next day and drop off your laptop and badge? Since there’s hundreds of us in the site curious how this will go down or is it just a virtual phone call and then we ship our laptops back? We’ve heard leadership will be onsite so just not sure what the protocol is.

Heard the cuts come on 27th. Decisions about names already made.

And is everyone on the list supposed to find out that same day?

At least it won’t be a drawn-out process, which would only make things worse. Good luck to everyone.

Anybody in Milwaukee area get hit?

Has anyone received their notification yet?

10/23 notification date

Many organizations impacted

Good luck to all .

Say a mass layoff happens next week like it did back in 2015. Will the meetings where they break the news to people be over Zoom? Will there be a room option and a Zoom option tied to the meeting. I’m just trying to picture how this will all work given our hybrid model, as that obviously wasn’t a thing they really had to worry about back in 2015. I honestly hope it’s just a Zoom call. Sounds less traumatizing lol

What happens if I’m on PTO the day they do layoffs? Will they call me on my personal phone, or wait until I’m back in office the next week?

Can somebody PLEASE state if they've started notifying people already or if the layoffs will start sometime next week or at some other point in the future? The lack of available information is stressing me out, to put it mildly.

Was notified I will no longer be employed in 2026.

WILL BE DONE BY AUTOMATED EMAIL
Not Tuesday 28!
MOST line managers don't know the details yet!
Info from HR friend.
Clearly a change from the previous company process.

Solution Engineer, received email this morning. Several of my sales team as well let go. Meeting for details later.

Have those been affected by the planned reductions been notified yet or given clues? Here at Imperial and EM Canada? Asking for a friend...

Marriott is being hush hush about exactly how many, but HUGE cuts are happening. Notifications to those affected this week, new postings this month, and those that don't get offers are out Jan 2. An entire IT department is going from 40+ to 4, North America reservation centers closing and consolidating leadership, HR, and support teams, support above center is being gutted. Not Mr. Marriott's vision at all. 😔

Standby for more notifications to emerge

We were told company wide layoffs are coming. I hate this impending doom every year around holidays. Su-ks because nobody is safe during a layoff.

Does anyone know when managers get notified that their direct reports will get displaced due to location strategy? I've heard that it's the Friday before a Tuesday layoff for direct managers. Also curious when second level managers know.

RIF coming soon and notifications will be on 10/23. Believe it will be 6% across the company and all departments will be impacted. Thanks for the usual early Christmas present, Verizon.

Meeting invites out today for layoffs

Thank you.

It was bad enough we didn't get to say goodbye to those they threw out of the firm as the firm asked us all to stay home to receive calls. We found out if you were laid off you were immediately banned from the building like you were a criminal. Nobody got to say goodbye. Then those of us left got to watch the firm come through with a huge trash can and clean out the file cabinets and lockers of those laid off. Why, why would you do this during the work day? The firm couldn't do this task after hours or the weekend? This firm has lost its humanity. Guess the lesson is everyday hug your friends at work. Tell them how much you appreciate them and do not keep anything at work. Prepare like every day is your last day.

Heard from a director that we will most likely be notified before the week of November 10 to WFH. So, no one will be in office and the layoffs will happen over a phone call. Curious if anyone has heard the same info?

A colleague told me they got some sort of pre-notice (working) of ~30 days before they were going to get an official notice of 60 days (non-working) in the near future. I've only heard of something like this in broad locations getting displaced and NOT individuals. Is this new or just very unique situation? EVERY individual I've known displaced prior was immediately non-working.

HR accidentally sent me a layoff notice and try to retracting it they already went to my cell phone. It happens the end of this week and I'm calling in sick with all my sick time and using FMLA.

HR has rooms blocked off for Thursday. Lots of rumors running rampant it is going to happen tomorrow. Prepare and good luck to all.

Was supposed to be in a meeting and the person had an OOO stating they were no longer with the company....are we letting go of people. I looked up another person and same message.

A lot of people it should theoretically apply to, including me, still haven’t. All it’s done so far is create a ton of confusion.

Have you been notified of your fate? Post here! My manager has been very quiet.

The largest single corporate layoff in U.S. history was IBM's reduction of its workforce by 60,000 employees in 1993.

However, the ongoing mass federal layoffs under the second Trump administration, potentially exceeding 200,000 workers and possibly reaching 300,000, could surpass this corporate record if completed. More to come in 4th Quarter 2025

Other major layoffs include Citigroup's 50,000 job cuts in 2008 and Sears' 50,000 job cuts in 1993.

Sending the we will be laying people off email before actually telling someone that they are laid off is wild…. Does anyone know what departments are going to be hit with this?

What’s the process for employees that are impacted this round?

I have been told that a bunch of people have been notified by management that they have been selected. Is this true?

Who do we know that have gotten notified so far?
