About 10 were displaced today from the Barn (they were all WFH but based in Oregon). Estate care center. I wonder how many folks from the Barn remain that are still working from home.

Anyone out there have insider information about what’s going on with the planned layoff of 80~ fraud specialists and leaders in Portland, OR? They told us we would be “laid off in the next two years” in Jan of 2024, then just never did it? Total radio silence until finally in October they said it was “being pushed back”. Will they ever let us go? If you’re an executive leader reading this, and you thought we were going to quit before our severance packages were doled out, you’re an id--t.
20% reduction in staff at Seattle and Oregon Starbucks stores taking effect later this month.
Vacuum Technique said it will close its facility in Clackamas because of “changing business needs.” Seventy-eight jobs will be eliminated, according to a new filing with the state’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission.
The news comes after Purelight Power, a Medford-based solar company, told state officials last week that it will be shutting down operations and eliminating 109 jobs, including 84 in Medford.

Is it better to stay working at Nike during these challenging times or would it be better to consider a Career change?
What other careers could Nike associates with our experience enter?
As for me, I'm on the fence because I can't stand living in Oregon. I'd like to move but have no idea yet what other careers to research.
Oregon’s unemployment rate has climbed a full percentage point in the past year to 5.2%, its highest level since the pandemic. Oregon has the third-highest jobless rate of any state, behind only California (5.6%) and Nevada (5.3%.)

You hear it first here. Ready for your last Christmas meal, coffees and bananas.
Haven't heard anything in FM yet
I know it was talked about with HC reductions but am a little shook my fault for not exploring the job market coming up to 10 years at intel, does anyone know details about severence packages that recently been laid off in Oregon? Is it the same as before?
Leaving Nike was the best decision I've made in my life. I did not realize I was in depression working in such a company where employees don't do any actual work. I was at Nike for 5 years and left soul s**king Oregon and Nike. Much happier, lost 30 pounds in a year, my health markers are healthier.
My friends who work there have been trying to get a job for 3 years. That's what nike does to you - make you unfit for jobs outside!
Which BU:'s in Oregon had any firings of at all?

Salem and Barnhart are no more. I hope speedy layoffs for the rest of you. My system crashed 3 times during Balance Transfers today during my last hour of calls. Just reminding me of all the good times we had together.
The Salem credit card customer service site was closed today. No fanfare. 10 am scheduled meeting. Handshake from executives walking the floor thanking us for our service. And turn in your computer on the way out. 201 heads with one giant swing of the axe. 2 years of sitting on pins and needles, the relief was palpable in the building.
Take payments and collect UI or take lump sum and collect UI? What’s the best route?
Rumor is that security guards are getting laid off at the end of October.
October 28th seems to be the day.
Anyone know how it'll go down?
Has anyone else heard that rumor from Oregon about more layoffs coming in mid-November? I’m trying to figure out if there’s any truth to it. The only thing I’ve actually heard from people I work with is that some teams are merging and a few folks are being moved around. That could easily explain some of the chatter.
So when I saw a Reddit thread claiming that a supervisor told a tech “more layoffs are coming,” I wasn’t sure how much weight to give it. There’s been so much speculation lately that it’s hard to tell what’s legit and what’s just people trying to fill in the blanks. Has anyone heard anything?
Looks like The Barn staff count is down to 372 ppl on Workday. Anyone here recently laid off from hillsboro?
One benefit to my eventual layoff is I will never come back to this layoff chat again. Most comments are negative. WF and any other company has the right to set expectations. If you don't like them, you can find a better fit for yourself. I loved my job ( 90% of the time). I had some amazing managers and met some great friends over the many years I've worked here. Can I complain about some things? Sure. But for the most part, I have no complaints. There will be many things I'll miss once I no longer work here. Best to you all. Hillsboro OR hang in there. This chapter will soon come to an end.

Just to have an Idea of how many people Intel is laying off as it is not clear the exact number. I would start with one of my friend's org. The Oregon list is not updated yet so no idea how many laid off.

I am at TETD under ATTD. We have teams in OR and in AZ. Intel is shutting down all developments in TETD, so we are letting go of ~60% employees which would be several hundreds both in AZ and in OR.
This is another typical Intel failing in strategy. After investing billions and hiring lots of really talented engineers for more than 20 years, now we are shutting down because there are no immediate customers as we trust TSMC more than ourselves.
Everyone who sees this, remember you will be the next target. DO NOT TRUST INTEL LEADERSHIP period. Intel is set on the course for bankruptcy like Motorola. I am afraid USA is following the course of Intel these days under the great leadership of our fearless but regarded leader. This so awesome for China.
Since I'm still technically an employee during the 60 day period following the notice of displacement (October), I take it I wait to apply after the 60th day (in December)?
