Any info on Layoffs for end of this year/next year? All the managers seem to be coming into the office more and meeting with HR. I'm wondering if the way the economy is headed if they plan on downsizing.

I often hear that people are very happy after they get laid off from here, but I still think it’s just some defense mechanism, to make it easier to accept a layoff. It wasn’t great for me at Essilor, but it’s not great for me even now because I’ve... —  read more 

Hello everyone, I am confused and I do not know what to do. I used to have a good relationship with my manager. Since last september and with all the implemented downsizing, my manager multiplied my workload by 3 and only gave me one additional... —  read more 

I no longer understand how I manage to work here. I do work for several people and I am so tired that I can no longer dedicate myself to my family or friends. I accept that amount of work just because the bills need to be paid, and if I had any... —  read more

Prayers to all my Signet colleagues impacted yesterday...20 people are gone, most of them with 10 years+ in the company... Hang in there guys, you shall find something better!

EOA has promoted several individuals across Ops and Finance to senior positions this week; some of those same self-absorbed people confirmed it with Linkedin notifications (clap clap). This is absolutely pathetic during a time when the company has... —  read more

Or will there be more today?

Major layoffs today across EOA. Prayers to all those affected. Please share your stories......division, location, tenure, severance, etc.

I've heard more layoffs are imminent. Maybe not this week, but soon. My advice to everybody is to be prepared. You know this is happening, you know you might be next, so there's no justification to not be doing everything in your power from right... —  read more 

anybody know if those who were laid off yesterday were given severance packages? And if so what?

200-300 more people were let go yesterday. Anyone know which departments were affected?

Praying for those impacted on the next round of lay-offs.

@Everyone concerned by December layoffs : Do not feel sorry for yourself, the climate is rapidly degrading. Embrace this new opportunity to live your good life ! The obvious lack of skills from the President, the CCO, the CFO and his french puppet... —  read more

Essilor of America is doing a large layoff this morning of only American employees. No French expats were terminated because Essilor is French owned. Most all of the layoffs are long term, upper level and older aged employees.

Worked at Essilor several years. I feel sorry for some of the employees that that were laid-off. However, I can tell you that for some of the people that were laid-off in the marketing department it was about time. This should have happened five... —  read more 

This is ridiculous. They fired a lot of the people who knew the business. How is crippling the business for months to save a few dollars anywhere near being a good thing?

Anybody knows if this round of layoffs at Essilor is over? And what locations were hit other than Dallas? Any info would be appreciated.

Do you think that the most recent announcement on the possible merger with Luxottica will be impacting jobs here in the States? Florida?

Performance shares were granted today. The lay off in December was 2 days after performance shares were granted.

My impression is their will be more layoffs, particularly employees between Level 5 and Level 8 are next. In my opinion, the the list could also include Level 4's.
