People are really on edge lately about the ranking/layoffs.
Employees look at each other as competitors as we walk around campus.
People feel compelled to speak up in meetings to state the obvious in an effort to show their knowledge.
It is really awkward.
What other stupid observations have you seen?
When are the ranking sessions? When are all ranking sessions completed?
The cuts amount to about 10% of the company's workforce.
Singapore-based workers were the first to learn their fate, with layoff emails arriving at 4 a.m. local time, according to Bloomberg. Employees in the U.K. and the U.S. were slated to be informed as their own mornings began. Meta asked North American employees to work from home Wednesday
This su-ks :(
Is there any one who hasn't received the severance agreement yet? I ask bcos a number of people have received it.
I am one of the impacted associates . Was promoted earlier this year then suddenly let go. Two weeks later, I’m still stuck in my room dealing with constant depression and anxiety.
How is everyone else coping with the sudden change . I clearly didn’t see this coming , falsely assume my rockstar status insulated me
Former Meta Dublin.. How have teams been affected? Any teams in particular hit?
Everyone has said that the 3 day requirement is rolling. If that’s the case and I take two weeks off can I only go in 1 day the week before I’m off and one day the week I come back?
When will we know when our IFP roles end? I thought we would find out today morning as WARN notice.
The next round of layoffs here at NetApp highlight a growing issue: leadership increasingly feels disconnected from reality. Too many decisions seem to come from a C-level bubble rather than from understanding employees and customers. Another concern is the number of VPs/SVPs coming from companies like Microsoft, Oracle, or Pure Storage. External experience is valuable, but NetApp shouldn’t become a copy of everywhere else. The company’s strength was always its own culture and people.
Are you kidding me, you show up to the town hall wearing skinny short pants and ankle top sneakers ?
I was just wondering if anyone has heard whether Accredo will also be impacted by the current layoffs at Cigna, or if that area is expected to remain stable for now.
There seems to be a lot of uncertainty, so I thought I would ask in case anyone has heard any updates or information being shared internally.
Hot Mess town hall today. Will he paint the org all rosy, as if we should be happy to be working under him? Will he conveniently skip over his big project to outsource all?
All the wellness messaging in the world doesn't mean much when people are stressed about possible layoffs. Nothing says healthy workplace culture quite like anxiety, rumors, and employees wondering if they are on the next list.
Former happy Cengager checking in to see what’s happening in Loserville.
Get out and let Cengage burn.
There is more money and better cultures out here.
Good luck
The leadership is hoping you will. They're hoping they'll get fewer people to do more. If you know what's good for you and all of your coworkers, you won't play into their hands.
Don’t give me all that double talk about needing a job and all.
You are grown human beings. You should be able to do something else, and clear yourself of this mess here.
Why do you keep doing the same thing every day, yet expecting a different result? At this point you are beyond being able to justify why you stay here to anyone or yourself.
Any idea when the next round is? This is a layoff blog,
Well well well looks like Devon bit off more than they could chew. 1 year salaries being offered to select groups in Houston to stay on in the Houston office because OKC can’t absorb it.
Honestly, I never thought the current Bank President would have such a devastating impact on USAA Bank’s culture, organization, and people leadership. I knew him when he was an ED, watched him move up through the ranks, and genuinely congratulated him when he was selected. At the time, I was happy for USAA because I believed he might help restore the culture many of us remember from before 2018, etc. I never imagined it would turn out like this.
Starbucks is laying off 300 corporate employees nationwide. This includes staff at regional offices in Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas. The cuts primarily affect marketing, human resources, and supply chain management. No coffeehouse employees will be impacted by these layoffs. These actions are part of ongoing efforts to cut costs and simplify operations.

How did we get here?
I’ve worked in this industry for more than 35 years, and this is stunning. Employee exhaustion from perpetual cost-cutting cycles has become so normalized that people now seem to accept it as a fact of life.
I understand capitalism. I understand the need to make a profit. But at what point did we remove the human element from the workplace, all while increasing our use of slogans like "people first" and "we’re a family"?
We've became a sick society.
MassHire Lowell Career Center is not planning employee layoffs for its fiscal 2027 budget. Its positions are funded by state and grants, not the city budget. This contrasts with the city of Lowell, which has proposed significant employee layoffs. MassHire absorbed four full-time ARPA-funded positions into its operating budget. The center manages its budget through attrition, not filling vacancies, and leveraging grant funding.

all of the “It’s okay to not be okay, you’ve got a team who cares” emails…Pick a lane, either Own being a sweatshop or actually treat associates with respect and kindness.
At this point, it would not surprise me if they are creating a list of people who reach out to wellness for layoffs.
How does a risk and compliance manager who has no background in risk or compliance get hired in the 1st place?
Secondly, that very manager had to move from the BL she was hired to support due to complaints and has zero respect from anyone she interacts with because she lacks the very respect necessary to build relationships.
SHE HAS DRIVEN OUT 6 EMPLOYEES IN 2 YEARS!!!! YOU KEEP GIVING HER VICTIMS! How does she continue to be approved to harm another employee!?! When is enough enough? She is a liability to the company you are here to protect!
FIS is making fool of US based employees by providing Cloud Academy or Skill Builder etc.
The management has made clear that all the hiring will be done in India/ Philippines.
US based employees can spend time in learning, but they will never get chance to apply the gained knowledge.
FIS is providing this benefit, in case employees start class action that they were not provided growth opportunities. FIS will provide SkillBuilder / cloud Academy as cover to say that opportunities were provided
Anyone knows when are they gonna tell who's affected from EU teams? Last time it took up to 1 year depending country which is crazy and should be illegal
As CR stated, 75% of LR will be re-hired where needs are. True or baloney? Everyone getting four months salary with benefits, then COBRA? Exit date set to July 14?
Did team leaders announce send off and good luck meetings? Or a nice kick in rear, and message - have a nice day….
24 fired, 84 stays
If you are affected please post your org and years of service
Has T Rowe Price ever had a "corporate tent" at the Preakness race? If so, did they have one this year? Hiring cheap labor really opened the door for "leadership" to treat themselves right - VIP suites at Orioles and Ravens and waterfront harbor views. Paid lunches and dinners in Harbor East. Who knows what else. Must be nice.
Baldwin Wallace announced further program and staff cuts. The university will cease offering 35 academic programs. Ten faculty members face job elimination. These actions aim for financial stability amid declining enrollment. The university previously cut 35 positions.

Last sentence - Now is the time.
Now is the time to quit sending that garbage but, since they don't care about anyone here in the least, it will continue.
Emplyoyees have lost:
So how does management expect to keep and attract employees under these circumstances?
Over 5,100 workers faced layoffs across the U.S. supply chain sector. These job cuts affected logistics, manufacturing, and transportation companies. Major employers like FreshRealm, GEODIS, Ryder, and DSV announced significant reductions. Reasons included restructuring, contract losses, and softening industrial demand. Layoffs spanned at least 20 states, impacting various facility types.

The University of Oregon disregarded seniority during librarian layoffs. A neutral arbitrator ruled against the university's decision. The arbitrator found both junior and senior librarians were qualified. Contract terms required seniority to be a priority in such cases. This ruling followed layoffs impacting eight library positions in summer 2025.

Oakland City University employees did not receive their May 8 paychecks. The Indiana institution previously warned 167 workers of June 1 layoffs. The university is seeking donations from two companies to cover payroll and remain open. It also considers selling a carbon capture patent and has listed two buildings for sale. The Higher Learning Commission is investigating the situation.

We know cyber got hit recently… anyone knows who’s next?
Per Rob’s most recent email, our teams will remain intact until January 1st. After that? Who knows!
When, where, and number of affected workers would go a long way to allying fears and improving mental health as well.
It would also dispel rumors of large layoffs and improve optics with the media.
