When the last round of layoffs happened, the first floor of Pleasanton had a dozen large boxes for packing up people's stuff. Not seeing those today and haven't heard of any layoffs from my team or anyone from the office. Anyone else seeing anything different?

Is everything scheduled yet? It’s completely crickets on this end.

I’m honestly not sure how I’m going to get through an entire week of this.

I’m so worried but it’s quiet

I just got mine. Good luck, everyone!

Has it started? Any 1:1s yet? Please share.

Been seeing for days on here, fishbowl, and reddit that layoffs are anticipated for today (9/2). Is it happening? Is it big? What time will we know if we’re in the clear?…… at least for this round :-)

Until when? Just so we can stay extra stressed on a daily basis forever?

There no reason not to update your resume this weekend and start sending it into some companies your interested in. I’m sending mine to a few places to at least get the ball rolling if Larry kicks me to the curb.

Either you can reject the new job, take a new job or at minimum start finding the next gig.

John Deere ISG employees faced layoffs in 2024. It appears layoffs are continuing at other divisions in 2025 (and beyond?). Are ISG employees safe for the time being, or will they be affected?

Over 20 people in the US alone. You took the team that is our bread and butter and layed them all off. WOW

My last day was August 29. Me and 4 other AR Analyst were laid off on Wednesday just after Q2.

If you’re a tech support agent, stop fooling yourself , your job’s fu--ing dead. By the end of the year, Dell’s going to bury it. They don’t need you, they don’t need America, they don’t need jack sh-t beyond two godda-n continents, and they’re almost there. The whole “follow-the-sun” cr-p? That was a fu--ing lie from the start. A shiny little carrot they dangled while they gutted the teams behind closed doors. L2s and L3s, congratulations , you’re the ones they’ve decided to sla-ghter first.

And let’s talk timing. These clowns are pulling this sh-t right when the Trump administration is already sick to death of IT companies hoarding H1Bs and farming out jobs overseas. Dell’s dum--ss execs are literally juggling grenades with the pins half-pulled. I hope they get fu--ing shredded in the fallout. They deserve every ounce of backlash, every investigation, every godda-n lawsuit. They’ve bled Americans dry, pocketed billions, demanded loyalty and personal sacrifices — and in return? They sp-t in our faces.

And for the so-called “managers” and “directors” reading this : fu-k you. You don’t deserve your cushy titles or your bloated salaries. You’re lying parasites who fed your teams bullsh-t about “transparency” while sharpening the kn--e behind their backs. Your people gave everything, and you fed them straight into the grinder without a shred of guilt. You don’t fight for your employees, you don’t protect them, you just bend over and let the VPs use you like the pathetic little puppets you are. I hope when your team goes down, you get dragged down with them. Fired. Humiliated. Exposed as the gutless corporate wh--es you’ve always been.

Excellence is irrelevant. Loyalty is irrelevant.

In the end, you’re not spared or damned by the quality of your work; you’re erased because a number had to go down on a spreadsheet.

Getting cut isn’t failure, it’s statistical noise. Like a wreck on the highway, survival at Cisco has nothing to do with skill; just chance, and sooner or later, chance runs out.

Most of the research employees are great but useless to the company’s bottomline. the projects are outdated. they do no real work.

why can’t we just shut our research companies once and for all. there is no technology in the world that a vendor cannot offer better services from than our current employees who are hanging on for retirement? its a genuine question m, does anyone know whats the reason we still have semi decimated research teams?

Is the Care Manager (nurse) position a relatively safe one? Stable (if you meet the metrics/quality)?

Contemplating applying to this company 😩.
Can someone explain why are there offering positions if they are thinking about rif? Are the rifs in certain departments?

It’s not a question “IF” Anthem/Elevance is planning more RIFs, it’s more like “WHEN”. Always just assume they are, and plan accordingly. No one is safe from the RIF, so get your resume and LinkedIn up to date, start looking for ways to network more, save as much money as possible, figure out ways to strengthen your mental health, and show up every day knowing it very well could be your last.

5 year note is down to 3.7%. YTD Aggregate Bond Index up 4.97%. 3 YR Return up to 3.15%. Life is Good. Dancing in the streets. Back in the Black. 90% chance Fed will cut in Sept. No Lisa Cook ?!?!?!? Layoffs ?

Being laid off would save me from doing three jobs for the pay of one while some of the people I work with spend their days kissing up to management and not giving a damn. Why should I fear losing a job like that?

virtual pop scheduled? what is this about?

Some folks still act like this place offers a real career path. The truth is, most of us are just hoping to stay employed another week. Thinking long term here is setting yourself up for disappointment.

Imagine what things would look like if we were not doing well financially. Just imagine for a second, when we're laying off people right now, when things are going great.

Is it just me, or have layoffs become much more common than before? I'm always hearing about cuts, and that's not something that was true before.

Chipmaker Marvell Technology forecast quarterly revenue below market estimates on Thursday, disappointing investors who are accustomed to strong results from artificial intelligence-facing firms and sending its shares down 12% after hours.

I can’t stop wondering what’s really going on behind the scenes when it comes to layoffs. Who decides which teams are safe and which ones get cut? Is it performance, politics, or just random numbers on a spreadsheet? It's like no one knows what logic is being applied.

Exxon seems to have a grudge against every employee equally. No one is safe, no matter how hard you work. There’s this pervasive sense that management actually enjoys playing games with people’s livelihoods. Whether you’ve been here a year or twenty, it’s all the same. I swear there’s just a bunch of sadists at the top.

Teams were running on fumes when I was there, and I walked away two years ago. Who are they planning to get rid of now?

I relocated to the hub based on assurances of job security and professional growth. Despite these commitments, I have now been laid off. It is deeply concerning to see management decisions that appear to disregard the well-being and stability of employees’ lives.

I really thought that after this phase that I would find reason to believe in the firm again. The opposite happened. It’s clear to me that this is not a place I want to work.

Even though I’m safe, my faith and trust in leadership is broken forever. The way they kept demotions/grade drops under the radar intentionally and their handling of the six-month layoff process generally is inexcusable and riddled with unforced error after unforced error from the disastrous, word salad, tone-deaf firm town hall to the callous superficially transparent corpo comms.

The results are also a complete failure. I don’t see any efficiencies gained, just unnecessary confusion with all the middle management boneheads still around bloating the org chart. And the people they decided to promote? Nearly all are brown nosers or obviously unqualified.

On top of that i no longer feel any job security. What’s to stop the firm from arbitrarily dropping my pay a year or six months from now? Now that leadership has the taste of blood, it seems they like and will return for more. I don’t want to be here when that happens and I don’t have to be.

I didn’t think it would come to this but I’m going to start actively looking. The firm can do what it wants and I am sure will be just fine but I want no part of this new culture where employees are seen as less than human cogs to be broken, switched around internally or cast aside on management’s whim. No thanks.

Years of dedication and results don’t seem to matter anymore. It’s demoralizing for those of us left behind, to say the least. Knowing that hard work means nothing is certainly not a morale booster.

But nothing officially announced. No one knows except those impacted. Others have to figure out what really happened. Many don’t even know Cisco had a layoff. Such is the game, play wisely. Don’t wait and think you’ll outsmart others to survive. Calm before the storm.

All the layoffs currently happening are outside of the U.S., right? I was under the impression we'd be safe at least for a while before we're hit again. Was I wrong?

It just goes to show they don’t care about service quality, employees, or clients. It’s always been about the bottom line, and their appetite for more never ends.

It’s a no-brainer, really. I just hope cuts won’t be massive. Most of us need this job, no matter how little we like it or how underappreciated we feel.

The idea of being laid off, or being stuck at Nike in this culture and environment for years to come? There was a time when this would have been a no-brainer. Now, I honestly can’t tell which I dread more. If the job market were any better, I’d embrace layoffs in a second.

So do people think it’s normal to just assume that you will be laid off any day you come in? When the new leaders come in they just clean house and bring in people. What kind of work gets done when people are worried all day?

I’ve been hearing rumors there will be a huge layoff after the migration to Fusion of all the people who are working this project. Anyone else hear this?

258 roles closed from vsp and 259 got isp
I'm not a math genius but that's 517. Six months of me in panic wondering how both me and my wife who worked here until she just found a new role would pan out to feed 3 kids for 517 roles??????
This place is ran by id--ts.
