#layoff

I guess the LL5 hates me? This was after I requested to go part time. A setup to put me on a PIP?

If I don't get a call today or tomorrow by 10am and I don't get any weird blocked invites - can we assume we are getting RIFd?

My original assumption is that fully remote workers are going to get laid off soon since this guy is adamant about enforcing full RTO. But who knows these days..

Welp, looks like ECRL is the next dept going to be laid-off according to his Town Hall. All I heard was 2026. Anyone have a more specific timeframe when this will happen?

Across my career, leadership has pulled the same tired scare tactics… threatening people with unemployment, dangling PIPs, and handing out code-of-conduct write-ups like candy. It’s always the same script: intimidate the workforce and hope fear keeps everyone quiet.

Then Dan strolls in and casually tosses out ‘layoffs’ like it’s his fun fact of the day. Another pressure play. Another attempt to make people sweat.

Well, on behalf of every corporate employee who’s done being toyed with: Dan, you can’t threaten us with a good time. I’m not lurking on this forum because I’m scared of losing my job. I’m here waiting on my check. And honestly? Even if you don’t lay me off, I’m out the door after my FMLA anyway.

Target will be laying off 2,000 more employees due to the decline in store sales because they sell perverted GLBT themed merchandize and promote weird unnatural trans ideology.

For those that are impacted by the reduction in force, please check or have someone go over the severance agreement to see if there's a timeframe set for a non-compete clause. This would include verbiage regarding a timeframe of which you may be illegible for employment by a similar company offering a similar or slightly different role. While some states do have limitations on this, please exercise due diligence.

Example: You may be barred from working in a telecom or similar company for a period of six months before they would consider hiring you. You would go through the whole interview process, but then get hung up during the final selection due to this.

Heard about the big rif coming...
The company is sinking, and they are doing whatever they can to save the investors.

Keep in mind.

Your manager does not care as long as its not them
The company does not care, you are a number.
You will find something else, and be much happier.
The company is NOT what it once was, greed and horrible management along with the BS surrounding the whole COVID and WFH was the icing on the cake.
Hans ruined Erickson, did the same to VZ
Stores are useless....and a total waste of money.

If you were smart, you took advantage of the education allowance and got a degree or did training on their dime to enhance your knowledge to take it somewhere else.

good luck, you'll be fine

just a quick reminder that you could be asked to leave immediately...

Anyone know of any rifs for case management?

"According to our information, Nokia France wants to remove 427 jobs using the collective conventional termination procedure. According to a union source, this represents nearly a fifth of the workforce, which amounts to about 2 300 employees at its sites in Massy (Essonne) and Lannion (Côtes-d’Armor)."

Does anyone know about surest lay offs? Any updates would be appreciated

Anybody laid off in Aconex

A major restructure just announced with layoffs attached. Positions cut in warehouse, distribution, and account executives.

Is Verizon India impacted because the news mentions US layoffs?

Are layoffs taking into account the immigration status of employees?
I don’t wish a layoff for anyone but when it comes to it I would appreciate if US citizens get preference.

Layoffs in Platform Engineering? It’s been slow..

Biggest market layoffs will occur in South Florida and the Carolina's

Heard it from my peers who work close to Jerome.

40 stores will be depleted.

It was supposed to go live in February however, I guess sh!t didn't get done fast enough or something, and has been pushed back a quarter. I think it's May or something now, idfk... JC literally said "to be clear, this won't be pushed back further." - aka if it's not, heads will be flying.
At least that's what I've been told by someone who is part of the NDA thing, so i dont know how true this actually is.
but this NDA thing has been Dell's NUMBER 1 PRIORITY for the last year and so I'm worried because it got pushed back, this will affect raises, or even cause more layoffs than usual in Feb.

If the union folks pass on this lame offer will there be a forced reduction? Contrary to what most of you believe. We don’t all have a no layoff clause. And we are not all under the same union contract.

Does it hit with the next pay period or does it usually come later?

Our weekly team meeting on every Tuesday just got rescheduled to Nov 21st Friday for this week. Maybe they wanna accommodate the Nov 20th layoff day? Not looking good.

Anyone else have an AD ask to meet Thursday randomly. Man I’m not doing jack sh-t the rest of the day.

Does anyone know when the towers layoff will occur? If you don’t know can you give your best estimate's ? Just trying to prepare myself. What percentage of business and dnd folks do you think will be affected?

is on a chopping block. Whether that be your team or certain people from your team.
Around my office, some groups have been asked to wfh until Friday and for some is business as usual.

With today’s announcement, is there any estimate how many people are losing their jobs?

This is insane.

So if we are told on Thursday that we are being let go are we done that day or are they going to keep us working for another month after the announcement? The last round of mass layoffs that happened in 2023 they announced the layoffs in May, but kept all those employees until August or October depending on what group you were in. Just wondering if it will be immediate or if they will expect us to continue on for another 30 or 60 days before we are done.

Fife to be shutdown Feb 2026.

Sorry to all colleagues there.

Hearing about 50 roles to move to Fawley.

Been hearing rumors through the grapevine of more RIFs at RFAB

Affected employees will receive phone calls between 8-10am, and survivors will get about a 45 minute heads-up for a 15 minute “business update” meeting where HR and ADs or above tell you who was let go. This usually occurs about 11am.

If you’re let go, you’ll likely get to leave work early on Thursday and won’t be expected to come in on Friday.

Just read this, and I thought others who might have missed it might want to see it too, so I'm making it into a thread. All credit goes to @a3+1ka9y513n.

Apparently, there were some layoffs yesterday. Will it continue today and throughout the week or is that it?

November 19th has been confirmed as a Wednesday blood bath. Then later in the week, or the next week for a 2nd RIF round. I was told not just US staff either.

Bumping this from @we+1k9zcd9zv for important info.

I continue to hear rumors about an upcoming future layoffs AND a merger. I'm hearing that the VSP and additional layoffs are being done to position us well for a merger (GuideWell???).

..cant pay them back.
Lays off 600+ so far to print artificial money.
Outsources IT to TCS with sub-par knowledge, skillsets, and abilities.
The organization eats the people that made it great, rewards and protects thr managerial, director, and vp branches. - hires a buzzword artist that has ties to Indian based TCS.. and guts the company just like he did at Shell.
The bowl is swirling.
Firesale is imminent.
Wouldn't doubt there being a SEC investigation or two in the future.

EJ actually has a 6 page "layoff guide" available to help clients when their lives are turned upside down.

How nice...better refrain from further comment.
