#layoff

Large cardboard boxes and some carts showed up this week at the Barnhart Call Center location in Hillsboro, OR. They have signs posted over the boxes designating each for e-waste, company equipment, donations of personal items, Wellsware, etc. They are set up in multiple hallways. This leads me to some questions:

1 - How long do we have until our 60-days notice now that these boxes have shown up? In that past when we had a remodel or reorganization of seating plan they showed up over a month beforehand.

2 - What do I do with the 2 company provided monitors I have at home? I take public transit to get to the office most of the time and taking them with me to the office for turn-in would be nearly impossible. I have to walk over a mile from the station to the office and there's no way I'm carrying them that distance.

3 - Do I have to ship my laptop back? Is there a way I can hand it over in-office?

4 - Should I start bringing my personal items from my cubicle home now? Will they ship those to us? If I get 60 days non-working notice will I still have access to the building to retrieve them? In the past when they terminated someone, 2 people were assigned to box up the personal items and they were shipped to them.

Thank you all in advance for sharing your advice and experiences

I was let go, and hardly made profit of 250k, everyone I know made millions already from stock profit, wish I could invest more in stocks. All the best to everyone. Wish cod make million and can easily retired. But that's life, can't complain much. It was indeed best time of my life. Xoxo.

They are laying off all onshore contractors and replacing them with offshore resources.

Not only did they announce a near 2 million dollar facelift in Round Rock the day after a mass layoff. They have now announced a 25 million dollar EXPANSION to RR. And its their initiative to hire financially challenged people 35% of the staff base they say....WTH so we will get even more unqualified people than we already do....When did it become lets hire to get our name out there in a good light vs hiring the right person for the job. Leadership is a JOKE at Dell, we are going to do this because XYZ company is. Just because someone else is doing it, doesn't mean its right. They are returning to their previous roots when they were nothing but box pushers. Heaven forbid you actually do something that is beneficial to the customer. They try to use AI and fall flat on their faces repeatedly. To me hard to sell people on AI when you can't even use it successfully in house...Their AI engine comes via Nvidia, again no development on Dells part, just push the product out the door. Someone with some brain please buy Dell...!!

Unfortunately I had some personal files on my laptop that are now lost as my system got switched off right away. I had copied over to a drive but since it was connected to the laptop when it shut down, the drive got encrypted as well.
Anyone knows if Oracle will be kind enough to give me a chance to recover my data? This su-ks more than being laid off honestly.

taking the deal and getting the fu-k out of the sinking ship or waiting for the ax?

Before you move to a new assignment in Midland remember that if the company fired you there they will not pay to love you to Houston. Nothing better than being fired in the middle of a downturn in west Texas! Your home value will plummet the same time you and everyone is fired. Do not do it bruh! Stay away from Midland at all costs.

Are we all done for this round? Or do we have more days of stress remaining?

They just implemented a plan for full time return to office 5 days a week for EVERY employee (including hybrid or remote)....or take the package and gone by Oct 31st...with more layoffs to come in November.

So many people retiring early! Are people leaving voluntarily or are they being forced out?

When companies talk about “transformation,” it usually sounds like innovation, growth, and opportunity. At Verizon, though, transformation has quietly turned into something else — a reshuffling of its workforce.

Over the past decade, Verizon’s headcount has dropped from about 135,000 employees in 2016 to just over 100,000 today. The cuts have come through layoffs, buyouts, and big outsourcing deals, like handing off IT operations to IBM or tech support to Infosys.

The people leaving aren’t random. It’s mostly long-tenured employees — the ones with higher salaries, pensions, and strong benefits. When they walk out, so does decades of knowledge and experience that helped keep the company running.

At the same time, Verizon is still hiring. New roles are opening in software, data science, and AI. Public filings show some of these jobs paying between $140,000 and $220,000. Younger engineers are coming in closer to $100,000 to $130,000. That’s good money, but it’s still far less than what many veterans were earning before being bought out.

The result is clear: Verizon isn’t just cutting jobs, it’s swapping its workforce. Higher-paid veterans are leaving, while newer, cheaper, or visa-sponsored hires step in. To Wall Street, this is packaged as “AI transformation” and “efficiency.” Inside the company, it looks a lot more like cost-cutting.

So is Verizon right to do this? On paper, the math makes sense. Lower costs protect the dividend, and pointing to new AI hires pleases investors. But on the human side, the risk is real. You can’t replace years of experience overnight. And if service quality slips or morale keeps falling, those costs will show up later.

Hey folks!
I got laid off in August with 21 other people, that I at least know of. Life Insurance guy just called to see if I want to continue the plan and he said I'm his 50th Target call today. What other areas is Target laying off from?

Does anyone know when the MDC Database organization will be affected by the layoffs?

is that a bug or a feature

28+ years of hard-work, dedication, respect for management , keeping Larry in prayers gone down with less than 2 minutes of a call with unknown je-k. Voila network disconnected in < 5 minutes. Was part of R&D. Wall Street reporters should makes noise on what's going on with the company Anyone here ! Mr. L has to support his 5/6 bride (Elephant is out of hat & you did not hear from me) !!

They clim our people are our biggest asset but they treat the them like cattle. Mgt is short sighted and clueless

Sep03 total layoffs estimate for the past 24h: 408.

North America contributed less than half and layoffs there trickled down and stop first half of the day. However, other locations picked up in IDC and Pacific timezones.

Totals since Sep02: 3838

Methodology: #general Slack channel participants tracking.

the return to office push is a quiet layoff.
during covid many companies massively overhired. now instead of cutting loose the talent, they’re quietly pressuring people back into offices under the guise of restoring culture.

here’s the real kicker. 73% of companies will require employees to be back in the office three or more days a week by the end of 2025. that’s nearly three quarters of businesses turning attendance into a subtle form of downsizing with no official layoffs... voila!

meanwhile employees are reminded that remote, which by the way consistently drives up retention and productivity, is on its way out. companies are reclaiming control of bodies, not necessarily delivering value… it’s a strategic squeeze, not a refocus. this isn’t about boosting performance instead it’s about trimming staff without triggering an hr mess.

and if you’re hearing more chatter about oh we want we’re an in office culture, then talking about your compensation, that my friend could be your warning. so if the execs insists you’re back 5 days a week or they’re dangling incentives for facetime, pause and ask urself: is this a culture reboot or just a quiet exit strategy.

Just look through the haze and fu-k them…

"Oracle Layoffs are intense.

• Entire orgs are getting blindsided.

Cloud, Comms/Marketing, Engineering, Ops, Sales
Directors, ICs, even SVPs - all levels.

Remote and in-office. Top performers. Doesn’t matter.
People with 7, 13, 18, 20+ years at Oracle… gone!!

I was told- If you got the email for saying 'Project Updates' - that’s the bait.

You join the call.
An HR rep read a statement.
Access cut within 5 minutes.
Laptop wiped. That’s it.

• Some management didn’t even know.
• RIF decisions weren’t made by your manager.
• Not even your manager’s manager.

People found out their reports were laid off AFTER the fact... then they got cut next.

SaaS execs were reportedly told:
“Cut 10–12% of workforce by end of year.”

And yes, I'm being told some H-1B workers are being impacted as well.

This morning:

• SVPs laid off
• Longtime employees ghosted by leadership
• 1/3 of some teams already gone"

==============================================================

Oracle stock down almost $20 in the last week.

Thank you.

Any idea on applying for oracle open positions after yesterday's layoff? Will they consider?

I got effected yesterday and planning to apply for Oracle open positions along with outside jobs.

Well… got my “organisational update” email in the calendar. Looks like that’s all she wrote. It’s been a wild ride but it’s time for a new chapter. Am going to miss all the great people who I’ve worked with. But I think I’m leaving at a time when it’s going to be no fun being at Dell. Swings and roundabouts. Hope Dell finds its way again.

Sep 02 layoffs estimate for the 24 hours: 3430 jobs lost

Methodology: $general slack channel participants count change. So those are people who lost access right away.

Insider, any word on when the next round of layoffs will be?

How the he-l do I even start a job search after two decades? I was convinced I'd retire here. I was given zero indications that I wasn't safe. I gave Oracle my all for so long and this is how they repay me.

Yea layoff are going around. 8/1/2025

Layoffs coming. Also some bs called harmony where peoples title gets knocked down a level or two.

Hello, has anyone in OCI been impacted by the most recent layoffs (09/02) ? Is today the last round for all of Oracle?

I keep telling myself to stop thinking about it, but I can’t. I’m scared for my job and what’s coming. Haven’t even told my family yet, I don’t want to put this weight on them too. I just hope somehow this ends okay, for me and for everyone who’s about to lose their job. Not feeling very optimistic, but I’m still hanging on to a bit of hope.

VP sends email to team stating working at Dell is a privilege. Work like your a$$ is on fire. He just laid off a team

Anyone have any idea about who will be targeted by the layoffs?

Can someone PLEASE confirm if Tracey was let go? I'm trying to find just one piece of good news related to Walgreens these days.

Today is 29 Aug 2025 and it Just ended (like a lot of other US employees) my 4 year journey at bp.

At this time i would like to thank the CEO, board members, EVPs, SVPs, and other members of the executive team for destroying careers of a lot of hardworking and people smarter then them. Also, thanks to the executive team for running this company to the ground and failing to own upto their mistakes or having any accountability for their decisions that has got the company to its current state. Additional thank you for continuing to collect your bonuses without any meaningful sacrifices while laying off workers with fraction of your salaries. You all must be very of yourselves for doing a tremendous job destroying the company value while destroying people's livelihoods. You all deserve bonus Energize points. Kudos!

What happens if you are laid off while on leave? How do they notify you?

Good luck everyone. I was part of the 1% who got laid off today. I was expecting a re-org but the layoff was very unexpected. I still believe in Nike, and hope to come back.

Are layoffs over or will there be more today?

Less than 1% will be cut.

Keep a close eye on your inbox.

At least for now, anyway.
