Terms in platinum in Texas and maybe org wide including all mid markets. Announcement this week and term by the 1st

I know the paper work says up to 60 days from the time it's requested. Im just asking if that is the norm or is it usually faster from folks who have taken this option.

you can’t keep bringing in h1b workers and h1/l1 contractors, then turn around and lay off u.s. citizens and permanent residents in the same job profiles like nobody is going to notice.

maybe there is some legal explanation buried in the paperwork. maybe.

but from the outside, it looks pretty simple: replace domestic workers with visa-dependent labor, call it “restructuring,” and hope everyone is too tired or too scared to push back.

someone should be looking at this closely. not with another internal review. with subpoenas.

That are your thoughts?

Should I open a wager on PolyMarkets?

They shut down second shift. No one is talking. Can’t see this circus lasting much longer.

So, I was told two of my positions i interviewed for are no longer available. Just FYI, any one who was interviewing for a position prior to the restructuring will most likely get an email saying: due to business needs, this position is no longer available

The rumors have been floating around for weeks now that more is coming, but nothing official just yet. Has anyone heard a date or even a rough timeline for when the next round is supposed to start?

Best advice I got when I was laid off a few years ago was to treat job hunting like a full time job. Job hunt and interview for the full work day, but constrain it to work hours. Take breaks, meet people for lunch, and most importantly sign off at a reasonable time. Enjoy your evening best you can.

Bumping this from @b0+1kr24ryf6, more people should read it.

This doesn’t feel like isolated cuts anymore. It feels more like they’re opening and closing the faucet so they don’t flood the house all at once. But the flood still feels like the end goal, just delivered gradually enough that people get used to it.

Is there any advantage to informing HR about retirement plans ahead of time? With the possibility of layoffs and severance packages at Bank, I’m unsure whether I should let HR know that I’m planning to retire in July. I would also be eligible for a half-year bonus since I have 10+ years. Could notifying HR about my retirement plans affect my chances of being included in a layoff or receiving severance?

How long does your insurance last if you get laid off or quit? Until the end of the month or end of the current pay cycle.

Now comes the time where I’m challenged to “prove it in 30 different ways, name names and how you know with details all the while not revealing who you are”.

Believe me or not, don’t care either way.

I guess I should start packing my bags?

I know people hate the wait, but knowing something major is happening in July is much better than just coming into work one day and being served your walking papers.

Electrolux Consumer Products Inc. faces a WARN Act investigation. This concerns a potential mass layoff at its Anderson, South Carolina facility. On May 15, 2026, 1,139 employees were laid off. The federal WARN Act mandates 60 days' notice for such events. The investigation seeks to determine if Electrolux provided proper notice.

Belleville High School students protested district budget cuts on Friday morning. Approximately 100 students staged a walkout and rally. The Board of Education decided to lay off 29 staffers. These cuts are intended to address a $3 million deficit. Students expressed concern over losing teachers and mental health services.

And it's simple. I think they just need to free up budget to pay the three new ex-Microsoft ProdOps executives they just brought in.

I never confirmed nor signed up for COBRA yet somehow I am still getting billed for something. I was laid off here and wanted to just leave in peace but WTF is this company giving me more reasons to get angry?

Make sure you spend the entire amount you set up for your FSA account in 2026 before your end date. Oracle legally can't do a thing about it.

Is it paid out or not?

I remember having job security once upon a time. We switched to a constant threat of layoffs too easily. It bothers me how all of us just accept that this is normal, when it's anything but.

Has this delightful person left yet?

I'm the only person cut from my entire group, and when I asked my manager why, he couldn't give me an answer. He told me I was a top performer, that my skills were exactly what the project needed, and that the project itself is a priority. None of it adds up, and I don't understand why this happened.

Have older or remote employees been targeted by this large, company-wide layoff? Are there grounds to investigate this possibility?

Superintendent Priya Tahiliani announced upcoming layoffs. These affect Brockton Public Schools. Forty-three teachers union positions will be eliminated. These cuts are for the next school year.

Oracle has just scratched the surface with its 10% layoff and showed some positivity with its operational performance in layoff. Its operational performance is still weak.
Its trying to show the investors that it is high tech or growth stock. But it is not. Oracle has history of losses. Just market hype has increased and made it safe for now.
June earnings numbers will show it all

An internal corporate audit is in progress with new CFO and if she is really good there will be heavy cutdown of heads in upcoming qtr. Lots of products will be trashed.
Prepare for your best ... Jump the ship before its too late...

But I'm in a tough spot right now, and getting laid off would be devastating. I can't even think about looking elsewhere because life has been throwing one thing after another at me for months. The constant worry about work just makes everything worse. I'd love for things to be different, but they're not. I'm just hoping no big cuts happen until I get my head above water.

Please contact following if RIFed or transferred to Cognizant

Anyone out there RIF'd in November, but also happened to be retirement eligible? How was that handled?

Curious if anyone during any round of these layoffs did not take the severance and sign the separation agreement and if so, what happened and where do you stand now?

I got laid off in November. I genuinely thought as a senior manager I couldn’t find another job that pays a base salary that’s 190k unless I get super lucky at a tech company. But in sooooooo shocked and beyond greatful to God after 7 months of constant applications and rejections I landed a role that far surpassed my expectations both in comp and privilege. Don’t give up hope to those of you still looking. It’s so demoralizing - I know. So glad it all worked out.

FIS has been preserving the H1B visa employees.
The team had several layoff of US citizen and some were transferred to Cognizant, but all employees on work visa were left untouched.

Apparently FIS loves Indian origin employees
