#layoff

Was part of the layoff and got the minimum 4 weeks severance. My final paycheck was today but it was a few hundred short than usual. With my understanding I thought 4 weeks severance meant 2 full pay periods.

Am I misunderstanding? This is how I had it in my notes:

Separation date is 11/12 and severance kicks in 11/13.

(I get early direct deposit 1 day early)

• Paycheck 11/5/25 - for pay period 10/20 - 11/2
• Paycheck 11/10/25 - for pay period 11/3 - 11/16, received this one early due final paycheck local regulations
• Paycheck 12/3/25 - for pay period 11/17 - 11/30, first 2 weeks of severance
• Paycheck 12/17/25 today - for pay period 12/1 - 12/14, last 2 weeks of severance

My manager just kinda informed us in a soft way that the budget is tight and layoffs are probably pending. She says that I am a corporate employee but I am working under a states plan. When layoffs happen, do corporate employees get cut too or that particular plan.

Psych! I hope Penny has a holiday season full of heartache, despair, and anxiety. She has caused the same for thousands of people. She deserves the same. So many people laid off and at EJ hate her.

Rumors have it that very few people took the VSP. Do anyone knows if there might be layoffs coming in early 2026 with the low oil price environment? What are you hearing from your end?

Sorry to the massive amount of I&C and remote workers impacted. Folks at PB ... if it hasn't happened today it will be tomorrow.

I'm noticing contractors are not being renewed. Is this just a year end hiatus ? Or the bank focusing on FTEs?

A significant indication that the Rochester Michigan PFIZER site that produces global supply of penicillin may be closing next year. Long time employees were logging into INDEED.com to start looking for a new job right away

I signed my papers November 7 and still haven’t received my severance payment. It’s past the 7 day revocation period and two pay cycles. Has anyone received their severance payment?

I’ve been hearing this date mentioned frequently. Can anyone confirm?

Hearing there are tech layoffs coming in January…

It will be a blood bath.

Recent research suggests equity markets are responding negatively to corporate layoff announcements, regardless of whether companies cite cost savings, AI-driven efficiency, or restructuring.

Firms announcing layoffs have underperformed the broader market and show weaker financial trends than peers, including higher debt and interest expense growth and slower profit growth. This has led investors to question whether layoffs reflect deeper operational pressures rather than productivity gains, even as broader corporate balance sheets remain relatively healthy

How do we prepare for a sudden layoff?

We lose access to company sites and contacts. What should we save?

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Do we have an idea of timing for this “leaner workforce”? Will it be slow throughout the year or a big hit in January?

With the new office opening in Minnesota, there are so many job openings making me wonder, is the company as good as people painted to be? Any ex Medtronic employees?

I know several were let go today, but the date we have all heard has been December 18th. Anyone know if more is to come on Thursday?

The stock is starting falling again. Why stop the bump 😤? Let lay off more to get it bump again.

PepsiCo is reportedly preparing for job cuts, with layoffs potentially announced as soon as this week. A key indicator is the company's instruction for employees in some major North American offices, including its headquarters, to work from home. These potential changes follow a memorandum from PepsiCo outlining initiatives to enhance shareholder value, focusing on organic revenue growth, productivity savings, and improved operating margins. These strategic shifts are widely interpreted as a response to activist investor Elliott Investment Management's demands for cost reduction and operational efficiencies. While no official layoffs have been announced, PepsiCo executives have used the term "right-sizing the workforce," which often refers to job eliminations.

I have a sinking feeling that a big layoff is coming to Splunk.

Looking back, it seems that fewer people were cut this year compared to recent ones. Yes, there were layoffs, but not as many as last and previous years. Curious if others are seeing the same thing.

Meat processor JBS is shutting down its Riverside packaging plant and laying off 374 workers, according to a notice filed with California’s Employment Development Department. The closure comes as tight cattle supplies have pushed beef prices to record highs this year.

AAR Corp has confirmed layoffs in its operations, though it hasn’t said how many workers were affected. The job cuts are tied to the Triad region in North Carolina.

Moderate layoffs will be coming in January. These are mostly intended as a layoff for low or moderate performers across marketing, product and engineering, not as a broad layoff due to business conditions.

There are no specific target numbers identified — it is primarily low performers, unmotivated people and those who are not on board with the company mission.

I can't understand the logic the leadership is using to choose who stays and who goes. They've let some really skilled people go recently for no clear reason. Some newer folks as well, who joined maybe a year or so ago. Their decisions just seem completely random.

Ford plans to hire 2,100 employees for the new iteration of the Glendale plant, and a company spokesperson said Monday that all those laid off will have the "opportunity to apply" for those new jobs.

Nothing where I’m at. But there have been a lot of rumors about more coming on Monday. I know we’re in this for the long haul, but I’d really like to know whether we’ll at least be left alone until the holidays are over.
