#layoff

I am hearing VZB tech layoff is April 26!

After Pabst Brewing Co. laid off as many as 70 employees, the San Antonio company is now facing a potential federal class-action lawsuit.

Ho ho ho!!!
Rumor is they'll cut deep, hard and fast in the failing Model E segment

Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) is laying off employees across Iowa, officials confirmed Thursday. The company says 4.7% of its Iowa workforce is affected, though it didn’t share exact numbers. IDT is headquartered in Coralville, and the timing of the layoffs is still unclear.

Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority has initiated RIFs. The Uncasville-based casino operator did not specify the number of employees affected. These layoffs are a cost-cutting measure projected to achieve $9 million in annual savings. The move follows continued net losses, despite higher fourth-quarter revenues. These reductions aim to optimize the company's cost structure and align staffing with strategic priorities amid weaker domestic resort segment results.

Pfizer is implementing significant layoffs in Switzerland as part of its global cost-cutting initiative. The pharmaceutical giant plans to reduce its Swiss workforce from approximately 300 to 70 staffers by the end of the year. This consolidation will result in about 230 job cuts, affecting 100s of employees. The company stated the moves are to streamline and realign resources, reduce complexity, and optimize work. These actions align with Pfizer's broader goal of realigning R&D, reducing administrative expenses, and optimizing manufacturing operations.

I’m hearing some talk on Distribution might be laying off next year. Which is now only a few weeks away. Anyone hearing this too or something similar?

Heard there was layoffs at Hertz LAX and some field support specialists. Any where layoffs are happening?

The 13k that were laid off is just the beginning. There will be more layoffs coming in 2026 which will include a lot of bottom line employees. This is why it is important for front line reps to unionized. Don’t let HR and higher management try buying your silence with free lunch and scare you with them constantly showing up to your store. The company is also going to be very strict when it comes to reps, managers and higher leadership selling with integrity. The company is focusing on customer satisfaction which means they will start firing people if they conduct themselves in gray area practices.

Until February...

Can someone explain how the notifications were handled? I’m hearing all kinds of different stories. Was it individual calls, a group meeting, or something else entirely? My team was spared and I'm still new here, so I don't know from experience how it's usually done.

Been hearing 12/24 as another possible LAYOFF date. Just wanted to make sure you all were aware. Got the news from my reliable source today, citing increasing market turmoil and the crash that is about to start.

Good luck everyone!

With the stock tumbling i don't see any way around than laying off more

It seems that there was a meeting yesterday between European Human Resources and the unions.
I imagine that the layoffs were discussed. Do you know if they have been announced in certain countries?
I haven't received any feedback in Austria.
Has anyone heard anything?

How many people got let go yesterday

Expect to see the recently reported forever layoff model. This is a persistent, all year method for layoffs where they happen in artisanal small batch format to prevent investors from getting alarmed.

Large companies do the showy layoff where they announce large layoffs then hire the same or greater number with h1b or offshore. Thus keeping the same headcount to keep from alarming investors.

Good luck with that. My manager is just writing people up to fire them with cause - and then replacing them with offshore labor.

Is this really happening?

I could not listen to the call with MA yesterday. Did he talk about layoffs in his board area?

Here I'm watching coworkers-folks who've shared laughs, powered through the toughest shifts, and had each other's backs-getting shown the door in these layoffs. But here it is, an ex- Kearl supervisor out here hawking job postings overseas, begging his "connections" abroad to apply. What a total sell-out! Dumping dedicated Canadians for cheaper foreign hires? This is betrayal at its finest.

Looks like I was on one email that was sent on behalf of Phil McKoy. Body of email says note 1 of 4 invites sent. Any reason to be concerned? Are layoffs or a reorg here?

I was laid off a few weeks ago, typically a very stressful blow to life in this economy and job market. When I got the news, the stress and anxiety drained from my body almost immediately leaving me with a sense of calm and relaxation I haven’t felt since 2022.

Did you get that email this morning too?
WTF...sounds like Hatchet Dan doesn't have a plan?
I would LOVE to send him my thoughts...but I need my severance pay! LOL

Anyone else required to do handoff work all the way through the 19th? So much for giving us time to look for another job.

I just wish they would let people volunteer to be let go with severance. I’ve been at TMO (Lvl 7 in a headquarters role) for 10 years. There are very limited opportunities to change roles and even fewer opportunities for advancement. At this point, I’m ready to cut my losses and try something different as I don’t want to be miserable the rest of my working life or worse, be let go when I’m older when the chances of retooling or finding something else will be more challenging. At this point, regardless if I’m an active employee or not, my attention will be spent finding alternative options.

Heard big news are going to be delivered most likely at the townhall next week. Anyone knows what’s coming down the pipe? More layoffs? Leadership changes? Sell of parts of business?

Is anyone else out there also a survivor of SA from execs at Robert Half? happened to me twice — 2009 and 2020 — both times by direct bosses. told my current manager and she literally just replied asking for more Jo’s. Forbes top employer.

Any updates regarding December lay offs at Freising site?

It looks like T-Mobile is also laying people off. Impacting managers and directors rather than ICs from what I can gather online but I have no direct knowledge.

It’s likely that the new CEOs at VZ and TMUS are engaged in a price war hence the cost cutting.

Heard some layoffs happened at SRO. What happened?

did the layoffs take place yet and how many were laid off ?

During a recent leadership call, T-Mobile’s new corporate team announced that major organizational changes would be implemented by mid-January. The message was delivered with an unusual emphasis on “emotional intelligence,” as leaders reminded employees to manage their feelings throughout the transition. To many on the call, this advice came across as tone-deaf—almost dismissive—especially given the real possibility that these changes could dramatically affect workers’ livelihoods at a time when the cost of living continues to rise.

For employees already feeling the strain of inflation, uncertainty, and demanding workloads, being told to focus on emotional intelligence felt like an indirect admission that little consideration was being given to their actual well-being. Several team members interpreted the message as a clear signal that T-Mobile’s leadership was more concerned with optics than with the human impact of their decisions.

Some employees openly expressed frustrations, stating that working for T-Mobile since the merger has “been the pits,” and that they no longer find joy or purpose in their roles. Morale, once a hallmark of the company’s culture, has eroded. What was once marketed as an energetic, people-first workplace has increasingly begun to feel, to many, like a corporate machine asking for more while giving less.

As January approaches, employees are left navigating an atmosphere of uncertainty—hoping for the best, but bracing for changes that may once again redefine not just their work, but their way of life.

Hoping Layoffs start back up again, 1st Quarter 2026 (March -April) timeframe.

I just got Met 1. Out of 7 on this week’s performance review and never had worse than 5 out of 7. The layoff is on.

No one at the rank and file level even seems to be aware of the cliff approaching in January. They just keep scurrying around like rats while the ship sinks. Amazing dissonance going on. 😂

Two members of my team, of the 4 that were kept, keep messaging me to help fix or document items I was holding together.

They have been loud about the fact they want me to return. To return as a contractor is that after the 6 month freeze?

The only way I'm leaving is with a package. I can wait you out evil company.

How great was that message from HR this week.
Are you RTO ready because expenses are going to change in 2026! So heres a free service to meet with a financial advisor (and tell him you're getting a pay cut bc your employer is forcing you back to the office and you need to figure out how to pay for the extra 600/month of commuting costs, plus meals and new wardrobe)

And they write it like we should be as excited as they are! lol

This is the weirdest layoff round I had to go through in my life, and I've been through more than a few. What the he-l is even happening? All we know is that some people are getting cut, but how many, where, when it will be done, or anything else is just wild guessing at this point. The. Fu-k.

The thought of near-certain severance is the only reason I am still here. Otherwise, I would have left long ago given the uncertainty and constant stress.
