#layoffrumor

I’ve been hearing rumors of layoffs being planned before year‑end. Normally I wouldn’t worry about those kinds of rumors, but I’ve heard the same story from several completely unrelated sources now, and it’s starting to stress me out. If anyone has additional info (or can say with confidence that it’s not happening) I’d really appreciate you sharing it.

An acquaintance said he was asked to interview for his own position, but he already had something lined up and refused. He was one of the lucky ones who actually wanted to be cut. But is this something that happens? I don’t understand the point of it. I don’t see why he’d lie to me, but I honestly can’t figure out why they’d do that.

Am a new hire and trying to figure out if I should already start looking for another one. Any chatter today on lay offs ?

Rumors are swirling about the pending layoffs in store. I'm hoping that the cuts will not involve the customer service areas of our organization. If anything, we should be cutting the fat at the top. How many Market Presidents are there in the retail channel and what exact value do they bring? Our guy comes to Wisconsin, makes a big deal of his dinner plans and that's about all. As I said before - too much fat at the top.

Any truth to it? I don’t personally know anyone, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Is it over? How many people were hit? Which areas? Anything?

When is Verizon India likely to lay off its employees?

Any truth to the rumor posted here a few weeks ago that all freelance employees are being let go in one swoop? That can’t be true, can it?

Anyone know if there are going to be layoffs before Christmas?

My manager told me that another BIG round of layoffs is happening in mid Nov, approved by people very high up......And then again in Q1...... 66% in previous post was not a lie..... it will be the ultimate goal by Q2 2026...... Everyone should START LOOKING FOR JOBS. All the best

anyone hearing another round of layoffs before Thanksgiving ?

Word on the FIS layoff thread is that TSYS team members who are moving over there will be laid off this month.

Notification went out today to TSYS team members who will remain part of GP and will not move to FIS. Current legal entity is TSYS and that will shift to Global Payments.

I heard today that they will be closing stores by the end of the year…..hopefully not true

Of being canned!!

I believe it only impacts who has made good $ . not the real workforce.

Got a meeting invite at 3pm on a Friday at the end of November. Should I be worried??

Lol now Dave Shull is gone hahaha great job ruining Poly

Talked to two Grade 8’s - both in FI, who are extremely confident that there will be some sort of RIF this month, maybe 11/18. Sounds like a sizable cut.

Another person I used to work with in PI Phones, high up, confirmed. Anyone else hearing anything?

Of course it’s a rumor but…. Has anyone else heard of layoffs coming to the default world (Collections, Recovery, operations)? I have always had good connections here but I am relatively new. curious if someone else can validate what I heard. From what I heard there were going to be changes in Q1 2026 on top of what is happening now.

Scrum masters, chapters, squads are "retiring"

Wonder who's next on the chopping blocks.

November 18th doomsday clock seems still accurate.

Hey all. Be aware that I have on good on great authority that a small round of layoffs for HQ employees is planned. Gather your personal things discreetly of course before the week ends. Best wishes colleagues.

Run for your lives. More layoffs incoming.

Town hall seemed to say everyone is going to have a 1 on 1 with their manager this month to talk about their future. Surely wouldnt bother if there isn't bad news to break.

Also no merit increases again, su-k it up.

Has anyone gotten anymore recent updates on potential upcoming layoffs?

Let's crowdsource the next RA list for IBM. I will start:

I know for a fact some layoffs have already happened. Why isn’t anyone coming on here and giving details?

Someone talking about few key well known leaders are going to let go. Anyone knows more about it. Big guys names are in the talk. Share or if you hear anything about it.

Who is most at risk of being laid off? Is it based on salary typically or what is the criteria?

When do you guys think we will know lay-off numbers and timing? I am hearing >200 with over 80% of what’s left of The Woodlands office. Anyone else hearing differently?

I have this feeling I’m not long for my current position anymore if that happens. I work under John Blanchards org and we just had a layoff in August. I think I’m being paranoid but since Srini is taking over soon… I just don’t know. The market is brutal now and I’m job hugging like a motherf----r, I’m not ready to leave yet.

Has any C-Level exec ever been to the Atlanta office?

Seems like less people than normal already. Spoke to one of the cafeteria ladies and she agreed. Anyone else thinking the same?

Hearing from multiple sources that a layoff is planned for November 14th?
