#layoffs

Have all the NYC office employees scheduled to be laid off this week been notified?

This is a company that is slowly losing its identity. Rent-A-Center is now forcing their employees into becoming a Amazon drop off hub. This a desperation move to attempt new blood into Rent-A-Center. This means additional responsibilities for employees without any additional pay. So on top of begging clients to buy something, chasing after past due clients that just hide behind their doors, employees are expected to ship out a unrelated companies packages. Is it even Rent-A-Center anymore or just a company on life support?

I worked at Oracle for 15 years in a GBU run by complete clowns. I realized too late that half the people were completely incompetent and they were usually mgmt. so lately a former colleague who also left O years ago told me the stories of some people getting laid off. “He was checked out since 2012…..he was waiting for it for the last 14 years….he didn’t care at all…” “oh, so sad, she got laid off….shes been there so long….i mean…” the first guy, prob hero to most. I def understand it. Now the second person. She was there when I was there. She acted like big stuff. She got roles in cloud and she never even knew anything about cloud or app or even was in the trenches. How did she move up? She was buddy buddy with our horrible mgmt. then she got one of her buddies on the team. Both of them together couldn’t update any Oracle app on their own laptops. I told my former colleague, I have zero empathy for her getting laid off. If she thought the skills and job she did that a 10 yr old could do would last forever, she deserved it. Oracle is different than many companies. Mgmt su-ks and really there literally thousands of people who are hiding. They may have joined via some small company that Oracle took a liking to and purchased and then they’re this “techie”. They’re not. My last 2 managers, Walmart greeters had more technical know how than both of them. Both were a-holes. I have zero sympathy for these people that not only skated but treated people like sh-t as tons and tons of talent left cause of people like her and mgmt. good riddance.

Situation: Layoffs have been occurring almost continually globally for the past period, at least 8 years, possibly much longer. Yet we only here anecdotal information regarding details.
Idea: Instead of just posting here, alert any remaining local media sources in your region about what has happened. Maybe that has already been done. If so, post a link to the article here where others can share on social media. If not, tell the story and if the media is still well-funded enough, may be able to do some investigative reporting. The idea is to get a larger audience aware of the ongoing removal of employees.
Benefits:

• Increased possibilities of potential new employees thinking twice before joining
• raised awareness of retail investors who are chasing a dividend or turnaround,
• expanded visibility for current employees to what is actually happening in the environment (particularly remote employees who don't see their co-workers being walked out)
• Feel good effect by letting a broader audience know what the company is attempting to keep hidden

Which division under Baker Hughes would you say is the safest from layoffs?

Which division do you think will get hit the hardest?

The company as a whole seems to be in a downsizing strategy? Or do you see some areas with growth/increased hiring?

Once upon a time an employee
In management hogged his or her seat for almost decades.
In times like these , where the stock price is not moving and hovering around at a standstill, why is management still hogging their seats with over 3 years
. There should be a constant annual churn if you are not producing just like our top
Employees were let go in RIF. There has to be a specific management level RIF as well
.

I heard the Command Center and Help Desk departments were recently outsourced before the New Year? And now from seeing this site, it seems that a lot of departments are being slashed? Wow. How is this affecting the day to day operations with the app support and daily prod processing that was always deemed critical?

What you see in news is vastly exaggerated. Cost reduction target is 20% - achieved through head count reduction in high cost countries -us employees took the brunt.

That's it, that's the whole post

Suncor is Laying off people and keep outsourcing jobs to India. recently they hired over 100 people of HCl.

At the Pleasanton office. Every day I am surrounded by self-entitled D-Bags. These people really think they are better than everyone and look down at you. There are also many D-Bags at the Santa Clara office too. Hopefully with continued lay-offs at Pleasanton and Santa Clara Oracle gets rid of more of the D-Bags.

The RAA team is pushing AI as a blue chip goal. Do not be shocked if this leads to layoffs.

Nobody's exactly clinging to this place. A voluntary package would have takers, lots of them.

No surprises. Identical thing happened to Radio Shack, it’s like a rerun of a train wreck in slow motion.
Everyone thought it would be okay.
Didn’t turn out so well. Especially if you had a battery of the month club card. Not good.

I'm dreading the coming week. Losing the literal backbone of our team has made it impossible to keep up, and everyone around me is struggling too. Work was stressful before, now it's three times worse. And you know what happens if we don't perform? That becomes the excuse to cut us next. If results actually mattered, maybe they'd have thought harder about who they let walk.

Any hint at the date for this round?

I don't think either FIS or Cognizant, if I end up rebadged in the next round, will see any serious work from me.

Kyndryl has become top heavy. Each week, some new executive joins to “transform” and bring “thought leadership” while laying off highly technical hands on keyboard skills.

Came here to check for layoff updates, ran into this post. Bumping it up for visibility.

It's not even just Verizon anymore. I'm done, period. Been here too long. I can barely drag myself into the office these days. I need out. And I'm willing to take the risk in this market. I'll survive a few months, the big financial stuff is behind me. Mortgage done, kid almost done with school. I can afford to coast for a bit. Frankly, I never want to hear the name Verizon again after this.

I'm always worried about going back to work on Monday. Always wonder if this is the RIF week. I can't be the only person feeling this way.

For six long weeks, the air’s been thin,
A waiting game where no one wins.
From Calgary’s frost to the Houston heat,
The sound of shadows on every street.
We’ve scanned the halls and watched the clock,
Waiting for the final, heavy knock.
They speak of "assets," "reorgs," and "flow,"
But forget the people who made the thing go.
In Denver, the Woodlands, and Permian dust,
It’s hard to find a place left to trust.
The "sinking ship" is the story they tell,
While we’re the ones ringing the warning bell.
But listen close through the fog and the fear:
The value you hold isn’t what’s written here.
A title is ink, and a badge is just plastic,
The toll on your spirit has been truly drastic—
But you are the talent, the heart, and the spark,
You are the light that survives in the dark.
Tuesday will come, and Wednesday will go,
The dust will settle, the bitter winds blow.
But whether you’re staying or finding the gate,
You are the pilot, the master of fate.
This office is just a place where you stood,
It doesn’t define what is "great" or is "good."
So look at your neighbor, give 'em a hand,
Help each other find a place left to land.
The logo might fade, and the building might fall,
But your human spirit is bigger than it all.
There is life after Wednesday, a sky clear and wide,
And a much better world on the other side.

The team in Dearborn apparently held a meeting and believe that everything being done in California is mere smoke and mirrors, a dog and pony show. They have also questioned the cost-value relationship of skunkworks. Recently, some consultants visited and essentially stated that every innovation from the team was merely a rehash of ideas from other companies. They suggested that the internal team could have easily accomplished the same thing at a lower cost with more realistic assumptions resulting in higher return for the company.

The Bently Nevada division has already gone through multiple layoffs in 2026. It’s all about making sure the almighty EBITA is good and no longer focusing on making sure the client is being taken care of.

The sales team is shrinking without backfilling roles. When a rep leaves all of their clients and spread out under another sales rep. Increased responsibility with no increase in pay.

Technical Account Managers are being laid off without being replaced. The remaining Technical Account Managers are spread so thin that no one has the bandwidth to fully support the sales reps.

There are also less Sales Directors now. Instead of backfilling the roles reps are just spread out amount the other directors. Each Sales Director has too many reps to be responsible for now.

Quotas have been unrealistically increased and the bonus structure has become even more difficult to reach your 100% pay.

Company is trying to become a software company and has put all of its eggs into the “cordant” basket even though the hardware is the meat and butter of the business.

All of this happening despite the fact that we break record numbers in sales every year. Overall team morale is the lowest I have ever seen and I have been with the company many years now.

Finance notification dates below. Off payroll date depends on your State.

April 24 - Band 5
May 7 - Staff

Lists of folks have already been submitted.

Heard there is another round of consultant survey by Mars Company right now. And there are proposals of significant headcount right sizing. Any news about the target groups ?

I’m seeing an increase in LinkedIn posts of people leaving within the last week or so. Not just a couple here and there, but at least ten. Anyone hearing rumblings of anything?… just a coincidence perhaps?

Sewani. Oliveira. Sykes. Birrell. Flores. Your times up and no one will touch you.

March it was $215

Now it is $179.49

My non working period got over last month..but still didn't receive severance, anyone knows how many days does it take in Canada?

A superior brand of long ago - now dead

Group, I should have been more aware of my demise by reading this forum for the past couple of years. I should have put on my clown shoes a few years ago and sat on the plank of the dunk tank as you all would have saved the company at 10 quid a toss. Anyone out there have a good number to call HR so I can get my golden parachute? It's so tough to get an audience with someone who can help. Best regards, Bandy

We've hit the point where cutting your way to a higher stock price no longer works. The cracks are showing, reality is finally catching up.

From truly enjoying my work here years ago, to all the stress from waves of layoffs throughout the decline, now I've reached the point where I have no hope that Nike will ever again be a great company to work for, and I'm looking forward to being on the next list. I've been here too long to cut the cord easily, so the sooner they make that decision for me, the better.

Here’s our estimates on Walmart layoff activity for the next several months based on data we’ve collected. Some dates are specific and some are general. That’s due to business intelligence that either stands out, or, doesn’t stand out.

Here’s some facts that drive our estimates this time:

• April through August are traditionally high layoff times for Walmart
• Imbedded quiet days in April/May to allow for Q1 End, Q1 Reporting and Memorial Day.
• Project and budget reviews reveal considerable expense and capital saving opportunities do exist
• New capital projects to support AI are under consideration, including some eye popping infrastructure projects. All these projects will need to be funded
• There’s a considerable amount of tech outsourcing available (at favorable rates) to assume and run current systems
• Renewed focus on removing shadow IT projects and resources across the enterprise

Here’s our take on dates:

• [ ] 4/13 thru 4/28 increases to 70% likelihood of layoffs
• [ ] 5/6 thru 6/25 100% likelihood
• [ ] 6/30 thru 7/28 90% likelihood
• [ ] 8/4 thru 8/27 90% likelihood

Don’t agree? Tell us why.

In IL only 5 offices will be left. I cannot say which 5.
Customer Service has 3 waves, that will last to end of Q3.
All other states, likely main HQ will remain.
@dz+1knq4n7ym

AI is just the excuse they hide behind, ridiculous as it may sound.

Jon Freier, Mike Katz, Deanne King, Jeff Simon, and of course, that loser at the top of the company.

Make sure this article gets shared far and wide.

I received a Workday notification stating my total compensation is reduced by x amount.

Is this really happening

Are layoffs still happening this month?
