The Farmington School District faces a $330,000 budget deficit. The Department of Revenue Administration ordered the district to address this shortfall. The school board considers layoffs as a last resort after other expense reductions. A $30 million state SchoolCare program shortfall contributed to the district's payment. The Farmington Teachers Association plans to challenge any staff reductions.

Being employed is still better than job hunting while unemployed, so that's what I've been doing. The office has been chaotic for months, which means I can focus on what actually matters to me. Management's inability to manage through layoffs? Not my problem.

The Concord School District faces an $18 million budget deficit for fiscal year 2027. Salary and benefit increases, along with rising debt, contribute to this shortfall. State aid has significantly dropped due to increased property values and declining student enrollment. The district has approved $6.8 million in non-personnel reductions. Officials are now considering potential staff layoffs to balance the budget.

Took some work, but I got there. That also means I'm done trying to prove myself, going above and beyond, or giving this job anything beyond what my paycheck already covers. At this point, it's obvious that performance is the last thing that matters in layoff decisions. So no, I'm not ki-ling myself for the slim chance it might save my job.

A New Hampshire Senate committee heard a bill proposing executive pay freezes. The bill targets Coos County hospitals, specifically North County Healthcare (NCH). It would freeze executive pay and bonuses for 18 months after significant layoffs. Proponents argue for accountability of public Medicaid funds. Opponents claim the bill removes local control and could harm healthcare.

A new Georgia bill, SB 33, seeks to lower homeowner property taxes. This legislation restricts the growth of residential property values for tax calculations. School officials warn this could significantly reduce school district budgets. Many districts are already near their constitutional 20-mill tax rate cap. This could lead to teacher layoffs in some districts within a few years.

Another round of layoff today. Goodbye GoDaddy, your lack of good management did you dirty. RIP

Run! Yall need to find another job quickly. No one is safe. When your support services like facilities are being cut, you know there is a problem. RUN!!!!

How in the he-l are we supposed to make money for these people when they keep hacking and slashing? Not only did we not even get enough hours to run the store, they just cut 2/5 of our full time staff? And they think hiring team leads will make up for that?

I left Qualcomm back in January. The toxicity was just way too much, and I had to get out. I posted about my experience here a couple of times.

I started a new job two weeks later, and honestly, it’s such a breath of fresh air. People here aren't "warm and fuzzy" or anything, but they get the job done without all the drama. It’s nice to actually feel productive and professional again in a normal work environment.

The pay here is also higher.

Anyone heard that?

I've been working two separate roles at Nike, simultaneously. They let go one whole department last month for one of my positions. And they just offered me half the pay I was getting for my other position. I plan to make next week my last week.

Looks like T-Mobile will buy kinetic, and more layoffs coming. Uniti executives definitely securing their seats in he-l

Are they trying to get back to pre pandemic numbers in personnel?

If you have been let go, How old were you when you were laid off, and what was your years in service?

I worked doing UM review going on 5 years, but no contract no job. I decided to stay with company on a different team, WORSE mistake EVER! They allow managers to speak to their subordinates any way they want, I asked for additional training and was cussed out on teams, so not as if it was my personal phone, not once, but a total of four different times, spoke with HR at the company level, NOTHING was done, in fact I was made to feel like I was wrong for attempting to advocate for myself fell on deaf ears do I left and I’m happily employed by a different MCO with a pay raise, supportive environment, and just better in every way! Upsets me that I had five years seniority and to start over, but I’m much happier just disgusted that a reputable company like Anthem wants to preach an environment of inclusion and support for all, but when it came time to back up that philosophy they fell very, very short.

How can there be this many slackers still taking advantage of wfh? I hope the next series of cuts is purely for those that are not following policy. If management is serious about RTO, they should use their data to cleanly broom the folks that are not doing their part at this point and send a message. These cuts are long overdue. All of you real estate agents, photographers, off the books carpenters, and slackers in general could go and Ford would not miss a beat.

Everybody knows the abusers in their area - I personally like the analyst in our area that lives in a multi-million dollar house on the lake and comes into the office 2 days a week - Hey, she has a successful photography business to run!

I know layoffs happen, but Oracle has created a culture of fear and uncertainty that can't be ignored. Why put in extra effort when raises are like unicorns? Why work hard when promo's are nonexistent and dry most of the time? Why give 110% when there is a layoff target on your back no matter what your value to the company?

It's nauseating to live this way

I am a 20+ year vet and years ago I would happily recommend Oracle as a place to work...not so much now. I tell anyone who will listen to go somewhere else unless you are desperate. And if you do join, stay no longer than 3 years. There just isn't an upside.

Oracle is late to almost every technical advance and plays catch-up which is how we get where we are.

It's toxic and depressing to know you are coming into the cross hairs every 3-6 months.

What the he-l is the purpose of a golf ambassador? How much did this sponsorship cost and how many employees didn’t get raises or had their VC cut short because of this?

Does anyone know if Australia was already impacted in Mar/Apr?

The E&Y people are well trained to implant bureautic procedures and redundant controls so they can bill Citi for over-time meetings

Qualcomm employs over 52k with little or nothing to show for all that. Why do you guys need so many people to collect license royalties? Companies like Broadcom generate massive revenue/market-cap per employee. You guys are in the same space right?

So what is the problem with Qualcomm being in forever in the toilet?

Everyone is focused on the closures in Texas and Illinois offices, but Albuquerque’s situation is interesting. They closed one office within the last few months but shifted everyone to Alexander, does that mean Albuquerque is actually safe, or is that just a temporary pit stop?
