#layoffs

Audacy has begun a new round of layoffs across its radio operations. The company is also implementing a new regional leadership structure. This new structure replaces traditional Market Managers with Regional Presidents and Vice Presidents. CEO Kelli Turner stated the changes aim to scale opportunities and drive revenue growth. Several employees across multiple cities have been affected by these organizational shifts.

Expect onshore, both FTE and Consultant, reductions now through June. Many TCS resources will be exchanged for MGCC employees. FTEs will be reduced through team consolidations. You will start to see movement soon.

Does anyone know the extent of layoffs that happened in the last few days? Was there any layoffs today also?

Different people are reporting differently. I’d appreciate if anyone has analyzed this and can share their findings. Someone is maintaining a running total from Slack (Thanks a ton!), and that says about 12,000 people were let go.

Terrible to hear about layoffs and see our coworkers let go. I hope this madness stops soon so we can focus on work. Tired of being on the edge for the last 6 months. Thanks!

Nike continues to optimize its workforce and rationalize programs. The company recently made a wave of tech layoffs this quarter. CFO Matthew Friend confirmed these actions on an earnings call. Nike incurred $230 million in severance costs for these cuts. These efforts aim to slash cloud costs and improve engineering performance.

T-Mobile announced another round of workforce reductions on Monday. The Bellevue telecommunications company did not specify the number of positions eliminated. This action aims to align its IT organization for future growth. The company previously cut 393 Washington jobs in February and 131 in October. T-Mobile recently completed a $4.4 billion acquisition of U.S. Cellular.

Is it possible that the upcoming summer internship program may be cancelled? I'm surprised it's continuing, considering recent layoffs. Do you think they'll be able to offer any FT positions after the internship ends, given layoffs and the economy?

Every company lays off employees. But I see so much hatred for Waters regarding Layoff and toxic work culture? Why ?

How are layoffs decided ? Is it case by case based on performance ?
Or entire teams get laid off ?

Oracle Corp. employees received layoff emails. These emails arrived on March 31. The communication stated their positions were eliminated. This action is part of a broader organizational change. The exact number of affected workers remains unknown.

Circle City Broadcasting completed its acquisition of WRTV on March 31. The company subsequently laid off a significant portion of the station's staff. Several WRTV reporters confirmed their last day was March 31 via social media posts. Circle City Broadcasting now owns three Indianapolis-area news stations. The Federal Communications Commission approved this acquisition despite typical ownership regulations.

ANY LAYOFFS IN THAT DEPARTMENT?

What is the typical package and what all does it entail?

Back to Reality.... Trump economy, War heading to " Over". Gas prices coming down. Stocks back in favor...Vz no execution.... honeymoon over, New External Execs sitting in group therapy saying how are we winning with DEI and no clue how to execute besides layoffs.

Listening to yesterdays call even if everything goes great over the next year where is the upside? Where's the growth coming from? Best case scenario sounds like incremental growth in na partners but dtc continues to "right size" and bleed out china will continue to take on water emea is lost. And news flash things are not going to go perfectly shipping will only get more complicated. it might take years for tariff relief to actually help the bottom line. our dear leader doesnt seem to think much of sportswear and especially not the swoosh. 20s incoming

Absolutely no governance, no scope control, constantly swapping quality of releases for quantity of how much they can squeeze in.

Senthil finally got a guy on his team who knew how to fix things. He documented all of the processes, identified break points and had built a coalition between product, engineering and test who agreed on the plan and were starting to fix things.

Gues what happened next (drum roll) Senthil decided to RIF the guy who was fixing the problems, the guy who could lower Salish’s blood pressure, the guy who could restore work life balance to engineers and testers.

No one is picking up the work. Hope is diminishing that T-Life will ever be a healthy team.

Don’t believe leadership when they say they care.

Well.. it is what it is. But it’s heart breaking to read the comments regarding laid off O employees and that they were cut from medical insurance and work after many years with just one cold e-mail. Employee that was planning serious surgery next month, a woman 30-week pregnant opened mailbox and suddenly her access was cut…. There are lots of stories where just
As I observe on Linkedin people really are getting ungry for this AI bullsh-ts published on Lnkdn, and are leaving the comments regarding yesterday and todays layoffs. People just got sick with that situation. It lacked basic human decency.

Were or will they be affected?
Does anyone know something?

BNY’s “Art of the Deal” has evolved into a single, elegant operating principle: if someone, somewhere, can do it cheaper, that’s where the work goes. Labor arbitrage — the classic corporate maneuver of shifting jobs to lower‑wage regions with “cost‑efficient” labor markets — has become less a strategy and more a reflex. Afterall, why invest in career development when you can invest in currency exchange rates with a more certain and predictable value?

In practice, it’s simple: move high‑cost work to lower‑cost countries, call it “global delivery optimization,” and hope no one notices that the new team is operating under labor standards last updated during the Bronze Age. The savings look great on paper, especially when you don’t include the footnote about quality, continuity, or the sudden disappearance of institutional knowledge from the U.S. Labor Economy.

Enter Eliza, the newest cost‑savings miracle and workplace discombobulator. It doesn’t sleep or complain, doesn’t have federal and state workplace rights or require WARN Act notifications, and confidently produces answers in mere milliseconds that are well… almost correct. Leadership calls it “innovation.” Employees call it “the algorithm that took my job and then asked me to validate its output.”

Meanwhile, ethical considerations pile up like cord wood and read like a stack of unread compliance emails:

• Job displacement disguised as “strategic realignment.”
• Meritocracy replaced by “who costs less per hour.”
• Career development reduced to “train your offshore replacement.”
• Labor standards outsourced to jurisdictions where “worker protections” are more of a suggestion.
• Cost vs. quality resolved by redefining quality as “good enough not to trigger a regulator.”

In the end, BNY’s labor‑arbitrage strategy and its ethical decision‑making exist in a kind of corporate parallel universe—technically adjacent, rarely intersecting. Our 240+ year old bank celebrates cost savings as strategic genius while quietly outsourcing not just jobs, but responsibility itself. Meanwhile, ethical considerations like job displacement, fair labor standards, career mobility, and the integrity of meritocracy are acknowledged only long enough to be converted into bullet points for an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) slide parked in the back of the deck.

In summary, if the spreadsheet says “cheaper,” the strategy says “approved,” and ethics becomes lost as a post‑decision branding exercise. It’s simply a system where cost wins, quality negotiates, and social responsibility waves politely from the parking lot.

Who has been RIF'd this round or over the last several months? I'll go first. I was in October...anyone else? Any whispers about what's next? First they combined DS/DM roles...then they added extra layers of Sales Help and Deal Desk...so they combined essentially four roles into one, no extra pay, less headcount, and now they are just shoving it all to AI?

Just like Umbro, Cole Haan, and Hurley. Converse will be sold.

Why has eip not been updated any for 2026? Is eip bonus going away?

Not an Oracle employee past or present, but in healthcare. Curious if the VA or health system clients were notified in advance of the layoffs and given assurances of a smooth transition. I've heard onsite staff were pulled immediately.

My bet is that the VA nor health systems were not told in advance and that reassurances haven't been issued.

Prove me wrong?

The VA EHRM rollout restarts this month, after a 2 year hiatus.

You also have to wonder about pipeline customers, how they are going to take this. My bet is that more will flee to Epic.

By being secretive and not spooking the shareholders on the depth of the layoffs -- 18%--is Oracle management being too cute by half?

By not filing WARN (over 50 employees at one location) or information under OWBPA (Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, which applies when employees over 40 years old are laid off) they are laying themselves wide open for a barrage of lawsuits.

NIKE is certified $40.00 stock.
Let's hope that it does not hit $30.00
Yesterday's news was so bad that seems like Wall Street got a surprise and they don't like surprises.
Seems like everyone is capitulating this stock and leaving with no support.
No one is valiant enough to step in and pull this Titanic from sinking.

There goes my 401k, I guess I will be a greeter in Walmart when I retire

Especially with this many people flooding the market all at once?

The layoff plan was finalised in France and it’s a massacre that targets mostly engineers and surprisingly not too many corporate functions. Even products that are supposedly in priority has not been spared and people with domain knowledge have been impacted. In my 18 years at Ansys, I have never come across such levels of insincerity and misdirection.

Stop misusing "fired" when you mean "laid off." "Fired" implies misconduct; "laid off" implies downsizing. Use these terms accurately to protect professional reputations.

with the stock prices hitting rock bottom, is there any way this company can be saved?
will there be any actual comeback or only setbacks?

Today VZ UK got an update. The impact is expected to be well over 100 people, but consultations will go well into May and maybe summer.. FR is beating around the bush, restructuring reasoning seems to be mixed up. might work against them (the firm, not employees). BE got an update last week, more than 50 people on the block, impacts expected May to June, probably sales and product will be the first to go. DE is still pulling its head out of its ar-e, no real updates, but then again we're talking about the country that still uses faxes and cash. i've got next to no work and sales has disappeared. all I can say is ALL ABOARD HERE COMES THE SEVERANCE EXPRESS!

Basically the title. How much are they giving in terms of medical/dental/vision and base pay?

Since this market closed on 3/31 I was wondering if they found jobs for the NCM’s and SW’s?

I worked at Q for 10.5 years. I have complained to HR about harassment from a colleague (not a manager). Seems like they did not investigate this. Last month they fired me along with other 45 IT people. Is it a retaliation?

Looks to be a well coordinated strategy to push earnings call to March 31. The drop in share prices is almost 15% now, wiping out any gains on ESPP.

This is as pathetic as it gets, no need to invest in ESPP going forward if this is how cheap this company is going to get to.

MF is literally MF.

More for UHC but I wanted to know if anyone else got the ridiculous email about the “ Executive Complaints” email regarding appeals. For those not in the know basically if a Governor, share holder, state person or anyone else in the top 1% have UHC we are to work the case IMMEDIATELY and push it through and prioritize it above all the other cases to have a decision made ( and approved and paid for by UHG) within 24 hours. Must be nice to make more money than more than half the people at the company and demand a strict 24 hour turn around time while the disabled patient who actually needs care gets denied chemo therapy and their hospital stay because the company decided “ it wasn’t necessary”
God I F$)):& hate this company

Select 30,000 employees with +200k annual salary = $6,000,000,000

"Grow up, get over it, baloney, you'll find another job!" Everyone's circumstances, obligations, etc., are very different. No one can know what someone might be facing in the news of a layoff or rebadge. If you disagree, say so, don't be a je-k about it.

Have the layoffs even been mentioned to those who were not affected ?

Question for those with visibility into the Oracle layoffs:

Given the scale of the reductions, why does it appear that very few M5s were impacted and almost no M6s or M7s were affected? The distribution across levels seems disproportionate.

Is that perception accurate, and if so, what explains it?

Daddy is setting the bar pretty high for junior.

Sounds like years in the making.

What does this mean in terms of greater company structure? Spinoff? Reorg? More jobs offshored?

I know everyone has their own opinions on wfh, hybrid and coffee swipers but this isn’t the post for opinions. A few people I know had been swiping then working from home and the manager was aware. They are now going in for the full 3 days but have not received anything from WPE. Are people only being fired at certain sites? Can anyone confirm this is happening in the GA or FL offices? I heard that one site had a major review and fired employees but is that confirmed?
