Received my walking papers. T-Life team / Kevin Lau org. Was told 400 people in Jeff Simon org being notified today.
Would they do that?
If ch 11 is filed is severance also gone?
"Join us for a live session to learn about professional production-grade software development via vibe coding."
Yes OTEX "leadership" really are that stupid.
They think Vibe coding with cheap replacements in India that do not understand the products will work.
What could possibly go wrong?
People that were laid off were lucky. They are no longer subjected to nonsense like this.
In the last five years, we went from nearly 120k employees to just under 90k. When is it going to stop? Is there a goal to reach or do they just plan to keep cutting indefinitely?
For those of you getting laid off, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am waiting for my time to come.
Are they sending out calendar items, or just contacting you out of the blue?
Also, it looks like India is getting hit...hard.
Same pattern, just email, no 1:1..
What the fcuk is this pattern.. when will next wave happens
The Plumas County Office of Education (PCOE) reviewed its second interim financial report. Teachers and librarians attended the meeting to discuss potential layoffs at Plumas Unified School District (PUSD). PCOE officials stated they cannot directly fund PUSD layoffs. However, PCOE could provide a temporary transfer loan to PUSD. One board member voted against approving the report due to ongoing layoff concerns.

Are the cuts over for now ? What about Emea ?
Title says it all. Exxon will not stop untill all engineering and research is done in India or even lower cost countries. There are several studies going on now that are looking at BTC capabilities and off shoring to India. The only jobs will be at the physical plants for operations. Everything else will be outsourced. We already have BTC engineers working at several plants in rotation. Look around and see the future. Costs saving are exxons future. The bottom line is the most important constant and nothing else matters.
Vanguard to hire 2k in India. I know the phrase right now is to "grow the workforce" but we all know what it is. Offshoring so they can get rid of American employees who cost more. And even if nobody gets cut here, to do this when so many people at home need a job is despicable. John Bogle is probably rolling in his grave.
Or are they doing it silent
I know of 2 people so far last week..any idea if this will keep going?
Higher pay?
Remote?
not AI first?
not using enough AI(Copilot)
I heard quiet layoffs hit Security and Webex during a reorg?
Any confirmations? Should a mid-level IC like myself be concerned?
It looks like we won’t have large scale KTD layoffs this year. The teams are struggling to keep up and hiring is ongoing. Also, by this time last year conversations were on for layoffs in August but this year its oddly silent
Watch for more RAs in Consulting very soon. . .

At IBM's consulting arm, the future isn't a slide deck or a strategy memo — it's a live dashboard where humans monitor the work of AI agents in real time.
Earlier this month, Mohamad Ali, senior vice president of IBM Consulting, walked Business Insider through the dashboard that the company both uses internally and recently released to clients.
"Every hour I can see what's going on with all the humans associated with digital workers," and vice versa, he said. "That is the new consulting model going forward."
The dashboard is known internally as "Consulting Advantage." The company unveiled it in 2024 to help its own consultants build and manage teams of AI agents. This January, it unveiled "Enterprise Advantage," a similar version of the platform for clients that allows them to build and manage AI agents at scale.
In recent years, the firm has made itself the testing ground for building and deploying digital workers as it prepares clients for a future defined by AI. Ali said the firm has digital staff working side by side with humans on more than 150 client engagements.
Take the example of a typical security operations center, he said. When an alert comes in, a human investigator would normally spend about 45 minutes combing through logs to figure out what went wrong and what to do next. At IBM, he said, that process is increasingly handled by AI.
Digital workers first "generate an investigation plan." Then they execute it in real time. Multiple agents tackle different parts of the problem simultaneously, passing tasks back and forth, he said. Then they run a risk analysis and produce a report. The process now takes just a couple of minutes. The findings are then passed back to a human — with key actions highlighted — and the human verifies it.
In January alone, IBM used this approach to complete 52,000 investigations, Ali said.
IBM has evolved dramatically from its early days as a maker of mainframe computers into a key player in the AI bo-m. The company said its generative AI department was valued at $12.5 billion during its fourth-quarter earnings call.
Its consulting department, especially, has seen an uptick due to demand for generative AI and services that help clients implement it. Consulting revenue for 2025 came in at over $21 billion, up from about $20.7 billion in 2024.
IBM Consulting has been around for decades. The company acquired PwC's consulting arm in 2002. PwC would later rebuild its consulting business after a five-year noncompete clause expired.
IBM Consulting now employs about 150,000 employees and says its work overlaps with the Big Four and more technology-focused firms like Accenture.
"We don't do, like, what markets you should be in," Ali said. "We do strategy around 'how do you take your corporate strategy and implement it?'"
And right now, he said, there's a big question in corporate strategy: How do you prepare for a world where humans work alongside AI agents?
If you are over 40 years old (in the US) you will have 21 days to evaluate the severance once it is presented you. Based on previous layoffs, it would appear Synopsys is paying at least 60 days of regular salary and benefits, in lieu of a WARN notice. It seems like this is case of gross incompetence combined with a lack of empathy on the part of the management.
OP: @a8+1kmdssyv8
Putting this info here so it doesn't get lost in replies. Apparently severance details come at a later date. Because why give people clarity when you can leave them hanging? Very inconsiderate.
IT SVP "Chay Chinsethagid" is asked to leave H&P as part of Re-org in March 2026.
Kane Ramasamy who is IT Senior director, let go from the Service in March 2026, Several other individuals also impacted by recent layoffs after the new President took the charge.
Frankly, I didn't know it would feel this good. I was sick of the job and the constant anticipation. I have something lined up. Not certain, so who knows. But I don't care right now. Thanks to all the good people I worked with. I wish you all the best. Sincerely hope only people like me, the ones who wanted out, end up impacted.
Good luck to everyone.
The only thing I've figured is that non-customer-facing roles will get hit hardest, especially compliance and data analysis. Anyone know more?
Veteran. High performer. Unique skillset. None of it matters. It's about the money. Skill and experience cost more, so they'll keep the slacker and cut the person who actually knows what they're doing. Meaning all that hard work you put in? That was for you. This company was never going to appreciate it.
Sudden layoff. No notice . Said organizational changes
Layoffs at Meta last year allegedly targeted older workers at higher rates, according to a new lawsuit. Former Meta Senior Director of Monetization Analytics, Nicolas Franchet, who worked at the company for 13 years, claims he was unfairly laid off because of his age.

I still think about a meeting where they told us we were crushing our goals. The vibe was good, people were relaxed, and it actually felt like things were going right for a change. Then a week later, half the team was gone. It’s hard to believe anything they say after something like that.
I swear I'm so over this place. It's better being laid off than having layoffs every few months. It's wracking our mental health. It seems like it's never enough anymore. There's always a need to cut even more people. I'm not sure I can last in such an environment for much longer.
