#layoffs

Reading the investors call transcript.

The CFO said the plan is going as expected and that the company should save around $490–$550 million.

What that actually means. When this plan was talked about before (back in May 2025), it was tied to cutting about 1,600 jobs worldwide. Those savings are still being worked through now.

The “one-third” comment, the CFO also said they expect to see about a third of those savings this year. That suggests the cost-cutting and likely the job cuts linked to it is still ongoing, not something that’s already finished.

So expect more layoffs soon.

Q1 employees got there notice there last day is the 10 of February. Severance packages 1 week of pay for every year. Facility is closing and moving to Fort Worth.

How could the 20 year plus employees survive this round of layoffs…Director and Manager?
Good old boy network is still alive and thriving.

Hardworking, educated, younger employees did not get a fair shake, 20 plus years of corruption…shame on you Director and Manager!

There’s a chance the next round of layoffs may affect management roles in the coming weeks.

Just saw a news report that Aetna informed Hartford's mayor of layoffs affecting 300 remote employees. Cigna is laying off thousands, and there is no news at all!! Why?

The current layoffs are continuing at the employee level, and there is a possibility that management-level layoffs may occur in the next round.

Oracle has no public sense. Oracle twitter posting says:

The NVIDIA-OpenAI deal has zero impact on our financial relationship with OpenAI. We remain highly confident in OpenAI’s ability to raise funds and meet its commitments.

Are the layoffs still expected to happen next week?

Where are all the “JOBS” that Amazon promised would be available to the 16,000 they laid off this month? Where is all the “SUPPORT” they claimed they would provide us to find alternative jobs within Amazon? Where is the “…..WORLDS BEST EMPLOYER” support Amazon promised us? Why are all the jobs disappearing from the internal jobs site all the sudden?

This horrendous company, albeit they paid me great money and moved my family and I across the country, bait and switched me only to be laid off and unable to afford moving back to where I called home. So here I am, sitting in front of a laptop looking for non-existent jobs from hiring managers that fail to respond to a courtesy slack introducing myself and explaining why I am reaching out (basically that I’m about to be homeless) today. When they do respond back, why are they telling me the role has since been filled when it was JUST posted three days prior?! I am OVER qualified for positions I am applying for and STILL no response.

I have been with Amazon almost a year and a half. The most recent Forte landed me TT, as confirmed by receiving a copy of the letter of recommendation from my L8 supervisor. I have had three different L8 letter of recommendations sent to one specific hiring manager, whom responds back to them stating they will reach out, only to have zero interaction with said “hiring manager”.

I have been assured, multiple times from a reputable source, that I will be offered a role before the date ends, but how am I honestly sleep at night when I have yet to receive any communication. Do not think, for so much as a second, that I am an HV1/2 or even HV3, I have proof I am TT. If someone who is “valuable” to Amazon, why do they allow me to feel like that nasty urinal cake from the men’s room of a sleezy capital hill dive bar?

This is absolutely depressing to say the least, this company has me sitting here contemplating things nobody should ever have to contemplate. I truly feel like I am being buried alive with a plastic stir stick to breath from.

Wish I had someone to help, someone like myself as I help my team find jobs. Ironically, to which I have already landed 3 of my 7 direct reports with roles before their severance date ends. Meanwhile I will likely be unemployed come May since nobody is helping ME find a job. How’s that for “… WORLDS BEST EMPLOYER”?!

Posts on LinkedIn from affected workers and others at the company shed light on the cuts. Impacted employees include engineers, marketing managers, project managers, and others.

The thought of this spilling into next week makes me feel sick.

It dipped again, with some post-close recovery. The positive earnings momentum lasted a grand total of one day.

No rumors have come true. So no more please.

How do layoffs be here? Do we got anything in our power to prevent them or are they just random as he-l? Is there a way to know whether we on the layoff list to save ourselves before they happen? Does our manager know yet if we gonna get cut

ISR’s now make quotes for the channel, on top of all the KPI’s they increased on us.

“You’ll get paid sh-t, be happy, or you can go suffer the job market that’s had the highest layoffs since 2009.”

I've heard rumbling that the superhero event will be canceled this year. I have to say I have mixed feelings about it. While , it's great for those who are recognized, I'm sure it cost millions of dollars to throw a party for the few hundred people who get to go. Could jobs be saved instead?

Who will be impacted?
What departments?

I thought this might be from last year or year before but nope, just a copy paste

Designer Brands, owner of Designer Shoe Warehouse, confirmed that the company underwent layoffs last week.

The company did not answer questions regarding the number of employees or departments impacted. Designer Brands also did not comment on questions regarding whether employees were offered severance or other benefits, but did state that the company’s priority “is to support affected associates with the resources they need during this transition.”

My small team hasn't been hit yet. I'm a bit in the dark. But I'm seeing a lot of orgs getting hit, both here and overseas. I'm really sorry, everyone. It feels like we're in for some bad times. I wish the best of luck to those already let go.

Judging by the rumors, all orgs could be affected. Does anyone have any concrete details?

Rumbles of reorg and possible layoffs Any insight on this?

Maybe we think we're mentally prepared, and maybe many of us don't even like our jobs, but losing one still weighs heavy. And we all still need the paycheck. I hope everyone affected either has other options ready or gets lucky and finds a good job soon.

Any knowledge out there about what is happening with OptumRx? Any rumors about the status of the various pharmacy locations? There were stories at the end of December where they lost a significant amount of pharmacy business with CalPers moving to CVS. There were also other scattered stories about various states moving to other options for Medicaid. All that combined with an enrollment decline in ACA plans would seem like a big problem, but here it seems to be mostly Optum Health that is discussed.

The layoffs - which are expected to be permanent - were attributed to "operational changes in CVS Health Aetna's Small Group business segment," according to the letter. Layoffs will occur between early April and late July, according to the letter.

Yep no notice whatsoever, called me up and let me go without any warning. Sadly, I had a feeling I would get this from this company.

Is that too much to ask for?

I'm hearing some HCS were laid off today. Loads of DM. Any other roles?

Biggest surprise for me was the HCS, we can't keep our pharmacy open, but they fired the pharmacists? Our HCS used to be my pharmacy manager and she was one of the best pharmacists I've ever worked for. Why wouldn't they offer a step down? Same for DM, there are SM positions open.

This company is burning down. Get out while you can.

The company reported to Iowa WARN it will let go of 49 employees at the Wells Fargo West Des Moines campus on South Jordan Creek Parkway near Mills Civic Parkway. Those employees will clock out for the last time on April 4.

Multiple layoffs in different groups.

Any updates from the west coast?

Topping the list: not turning off your audible notification for Teams messages. Is the flashing box on your taskbar not enough to get your attention?

• Workday announced layoffs affecting about 2% of its workforce, mostly those in customer-service roles.
• The company said it's realigning resources while continuing to hire in strategic areas and locations.
• The cuts come as AI developments rattle software investors, with Workday shares down about 34% from a year ago.

Do you think there's a slim possibility of voluntary layoffs? It would be so much better than the fear of forced cuts. People who are ready to go could leave with dignity, and it might reduce the number of involuntary terminations.

By constantly cutting and piling on work, they're ensuring the employees left behind will have nothing left to give. That lack of engagement and energy will directly hurt the bottom line in the long run. They're trading tomorrow's success for today's spreadsheet. We're being run by id--ts.

Will there ever be a return to normal, stable operations? The constant upheaval of layoffs and reorgs is completely draining. I just want to do my job without weekly existential crises.

Why I feel so unnerve with Sampath’s leave, plus what Dan said at the earnings call :(

I'm lost. One person more says cuts are days away, another says weeks, another says it's over. Does anyone have concrete info? This confusion is almost worse than knowing for sure.
