#layoffs

Trapp Technology (parent company of ArmorPoint) in Phoenix, AZ has laid off 9% of its workforce as it continues downsizing in efforts to buoy the struggling ArmorPoint line of services. Due to the continued rolling layoffs the company has discontinued its overnight support. The company has shed around 29% of its total workforce since 2024 through smaller staffing reductions.

Are you in Operations in the US or Canada, well expect your job to go overseas in 2026. Along with our friends from McKinsey, Ops leadership is making a BIG push to offshore Ops team members to our offices in the Philippines or to a new third party vendor in India. Yes, you heard it right, your years of commitment and hard work will be rewarded by giving your job to a third party vendor, all to save a buck. Looks like this will be a big shift with almost 70% of Operations team members in North America being impacted. Managers, SME's, skilled roles to call center and back office, doesn't matter. Going from thousands to only hundreds of team members remaining in the US.

So uh… heads up to the rest of the company when your new offshore “team” pulls up with zero idea what they’re doing. Good luck, I guess

I’ll get the ball rolling : 300 from non mfg and 200 from mfg axed.
Package not bad 25 mths but company can pull the plug anytime up to your departure date and have you stay.

Ok start gibbering !

Several of my colleagues have been laid off in finance and customer management

Rivian is converting a temporary furlough of production staff at its Illinois plant into permanent layoffs for 450 workers. The EV truck maker cited supply chain constraints and a strategic shift to prioritize the production of its newer, lower-cost R2 platform.

After the earnings call - you could see this coming- heard from some marketing folks that that theyre getting let go

Marketing teams working under their respective geos will be absorbed into WW E-Commerce on January 1st. Many are concerned with redundancy and eventual reduction in workforce. Not much else has been provided aside from this being a global change but layoffs seem probable by end of fiscal year.

There were more layoffs in the Data and AI org today. Lots of VPs and product team members were affected.

Our team just went through another round of layoffs recently and it has become routine at this point. Every few weeks a new team gets hit. These days, people spend more time wondering who is next than focusing on the work. I have been trying to stay calm, but the nonstop churn takes a toll. If I could, I would leave on my own.

RIFs have been taking place since the first week of Sept. Get with it.
Have there really been constant layoffs for the past few months? I haven't heard of anybody being cut since much earlier in the year. Yes, a lot of people are mentioning layoffs and we all know more is coming, but so far, it's yet to materialize.

Are we safe this month or is that too much to ask for? Does T usually have layoffs in December?

What’s up guys, PSTG is going to he-l?

Looks like the grinch is coming early, org getting hit this week.

Question was posed at this quarters fireside chat where Demchak essentially "hinted" that 5 day return to office will be required following a flowery rant about how while WFH "benefits employees" it "harms the company" and that he is trying to imagine a world where "he is asking you to do your job".

Good luck everyone in Pittsburgh, I would not plan on a cost of living adjustment or a commute benefit coming down the pipeline while Ol' Bill claims his 2026 stock award of the tens of millions.

My team lost 2 people today

I was thinking recently about a few folks who were cut last year and ended up landing on their feet in surprising ways. One started freelancing and now earns more with half the stress, and another moved abroad and rebuilt her whole routine. Knowing examples like that helps me see that losing a job is not the end of the road. Knowing full well I might be next, hearing about real wins keeps me grounded. Any sign that life can turn in a better direction helps right now.

Layoffs were set to begin Wednesday at a.i. solutions Inc.'s Huntsville operation, affecting 86 employees at the aerospace engineering firm's Research Park facility.

This must feel terrible for the ones recently let go due to ERP or layoffs.

Can't they wait for the holidays to be over

My entire team was cut after more than a decade with the company, and the way it was handled was brutal. I watched teammates vanish from slack one by one before anyone bothered to contact me. The call did not come until late in the afternoon, after hours of waiting and wondering. I envy those teams that got the news all at once, I wish that was us. The whole experience was a rough reminder of how little control we have during these decisions.

last day 2/20.... i have like 15k vesting 3/1... complete stab in the back.

I met him here before his 2023 layoff, and we ended up staying close even after he found a new job, only to get hit with another layoff six months later. He bounced back again and landed something new, and now he's been cut for the third time this week. He's living my greatest nightmare. How do you even deal with something like that? There's something deeply broken in the way this whole system works.

What is the news on staff reductions as the MRC/DNOW merger progresses?

✊ Key Reasons for Tech Unionization
Tech workers are increasingly turning to collective action to address several core issues:
• Job Security and Layoffs: Despite being highly profitable, the tech industry is prone to volatile labor markets, resulting in large-scale and often sudden layoffs. Unions are sought after as a safeguard for fairness, transparency, and long-term stability in a capricious industry.
• Burnout and Work-Life Balance: The "move fast" ethos of many tech companies often leads to extended work hours and burnout. Workers are unionizing to advocate for better work-life balance and reasonable working hours, challenging exploitative work conditions.
• Wages, Benefits, and Transparency: While some tech salaries are high, the industry features significant pay disparities and occupational segregation (e.g., between core employees and contractors). Unions work to improve compensation, ensure equal pay for equal work, and establish open and fair processes for promotions and pay decisions.
• Ethical and Social Issues: Unlike traditional labor movements focused solely on working conditions, 21st-century tech unionization is often driven by a desire for a voice in company decisions regarding ethics and the societal impact of their technology, such as the use of AI in surveillance, military projects, or other contracts.
*
• Workplace Democracy and Accountability: Unions provide a mechanism for workers to democratize the workplace, giving them a meaningful say in decisions that affect their daily work, and holding management accountable for issues like discrimination, harassment, and lack of diversity.
• Impact of AI and Automation: As companies deploy increasingly sophisticated AI-enhanced technologies for monitoring, evaluating, and potentially displacing workers, unions are seen as a powerful tool to ensure workers are included in the design and implementation of AI to protect their job quality and rights.
📈 Changing Perceptions
The old narrative of the "pampered tech worker" is eroding, leading many, including mid-career engineers, to reevaluate unions not as a hindrance to innovation, but as a necessary tool to establish fairness, transparency, and a sustainable work environment. Tech workers are realizing that their collective power is necessary to secure their rights and ensure their expertise is used for equitable and beneficial purposes.

The email subtly hints at more layoffs. It clearly states road ahead will be filled with confusion and what not. any thoughts? Or did everyone even get it?

I know that Verizon’s future success is the last thing on the mind of the people who have been laid off, but someone commented that layoffs and AI will help Verizon bounce back and become more competitive. I cannot let that go without an answer. That’s not the case at all. Layoffs are just short term financial engineering so the leadership can report lower labor costs during quarterly earnings.

VZ had voluntary and involuntary layoffs every year for the last 10 years. If layoffs made companies grow, VZ would be growing like crazy and the share price would reflect it.

Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor at Stanford Business School, had studied the available data and came to the conclusion that frequent layoffs hurt in the long run.

Any confirmation if managers got the okay to stell associates?

General Motors is laying off about 1,700 workers across manufacturing sites in Michigan and Ohio, as the auto giant adjusts to slowing demand for electric vehicles.

Pittsburgh office will be closing on January 14, 2026. Employees will be allowed to work from home.

I don’t know where it started but someone in the banking sector painted a picture with golden rainbow of return via AI. All the banks all jumped on board with such a claim so as to not be left out.

Well its not panned out for any of them at all. Now, to make the shareholders happy $ has to be found. It’ll be done by way of layoffs. The first quarter of next year for all banks will be a bloodbath. All banks that made AI promises will be passing out pink slips left and right.

given we have lifted the asset cap and are extremely profitable, one would think this years comp would be one of the best in a while, but from what I hear it's going to be one of the worst. Guess they need more money for severance and stock buy backs.

Those jokers just loved to deliver the matter of factly snarky message of “this is what’s best for Citi, we have to let you go” with such a smug look on their face. It’s time to replace those guys with AI. If there’s any test bed low hanging fruit group of people to run off, it’d be them. Trim the limbs off of that tree.

What use are they anyway. They don’t do anything but pass out busted links and direct you to a FAQ page that does not answer your questions. Let those guys go.

So systems will never get better check
Executives will not get cut
Bad decision makers will get bonuses
Hard working average employees will get riffed doesnt matter how hard you work. So this pig has got lipstick a dress and makeup & you all still brownnose. Theres no growth here or ever was its the same people holding the same titles and let me guess what religion is dan we always pick the worst times & worse people.p
