Amazon’s record layoff plans this year have already drawn considerable attention, and the latest data shows that engineers at the organization faced a significant portion of the heat.

Nothing before next year, right?
Even today? I keep replaying the next round in my head and wondering when it's coming and how large it'll be and whether I'm actually going to make it through. The worry just hangs around because this place has for sure left a mark on everyone who had to live through all of it.
Tyson Foods plans to cut 1,761 jobs at its Amarillo beef-processing complex early next year as the company prepares to shut down an entire production shift, according to a notice filed with state regulators.

Layoffs are always done to boost stock price. This leadership can't even do that right, as our stock went down instead. Talk about miscalculating.
Layoffs will occur on the week of December 12. You're welcome.
Is this true or is somebody trolling?
Less than four months later, Tim Stejskal, CEO of organicgirl, announced they would be closing the Braga Fresh processing facility in Spreckels, resulting in the loss of 260 jobs.

I'd prefer severance.
Some people are mentioning December, any truth to that?
Apparently the board will sign off on budgets next week (Dec 2nd etc).
Should we expect more departures, or will they wait till the holiday season is over?
Anyone get a RIF package for the holidays? I know quite a few who actually want it, but they are hard to come by, not many people get the gift 🎁
If someone has received a RIF, what’s it look like in 2025, do they give you anything decent?
I'm sure all of us are so grateful that the company is doing so well and that nothing's wrong and that the leadership's competent and that we don't have to fear layoffs every single day or anything like that. This place is just amazing. Sarcasm, just in case it's not blatantly clear.
This management has relied on the same tired playbook for far too long, choosing layoffs as its only real method of improving numbers while pretending that constant cuts somehow count as strategy. They cycle through the same pattern every time, bringing in a handful of low-cost replacements to quiet the workload complaints and then returning to the exact behavior that created the mess, which has become the predictable HP way in every sense.
There’s never been a moment when Dell felt this off-course.
Never been a moment when they reached straight into people’s pockets
and acted like it was business as usual.
Never been a moment when they grabbed freedom with one hand
and shrugged with the other.
Never been a moment when trust evaporated this fast, or when the math showed the people always came last
while the profit columns kept climbing.
Never been
and somehow, here we are.
Today, the last few remaining engineers in ABU IT were stood down, following the end of their transition roles.
This brings to an end a horribly protracted period of uncertainty that started early in 2024 with McKinsey moving into 1TE to try and find ways for ABU to reduce costs, which than spiralled into one of the most disorganised and chaotic re-orgs many have ever witnessed. It finally ended with respected and talented veterans of the company not only being notified of their impending termination in June, but having to awkwardly serve out several months training their replacements in India.
Almost two years later from when rumours of layoffs began circulating in earnest, they are now complete.
ABU IT is now half of what it was, barely 50 people for a business unit that generates a third of the company’s revenue. A business unit that extracts the state’s natural resources for profit whilst seeking to give back as little as possible.
All that remains now of the IT teams that helped build two of Chevron’s most complex facilities are a handful of telecoms/PCN people, the skeletal remains of data and insights, some project managing paper-pushing types, digital core, and some of the most ineffectual and disengaged middle managers and hi-pots imaginable.
There is no longer a single software or data engineer in ABU.
Chevron are doomed to fail.
And so it begins!
A class-action lawsuit was filed against Thomas Jefferson University this week after the company announced it was laying off 1% of its workforce back in October.
The Philadelphia-based health care system had announced that the layoffs were because of "financial headwinds" and would impact 600 workers.

They don't value employees, and some of the tactics they're using to cut costs feel downright deceitful and unethical. If I could give them any advice, it would be to just put us out of our misery. These slow, constant layoffs where they keep cutting our best people are just torturous. If the plan is to ki-l the company, then get on with it instead of this slow, painful death march.
This scenario doesn’t apply at DXC because my salary won’t increase!! It goes to show how DXC is an outlier when it comes to rewarding employees.
On a salary of...
£ 35,000
You pay £6,280 in tax and national insurance each year.
By 2031, the OBR expects your salary to have risen to about £40,647, excluding any promotions or job changes, as wages rise roughly in line with the cost of living.
At that point, your annual tax bill will be £7,862. That's £1,581 more than you're currently paying, and £215 more than you would have paid if thresholds increased with inflation after 2028 as they were previously expected to.
Your effective personal tax rate is now 17.9%. It will have reached 19.3% by 2031.
If the thresholds hadn't been extended today, it would have reached 18.8%.

10,000+ Verizon Layoffs coming in 2026 due to the Frontier merger.
It is (not) done, by far.

What a surprise ? Not ! More barefaced lies and FUD from Alvind, Krabanaugh and the Pipmunks. But we all know that already. Whatever happened to Design Thinking ? It went out of fashion. We need new IBM buzzwords for putting a load of BS on Kramer.

How many staff employees were laid off in this latest cycle?
Predicted staff to be layed off in 2026?
What’s the morale at work at the moment? It appears that those laid off are rather silent at the moment…
I hate it but not because I hate being in the office but because of my commute, gas money and spending money on tolls that I can't avoid. I actually don't mind being in office for a few hours but I do know there is no "collaboration" going on lol. People go in, get their coffee then work for a bit and peace tf out.
My team is global and most are remote. Of my team, only 5 of us live in Texas and only one of my coworkers lives in Austin/RR. The rest are remote because they aren't in Austin/RR and there is no office to go to. The other two people on my team who go into office are in New Jersey and Virginia. I guarentee they aren't "collaborating" with each other lol. They are but it's via TEAMS.
I guess I'm failing to see or understand the logic behind the FIVE day in office RTO when Dell has always been a hybrid 3 days in, 2 at home company? It just doesn't make sense to me. They want us in daily but yet, claim to be flexible to our schedule and don't care how long we stay in office. Which means for many of us, it's a coffee badging experience lmfao.
I Do understand that dell wants the company to be more office centric rather than remote which, ok I kinda get that but, what about those who are full remote with no office to go into? THey are not eligible for promotion and in all honesty, the way Dell is heading, full remote employees I feel like are gonna be on the axing block sooner than later.
I mean, there isn't ANYBODY who is going to pick up their entire family, rip their kids away from their friends and school, simply to go to fkn RR to keep a job - all on their own dime... If Dell paid for reloaction then I think a solid 50% of remote employees would move, though.
Not sure if it’s just me, but my severance calculation and agreement show 2025 STI as $0. Does that mean I would not get STI in Q1? Or is it that 2025 STI isn’t part of the “severance” and is instead just paid out in the normal course of my compensation? I have received STI every year since I started at Verizon
I’ve worked for this company for many years. Loved my job, in fact. But since they’ve become he-l-bound on implementing AI, this whole company, their company values and all the processes that used to work so well have gone straight to he-l! The new systems do not work correctly. Employees that have given so much to ensure the absolute best quality and performance for this company and our customers are put on CAPs, due to the ones making millions choosing systems that do not work, and we get the blame. These overpaid fools couldn’t do these jobs to save their greedy souls! I am so ashamed to even work here now and am looking forward to getting out.
It seems odd that the other PayPal execs are around already, but Shankar is still not replaced. I mean, he's not doing any work, not showing up for anything, not talking to his teams, not setting a strategy or a direction or anything. So clearly HE knows he's out (fingers crossed that the rest of his posse are out as well.. first of all Vivek and his reports) But still, it would be nice to know which PayPal guy will oversee the next shift of 10+k jobs to India / contractors...
This is such a real and honest reflection, and it highlights something important on both sides. People who were laid off are grieving and processing a major life change. But many of those who stayed are also wrestling with very real guilt, anxiety, and fear about what comes next. It’s not that they don’t care—they often care deeply and just don’t know what to say, or how to show up without making it worse.
Staying while others leave is its own kind of burden: you’re watching teammates walk out the door while you’re trying to keep moving forward, wondering “why them and not me?” and “how long until the next round?” That tension can make people pull back and go quiet, not out of indifference, but out of overwhelm. It is easy to point the finger at those left behind.
I acknowledge being overwhelmed but for sure it is nothing like being out there looking for employment. My New Years wish with positive energy is that everyone obtains employment before March 2026!
I really appreciate that you’re holding space for all of that—cheering for those who survived and those impacted, even as you plan your own next steps. That perspective is leadership in action: honest about the pain, compassionate toward everyone involved, and focused on moving forward with integrity. We’re all navigating uncertainty from different places, but we’re still in this together—and we’ll get through it.

The company isn’t ruling out additional reductions across different functions over the next two years as it ramps up usage of the technology, according to people familiar with the matter. McKinsey is also closely assessing what tasks can be carried out by AI, the people said, declining to be identified as the details are private.

Any ideas?
Noticed some stores are not staying open as late this holiday season. Is that a sign they are on the chopping list? Seems to be quite a bit of overlap between that and the earlier closing stores, at least in the DMV.
DST was a sweatshop that stole the lives of many hoping to build a nice career there. Few employees were rewarded for their hard work. Most were ignored and strung along with a carrot dangling well in front of them. Although a public traded company, only the management made out well. Scammers1
Kroger is nothing without technology. The technology we design, build, and maintain is the reason this company can operate and make money.
It has been made obvious to us that our feedback means nothing. I don't know if anyone remembers when we used that "Slido" tool for anonymous feedback and by far the largest concern was that we do not support RTO.
Leadership is laying off our co-workers because of their own mistakes, pushing current employees further and further, and actively lying to us about the reason for these unpopular changes.
Tech unions are legal, and have happened before. And right now it is obvious that many of us have common ground at the same time and for the same reasons.
What, realistically, is stopping us from doing something about this? If they won't listen to our feedback, why shouldn't we force them to listen to our demands?
Not for long, I'm sure, but it's something.
Remember you’re all just a number & don’t be mad when we lay you off during the holiday season, it’s the corporate way here in the good old 🇺🇸!
Love your corporate (insert name here) CEO.
PS: I’ll be on vacation during the holidays at a tropical 🌴 location.
With Medicare advantage issues, are there layoffs within Medicare division?
