Marin County saw 16 layoffs, and San Francisco had 28 remote worker cuts. The company also affected 28 employees in San Diego County and 61 in Los Angeles. These reductions stem from declining "Fortnite" engagement and broader industry pressures.

John Deere plans to open two new U.S. manufacturing facilities. These sites in Indiana and North Carolina will create about 300 new jobs. This expansion follows thousands of layoffs at Deere's U.S. plants in recent years. The company recalled only 324 employees since January. Soft demand for farm equipment and tariffs continue to challenge the market.

This is a textbook execution of work turnover. You eliminate all of the talent. You leave a handful of your most vulnerable sheeple to say yes without friction. You proceed to turn over the work to the incoming team. Just another American company sending work overseas. But you may be surprised to know that you still hold all of the power. If you and the thousands of employees reading these posts simply stop buying their products and in turn ask the same of your other family members, extended families, friends, people at church, neighbors, etc., you might find yourself feeling less like a victim and more like an agent of change holding these companies accountable.

If we all just ignored the new RTO requirement. What could they do to all of us?

I have survived so, so many layoff rounds now, and the pattern is always the same. As soon as the last person from the previous round clears out their desk, someone in leadership starts floating the idea of another round. Can we actually have some time to do some work without having to simultaneously worry about our jobs, please?

Every year we hire a bunch of people. Every year we fire a bunch of people. Can we just pick a plan and stick with it for once.

Was lucky enough to get a new role before my WARN period ended and I was wondering if it’s a bad idea to update LinkedIn before getting it

Best of luck to you all living with this braindead bozo leadership. I won’t be coerced into “doing more with less”. You claim market based but don’t compensate market based. I’m done going above and beyond for a company that doesn’t even offer basic flexibility in return. Welcome to the world of 8 and skate. GFY! This ship is sinking, fast!

I would have been out of this place a year ago. But no luck so far. How many others are stuck just because they can't find anything else right now?

First Brands Group extended layoffs for 345 employees. The new separation date is May 31, 2026. This affects workers at its TMD Tiffin manufacturing facility. The company cited efforts to sell U.S. facilities for the delay. First Brands Group is currently under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

I've watched seven talented people quit in the last nine months. Another three are currently interviewing elsewhere. The company is bleeding experience every week. And yet they're still talking about another round of layoffs. At this rate, there won't be anyone left to fire.

The layoffs come from 14 departments and offices, with the highest numbers being laid off from the Office of Information Technology, Office of the Provost and Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center.

The San Francisco-based Academy of Sciences is cutting 53 positions. These reductions affect approximately 9.3% of its workforce. The institution faces a $7.3 million shortfall for 2025. Increased expenses, reduced tourism, and lower donations caused the strain. Program adjustments, like ending new planetarium shows, are also planned.

Too bad they dont have CS on the board of Microsoft so we can all get the Microsoft 365 reminder to "integrate copilot into your workday to prevent yourself from falling below 3 days a week!"

RTO has become AITO

Your notices go out May 1!

Mandatory voluntary compliance for AI user metrics...Now someone tell me AI is not a bubble

Converge. Sales Kick Off in Vegas. But I am hearing that layoffs will be third week of May which makes no sense at all to fly people to Vegas and then lay them off. But...NetApp has done crazier things...

Any chance somebody knows more about this? Whether it's true or not, among other things?

It’s quite unfortunate that there is no transparency in this organization. The Uniondale office has had rumors of its imminent closure for more than a year, yet no clear discussion. It’s the worst kept secret in the company. Hard working long term employees are waiting in angst to see where they will eventually end up-if at all-200 Park?? 240 G?? And when will the higher up’s finally give the little people the answer? There are many considerations for the mostly LI RESIDENTS- the cost of the LIRR, the extra time added to an already long day, child care, elder care, even pet care, but it seems like the “decision makers” don’t care. It used to be a terrific place to work, with talented and dedicated employees, yet some how these wonderful employees are falling by the wayside. I hope they Uniondale office gets some clarity soon, secrecy is certainly not a great way to conduct business.

I heard someone say this three years ago, but I didn't listen. I thought things might improve. Instead, they got worse. Now, I've been here five years too long. So let me say it to you now - if you can leave, leave. Take a pay cut if you have to. Move cities if you can. Just get out.

The Culture Week "pep rallies" and platitudes of how much this company cares about the culture and it's employees is nauseating, especially during a week when another round of layoffs is happening.

Anything new for upcoming layoffs? And what areas? Volume is down, people are being pulled to other areas to work and everyone is being micromanaged. What’s going on. It’s stressful enough here.

Is it true? Left recently, should've waited for the package....

My email is with a director I don’t report to and says “I’m setting time to touch base”. Anyone get a similar email? Also my team was hit already yesterday

EH is very less educated with a typical boomer mentality that technology is just made of fluffy.
He is not a strategic guy to understand that in tech driven world, although you don't need to be tech company but tech drives your competitive advantage.
These layoffs may save a dime before year-end but long term impacts on Nike's ability to compete against its competitors is eroding fast

Elevate Kevin Z and get rid of Alfonso he’s another Manon waiting to happen.

Were the playoffs that have happened so far this week Tech only?

It started for EMEA

Used to work at 2U and left post emergence from bankruptcy. Obviously, this thread used to be jumping quite a bit back in the day during the more caotic and turbulent times. Curious for anyone that still works there, how are things going? Is it still a sh-t show or have things gotten better with all the new leadership

Are the RIFs really expected to be worse than usual? There’s always some level of reduction in force, but a lot of what’s being said doesn’t seem grounded in anything concrete. It’s hard to imagine them cutting a third of OI or Health with so many active projects underway. I also haven’t heard anything from our controller or VP that would suggest cuts on that scale, nothing. I wonder if they pull names out of a hat…
