There was a round last January. Will there be another round this month?

Illumina is the place to be if you want to aspire to their lousy leadership who will chop heads at the drop of a hat to save their own skin

So just got a message on LinkedIn requesting interview questions to fill jobs in supply chain. Sure, I will provide this so you can interview ans then lay me off! So toxic!!

Illumina is the place to be if you prefer: to always worry about getting laid off to see people get laid off while management increases the workload for people who don’t get laid off that management yells at you for not keeping up with the... — read more 

What that may mean for the rest of us? Cuts have had the major reorg scope. It must affect other operations as well. Or at least it may be pointing towards some major changes coming in the other areas. Probably none of them would be good for us... — read more 

I see that mainly Europe Marketing was affected (quite a bit, it seems). Anything going on in the US?

Rumors put together imply quite a number of people being laid off. Europe is also hit. Any clue as to how long this may last, and if any areas are safe?

Anyone know anything? I heard about a PM director being cut.

I think folks that are undergoing a leadership change are at risk for a RIF. R&D is probably safe. There are way too many Directors here some with only 1 report. The org will be more flat going forward. In all honesty, there is some fat in this... — read more 

Anyone transfer departments? Engineer looking to transfer to another engineering role. Is it worth going through the trouble at this company, generally speaking?

Does anyone know how would this potentially affect our Illumina stock? Poll: Are you holding or selling your Illumina stock?

Anyone hear any rumors? Earnings call is later today…

Does anyone know how long they are waiting to get their severance package? Getting close to my 30 days after signing the agreement.

More leaving

Seems that the annual equity grant is skipping a cycle and no one will get any additional RSU grants this year. Clearly all happening in secret/stealth, not exactly demonstrating the values of “We are Open” and curiously timed after the iPulse has... — read more 

It'll be a bit sickening if everything is coming up roses

I would say this one - https://youtu.be/RyTQ5-SQYTo?si=Hro6ygiNNwCh6chu

For groups not impacted this month? Maybe as part of the next chapter?

Maybe once Friday is done I will, but until then, my guard is still up.

Alex has ben saying this for months: Illumina should and probably will divest the array business. How likely do you think that actually is? At some point arrays will be gone, that is for sure, but I thought that would be years from now...

I was afraid there'd be more cuts today, but I think we can say with certainty now that it's over. At least for this round. We all know it's never fully over when it comes to cuts at Illumina.

Private equity to save the day of Fortune 100 to acquire…. I’ll let you guess so my post doesn’t get whacked.

Or are those people safe?

Why are we always losing some of our most experienced and knowledgeable employees to layoffs? Even if some of the managers at Illumina aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, I find it hard to believe they'd intentionally let go of their best... — read more 

Employees who were recently publicly commended by management for 20 years of service are gone. Loyalty is a one way street at Illumina.

Are we done? Any news? Does anybody know how many people might end up being RIFed?

100 hardworking PEOPLE lost their jobs today…and we still haven’t received an apology from leadership (current and past) for the Grail disaster. This company views people as expendable pawns, and it’s clear they don’t know how to forecast properly... — read more 

so sorry to everyone impacted today. leadership keeps blaming macroeconomic forces, but these dont seem to have changed since 2022. once covid ended we should predict normal global events. Cause these macroeconomic forces arent ever going to... — read more 

Just looked at WARN notices in California and Illumina didn't have any for 2024. I thought they had to give 60 days notice before giving the employee notice?

Happily laid off today
