The United Way of Central Maryland is experiencing a significant financial deficit of approximately $3 million. This shortfall has led to the layoff of 20 employees, representing 11% of its staff. The organization is also behind on distributing promised grant payments to local nonprofits. These delays are attributed to cash flow challenges and reduced pandemic-era funding. The nonprofit expects to resolve all outstanding payments by the end of the month.

I'm wondering when we'll shift back to growing the business instead of just cutting people. I know the answer is probably "never," but a guy can hope.

I keep hearing that future severance packages might get cut. Is that actually likely? The current terms seem reasonable to me.

I'm trying to find out if we're looking at cuts in August. Anyone hear anything?

I'm at my breaking point. We're constantly losing people, never getting replacements, and the work just keeps coming. It's starting to feel hopeless that things are ever going to improve.

Any information?

I know there were deep cuts of talented people even younger engineers. From my time there, I recall there were already many positions that hadn’t been back filled.

If you want to know who to let go first, just scan your team’s LinkedIn activity. The ones with zero meaningful deliverables yet constantly posting generic AI-generated slope are telling you everything you need to know. They’re not building value; they’re performing visibility. Cut them.

Any word on the scope of the cuts happening this week?

As we all know, the job market su-ks. If Verizon's objective is to get rid of the high paid workers, at some point will they just ask us to take a pay cut to keep our jobs. I know this will be an unpopular post, but its better to pay my bills at a lower salary than to get laid off and get nothing. Would you take say a 15% paycut?

Yes or no?

NA Pre Sales, my Q4 bonus is down over 60% Year over Year. Down well over 100% compared to prior fiscals. they work you to the bone. No raise in 4 years. What are other Q4 like?

The people that sit behind me were told to be prepared for an October notification. The impacted headcount would mirror the June surplus. No way to verify the accuracy of this report. My manager said she hasn't heard any speculation coming down. Anyone heard anything specific?

Expect layoffs August 3rd!

Any truth to this?

Just advice to decision makers lurking, cut directors that are useless instead of cutting low paid employees getting the job done…. There you go saved you some consultant fees.

RAP going away sounds like generic cost cutting to me. But losing all of your vacation at the end of the calendar year just means it’s far cheaper to lay people off in Q1 2027.

I’ve seen reports of layoffs. Do you know which teams are affected?

I understand October 2 is the last day for sales reps if they didn’t get a territory, if I have that right. Other than that what is the significance of October 2 for this company? What is the purpose of October 2, why not finish the year out? Thanksgiving and Christmas would be so close. That doesn’t even make sense!!
Is it a $ thing? Seems like there wouldn’t be enough people to work!! Who’s going to work all this? There’s only SO MUCH one person can do!!

Anyone getting any word on anymore layoffs....
