in one of Verizon’s big European countries today they operate in today they announced establishment of Employee form. Interesting cuts are coming by the sounds of that.

Why not go all the way? What's stopping us from going all out with buying them? I thought we had endless money to empower us to be a global force in entertainment. If we lose out on this, I see another cut so big the wound will never heal.

Republic National Distributing Company is implementing further layoffs. These cuts are occurring across the country. The distributor previously laid off over 1,700 employees last year. Those earlier cuts were due to shuttering California operations. RNDC has also experienced an exodus of suppliers recently.

Why are there so many rumors about reduced packages, or people not getting one at all? I haven't heard anything concrete. Is this just conjecture, or is there a real change coming?

Sorry to hear this for a lot of you.

With the sales comp plan meaning huge pay cuts for sales, will we at least be receiving COLAs this year?

I'd bet money that remotes are gonna start getting the heat sooner than later in regards to layoffs. Dell has made it abundantly clear that they want EVERYONE to be local to an office and there is no new remote job opportunities anymore.

Remotes have been getting hit during layoffs but I think they are gonna get hit a LOT harder, and frequently in the coming year(s)

New positions are not offered remote anymore. Remotes aren't eligible for promotions because ALL job movement REQUIRES you to be onsite now. For i8's and above, that's likely not an issue as they rarely ever get promoted anyways... but, I'd bet that bonus's and/or raises will either decrease or be non-existent for remotes soon enough, to force them to quit. Essentially forcing those i8s+ to quit as their job became a literal dead-end job (unless they relocate.) And since Dell doesn't assist with relocation...

My guess is they will start with the remotes who are below an i8 first, get rid of a lot of them, then will move up to i9 - i10s, then go after the Sr. Managers - whom most got knocked down to i10's last year anyways... Then move up to the director level. Or maybe it'll be the other way around; but if you are full remote, I'd be very cautious because you are slowly having a big red target painted on your back..

Point is that remotes are IMPO going to feel the brunt of layoffs going forward. I mean if Dell wants everyone to be in office then they have to start axing remotes eventually... I'm sure there will be exceptions but those will be few and far between and only reserved for those whom are VITAL to their org - execs, sr directors, VP's, and that's likely about it.

It's an hour commute for me to go to the office daily and it SU-KS! But I'm kinda glad I was forced to because I just have a feeling that remotes are going to start getting hit far more. Maybe not this year but it's coming 100%...

There will be cuts.

All roles are on the list for 2/19. Sales/clinical/office. No rhyme or reason other than saving dollars to shore up the failing bottom line for Wall Street. The irony is that the c suite is creating this constant downward spiral because of their failure to listen to the market and re-invent the business to stay relevant. History has seen this exact scenario play out time and time again in business. The ego’s and audacity of the current leadership to think “they will be different and make it work” is what every other leader in a failed organization thought as well. The real losers in their game are the low level workers and members.

With another reduction in fees within a year to the tune of $250 million, should we worry that some of those cuts will be compensated for with layoffs? I've been here a year and I absolutely love my job, so losing it so soon would be heartbreaking, to say the least.

Otherwise, we're just facing death by a thousand cuts. Too many people have been left jobless by leadership's bad decisions.

What exactly do they do ???? outside of milking $$

I’m hearing we are getting ready for cuts in time for fy27

I can only imagine how the people cut this week are feeling. The rest of us will probably spend it consumed with anxiety over next week. About which we still know almost nothing. What a way to treat people.

Q1 2026

People were cut across some businesses .. what have u guys heard? I saw and heard people where I am pushed out

I am reliably informed that Stevie is next in line to be laid off, he’s off to HP to accelerate their downfall. When 2 dumpster fires collide.

Are there any other rumors besides restaurants product for layoffs coming up? I feel like one is coming soon. It’s too quiet and it can’t only be that one department.

They just did it again last week but a smaller round and called it “cost cutting”. They just can’t help themselves. Post if you know more

It dipped again, with some post-close recovery. The positive earnings momentum lasted a grand total of one day.

I thought this might be from last year or year before but nope, just a copy paste

APAC cut few employees, and now starting to be recruited back. Why can’t they be on the same project to help restore knowledge?

People keep mentioning that layoffs are not only happening in Europe, but I haven't heard anything about cuts here so far. Can somebody share what's being hit?

Heard a rumor that budgets have been drastically cut and Technology is barely functional. Rats have started abandoning the ship too. Any truth to this?

It has been mentioned that layoffs will occur every other Thursday (Off-pay weeks), but someone said it was EVERY Thursday… I guess we will need to wait for later Today to confirm. Has someone been laid off Today in a pay week? Or out of those days?

Am I imagining this? Has the cost of eating the cafe gone up dramatically over the last year or so? It seems like my same lunch used to cost around 650-750 is now 10.50. I think the firm used to subsidize the cafe to keep the cost down. Wondering if they took away the subsidy as part of the cost cutting or to pay for the overly lavish Trailblazer cafe.

The Salem-Keizer school district plans further job reductions. It is Oregon's second-biggest school district. The district could eliminate 129 positions. These cuts are projected for the next year. The goal is to improve the district's financial health.

Amazon will lay off 2,198 workers in Washington state. Most affected employees are in Seattle and Bellevue.

These cuts primarily impact corporate tech roles. Separations are scheduled from April to June 2026.

https://futurism.com/nasa-staff-layoff-trump --- NASA is losing a lot of workers. Over 2,100 high level employees are leaving, many with important jobs in science, space flights, and support work. This is tied to government budget cuts that started under Trump. Many workers took buyout deals and left on purpose, but it still hurts NASA. A new budget plan for 2026 could cut about one quarter of NASA money. NASA used to be one of the best places to work in the government, but that is changing fast.

Forbes:

•   About 44% of employers plan to give uniform, across-the-board pay raises in 2026 instead of merit-based increases, a practice often called peanut butter raises, according to a Payscale report.
•   Average pay increase budgets are holding steady at about 3.5%, but nearly a third of companies plan to reduce raise budgets due to economic uncertainty and cost control concerns.
•   Employers cite criticism of merit-based pay as too subjective and biased, and say flat raises are simpler to administer and can better support low-wage workers facing inflation.
•   Economic conditions are a key driver: slower hiring, ongoing layoffs, and fears of recession have overtaken labor competition as the main factor shaping compensation decisions.
•   While many companies spread limited raises evenly, some still heavily reward top performers, such as Walmart boosting pay for top store managers to strengthen performance and culture.

Convinced him to buy failed companies and waste $ and do cuts

Hearing the BOD has booked out all conference rooms in the S&T floor at NYHQ for the entirety of this week- cuts coming rather soon?

I’m now being pressured to take on the work of another team that was let go when my own team was recently cut by more than 50%. I already can’t deal with the extra work left by the people who were let go on my team, let alone try to help another team in an area where I have no idea what they do. I feel bad they don’t have the people they need to do the work, but frankly, that’s not my problem and I can’t fix it for them. I’m so tired of these “leaders” laying people off and expecting us to just magically make up for it.

• Corporate IT and digital teams - Cuts reported across Corp IT, including ETO and AAD, with programs like Gene.AI shut down and entire US teams reduced.
• CIS and BPG units - CIS reportedly cut 36 roles, impacting whole US teams, while BPG saw scattered layoffs across groups.
• CTD Quotes team - The Quotes team in CTD was outsourced to Costa Rica, resulting in 14 layoffs.
• CSD and Europe - Layoffs extended into CSD and European teams, which some employees described as unexpected.
• Manufacturing site in Massachusetts - Thermo Fisher Scientific is closing its Franklin, MA plant, laying off 80 employees while relocating about 120 to other state facilities.

Good luck all. The C-level execs need new yachts I guess so sc--w the employees.

I didn't get the email this time around.
Are more cuts due this quarter?
What are people thinking?

I believe in an effort to reduce costs they have now sold the offices to another company.
Whilst the office space was always too large, despite grand plans from the management team, selling and reducing footprint certainly sounds like a desperate measure. At least that’s what our competitors are saying to the customers.
Mono sales and team shrinking due to strong competition, beginning of the end before someone buys them.
