Michael Dell “donates” $6.2B gets put on some BS AI government review board by Trump and a call out to buy Dell stock. Stock rise by 14%.

Donny T invests several million into nvidia stock, announces to buy nvidia and Dell. Nvidia doesn’t get tariffed.

Jeff C gets $150M for laying off 60K people in 2 years increasing profit margins. They sc--wed 60K people for their own profit.

Now, the people that are left aren’t making more money, they’re working harder with less people to do more.

Meanwhile there’s nothing there from a product perspective. No products, nothing but corruption and hype.

These are vipers. Sub humans who do nothing but sc--w over people for their own benefit. They are the epitome of what is wrong in America.

BTW. Layoffs in June, July and August by these POS.

A big round of layoffs last week! A lot of good people who were loyal career employees were axed with zero empathy from leadership. With the abysmal combined ratio this company is running, you can expect more devastation to come! IMO this company is posturing to be sold or fold. Run for the hills, folks!

For all meta users who need support! Know all your CS tickets are being routes to AI. We are not looking at them only tagging them.

Will we at least get a few months to recover from all the stress?

Have there been any changes since the last time?

If you are impacted or know somebody who is, please drop your org and (if you know) years of service.

With all this good news being said about Lumen, why are raises for non-union employees not being given?

People are really on edge lately about the ranking/layoffs.
Employees look at each other as competitors as we walk around campus.
People feel compelled to speak up in meetings to state the obvious in an effort to show their knowledge.
It is really awkward.

What other stupid observations have you seen?

When are the ranking sessions? When are all ranking sessions completed?

The cuts amount to about 10% of the company's workforce.
Singapore-based workers were the first to learn their fate, with layoff emails arriving at 4 a.m. local time, according to Bloomberg. Employees in the U.K. and the U.S. were slated to be informed as their own mornings began. Meta asked North American employees to work from home Wednesday

This su-ks :(

Is there any one who hasn't received the severance agreement yet? I ask bcos a number of people have received it.

I am one of the impacted associates . Was promoted earlier this year then suddenly let go. Two weeks later, I’m still stuck in my room dealing with constant depression and anxiety.
How is everyone else coping with the sudden change . I clearly didn’t see this coming , falsely assume my rockstar status insulated me

Former Meta Dublin.. How have teams been affected? Any teams in particular hit?

Everyone has said that the 3 day requirement is rolling. If that’s the case and I take two weeks off can I only go in 1 day the week before I’m off and one day the week I come back?

When will we know when our IFP roles end? I thought we would find out today morning as WARN notice.

The next round of layoffs here at NetApp highlight a growing issue: leadership increasingly feels disconnected from reality. Too many decisions seem to come from a C-level bubble rather than from understanding employees and customers. Another concern is the number of VPs/SVPs coming from companies like Microsoft, Oracle, or Pure Storage. External experience is valuable, but NetApp shouldn’t become a copy of everywhere else. The company’s strength was always its own culture and people.

Are you kidding me, you show up to the town hall wearing skinny short pants and ankle top sneakers ?

I was just wondering if anyone has heard whether Accredo will also be impacted by the current layoffs at Cigna, or if that area is expected to remain stable for now.

There seems to be a lot of uncertainty, so I thought I would ask in case anyone has heard any updates or information being shared internally.

Hot Mess town hall today. Will he paint the org all rosy, as if we should be happy to be working under him? Will he conveniently skip over his big project to outsource all?

All the wellness messaging in the world doesn't mean much when people are stressed about possible layoffs. Nothing says healthy workplace culture quite like anxiety, rumors, and employees wondering if they are on the next list.

Former happy Cengager checking in to see what’s happening in Loserville.

Get out and let Cengage burn.

There is more money and better cultures out here.

Good luck

The leadership is hoping you will. They're hoping they'll get fewer people to do more. If you know what's good for you and all of your coworkers, you won't play into their hands.

Don’t give me all that double talk about needing a job and all.
You are grown human beings. You should be able to do something else, and clear yourself of this mess here.

Why do you keep doing the same thing every day, yet expecting a different result? At this point you are beyond being able to justify why you stay here to anyone or yourself.

Any idea when the next round is? This is a layoff blog,

Well well well looks like Devon bit off more than they could chew. 1 year salaries being offered to select groups in Houston to stay on in the Houston office because OKC can’t absorb it.

Honestly, I never thought the current Bank President would have such a devastating impact on USAA Bank’s culture, organization, and people leadership. I knew him when he was an ED, watched him move up through the ranks, and genuinely congratulated him when he was selected. At the time, I was happy for USAA because I believed he might help restore the culture many of us remember from before 2018, etc. I never imagined it would turn out like this.

Starbucks is laying off 300 corporate employees nationwide. This includes staff at regional offices in Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas. The cuts primarily affect marketing, human resources, and supply chain management. No coffeehouse employees will be impacted by these layoffs. These actions are part of ongoing efforts to cut costs and simplify operations.

Chicago

How did we get here?

I’ve worked in this industry for more than 35 years, and this is stunning. Employee exhaustion from perpetual cost-cutting cycles has become so normalized that people now seem to accept it as a fact of life.

I understand capitalism. I understand the need to make a profit. But at what point did we remove the human element from the workplace, all while increasing our use of slogans like "people first" and "we’re a family"?

We've became a sick society.

MassHire Lowell Career Center is not planning employee layoffs for its fiscal 2027 budget. Its positions are funded by state and grants, not the city budget. This contrasts with the city of Lowell, which has proposed significant employee layoffs. MassHire absorbed four full-time ARPA-funded positions into its operating budget. The center manages its budget through attrition, not filling vacancies, and leveraging grant funding.

all of the “It’s okay to not be okay, you’ve got a team who cares” emails…Pick a lane, either Own being a sweatshop or actually treat associates with respect and kindness.
At this point, it would not surprise me if they are creating a list of people who reach out to wellness for layoffs.

How does a risk and compliance manager who has no background in risk or compliance get hired in the 1st place?

Secondly, that very manager had to move from the BL she was hired to support due to complaints and has zero respect from anyone she interacts with because she lacks the very respect necessary to build relationships.

SHE HAS DRIVEN OUT 6 EMPLOYEES IN 2 YEARS!!!! YOU KEEP GIVING HER VICTIMS! How does she continue to be approved to harm another employee!?! When is enough enough? She is a liability to the company you are here to protect!

FIS is making fool of US based employees by providing Cloud Academy or Skill Builder etc.

The management has made clear that all the hiring will be done in India/ Philippines.

US based employees can spend time in learning, but they will never get chance to apply the gained knowledge.

FIS is providing this benefit, in case employees start class action that they were not provided growth opportunities. FIS will provide SkillBuilder / cloud Academy as cover to say that opportunities were provided

Anyone knows when are they gonna tell who's affected from EU teams? Last time it took up to 1 year depending country which is crazy and should be illegal

As CR stated, 75% of LR will be re-hired where needs are. True or baloney? Everyone getting four months salary with benefits, then COBRA? Exit date set to July 14?

Did team leaders announce send off and good luck meetings? Or a nice kick in rear, and message - have a nice day….

24 fired, 84 stays

If you are affected please post your org and years of service

Has T Rowe Price ever had a "corporate tent" at the Preakness race? If so, did they have one this year? Hiring cheap labor really opened the door for "leadership" to treat themselves right - VIP suites at Orioles and Ravens and waterfront harbor views. Paid lunches and dinners in Harbor East. Who knows what else. Must be nice.

Baldwin Wallace announced further program and staff cuts. The university will cease offering 35 academic programs. Ten faculty members face job elimination. These actions aim for financial stability amid declining enrollment. The university previously cut 35 positions.

Last sentence - Now is the time.

Now is the time to quit sending that garbage but, since they don't care about anyone here in the least, it will continue.
