#jobsecurity

Folks, the real problem is short-term thinking versus long-term vision. Under the guise of annual PDS reviews, promotions, and showing immediate business value, we’ve completely lost sight of the long-term consequences.

This BTC offshoring is just the beginning. They’re bringing in people willing to work for a meal a day, and that’s the standard they’re setting. Other companies will follow our mistake, creating a trap for everyone.

Don’t wait until your job is taken away—fight against outsourcing like it’s a national emergency. You might survive the next 5–20 years, but what about the next generation? They could be left with no opportunities.

We can’t compete against 500–600 million graduates willing to work for peanuts. This isn’t just a corporate decision—it’s a systemic issue on the scale of capitalism versus communism, world wars, or global epidemics. These global capability centers are designed to destroy livelihoods to boost profits and deliver short-term shareholder gains.

Wake up and act before it’s too late.

Is that definitely true? How many are in the immediate danger?

Watch out. More stealth layoffs in the pursuit of money. Iridium used to stand for something

Is it just me or are you starting to envy those who are leaving? I’m supposed to be relieved that I still have a job but…I’m not. Something is really wrong with the way they did this last layoff. A lot of old timers got the axe. This pension I’m hanging around for won’t be there, will it? It’s so clear to me now that I’m standing on quicksand.

I need this job. My family relies on me. I can't afford to lose it right now. The fact that I have a one in five chance to be laid off is nauseating. And to think this is all because they don't care about us and want to replace us with cheaper workers overseas. I just hope they realize sooner rather than later that cheaper is cheaper for a reason.

Suncor said they wouldn't touch their field staff. They did, firing engineers and all.

The past year I've been settled in cruising, super productive, high touch customer engagement activities that were directly tied to a revenue stream, 5 rating all around, visibility up to my VP. The thought of a RIF was the absolute further thing from my mind. And guess what, I got that 15 minute appointment scheduled in my calendar a few Monday's back, and it all ended. So for everyone left at Oracle thinking you're untouchable because of what you do, think twice. You/we really are just a number and when your time is up, someone up high will punch your ticket and you'll get that tap on the shoulder from your manager.

Word on the street is they want more critical right after the contract has been settled and the job security for no layoffs per merger, but they need their quotas for criticals that just went up ! Again dealing with this company there always a get one over on the worker clause

Not sure how some peoples in my team believe we are okay, are they delusional?

Customers keep asking me “when is this mall closing?” And “when will the sales start?” My coworker said that my store (Turtle Crossing in Columbus) is a top performing store but I get asked 10+ times if my store is closing. I have 5 children and 2 grand babies and 3 cats and a dog and a pig. I need my paycheck. I used to work at Sears, and then Jo-Ann Fabrics and Toys R Ys. I feel like a curse but I need my monies. Please tell me turtle crossing isn’t closing!

How does the process work?

According to a survey by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, nearly six-in-10 retirees (58%) retired sooner than planned. Among this group, 43% cited employment reasons such as job loss (16%), organizational changes (16%), job unhappiness (14%) and retirement buyout (9%).

Signed my intern return offer. Should I be concerned it may be resicended? Or I may be fired quickly out of school?

A lot of reps are nervous about what's coming in the future. A high percentage of job reqs were canceled. I am good with my numbers, but am still unsure of job security.

As we all know, Thomson Reuters does massive layoffs every year in November. If you got a really good review on your midyear review, can you assume that you’re safe this year? Has anyone ever heard of someone getting a great review during their mid year review but still finding themselves in the lay off list that year?

Union employees, if you get an offer, and decline, you are not guaranteed a job with Lumen.

Non union, if you get a job offer and decline, you lose your job.

Not trying to lose my job, but would also love to tell them how bad it’s gotten here.

Layoffs are ongoing until we're all gone

While I’m sadden to not have gotten a role in my selection, I have learned that in round 2 a job has been saved outside of being applied. It hurts to learn the favoritism of upper management to save those that didn’t actually apply to their roles…take that HR!

Had a recruiter ping me recently for a job with a "leading crypto" firm for grc work. Would be an 80k pay bump plus equity and full wfh. Too good to be true perhaps, but I'm doing my research.

What would you all do? I survived a few lay offs here but I know job security is not guaranteed anywhere; especially in crypto.

Instead of being laid off, I’m beginning to think my job may be phased out. I work remotely for AbleTo which was acquired by Optum a few years back. I won’t go into the many never ending changes but it continues to feel like we may not be around much longer. We recently received an email that are caseloads will be low for awhile while they negotiate new insurance contracts. In the meantime I went from 19 hours a week to 4. I do have another part time job but I need them both to pay the bills. My manager has no helpful information and above that is tight lipped and dismissive. I also love my clients and the work I do. Does anyone have any insight that could be helpful as to the future based on the overall reduction of work across my company? I’d appreciate any advice

What really gets me is that the entire f*g industry is in shambles. Everyone is laying off, restructuring, and slashing costs. In times like this, taking the voluntary option feels risky, and getting cut is even worse, because where are you supposed to find a new job?

Just imagine being laid off and having to deal with a job market that's incredibly hostile to employees. Yes, Chevron su-ks. It's not the company it once was. Working here is far from great. But at least you're working. A former coworker who was laid off more than six months ago is still unemployed. He'd trade any of you without thinking.

What do you think about the future at GPU design team that builds both integrated and discrete GPUs?
I always thought it is very safe. Does it change after yesterday's announcement?

As if numbers are all that matter. They’re not. Every single cut is someone’s livelihood, and it impacts their family too. I’m venting because I keep hearing people dismiss smaller rounds as if they don’t matter. They do. Whether it’s five or five hundred, all layoffs are worth reporting, worth talking about, and worth caring about.

I just wanted to provide my experience as someone who has been "ISPed." While I can appreciate the capability to look for a role (whether in Jones or outside) and get paid (something you probably wouldn't get anywhere else...which helps), from my perception things are literally a "free for all." So what I mean by that is everyone, whether ISP or not has probably been impacted. Moved to another location, new role, demotion, I've heard loss of pay in some instances, etc. So everyone is shell shocked to all fu-k and just not happy...period. Morale is a total sh-t show and people are still swirling in what the new world will look like so not much productivity seems to be happening.

So where I am going with all this is the people that are not ISP'ed are storming the gates for these new jobs and those that are ISP'ed are getting shut out. I cannot say any more than that but I truly wish all of you who are impacted the best. If you do have an opportunity to stay on then I hope you are treated with the respect you deserve.

Take care all and best wishes.

We are training it to do our jobs. At first it will help us be more efficient. Then we will be helping it to be more efficient.

Then we go bye bye.

Get affairs in order and start looking for other roles.

Stop at 75K or further reduction?

Hey folks,
There is a difference between anonymous and confidential.
People are being called out for their opinions on the survey.
Do not participate in Glint surveys anymore .
BTW... I’ve never had a face to face one on one. Another total waste of time.
The problem Nordstrom created...
No one is being trained... because they believe anyone can do your job, and you are disposable ... So we receive wages accordingly with no raises.
OBTW... inflation is crippling your loyal workers. The replacements for those skilled workers are people who should have never been hired, but are never trained.
You are not investing in your employees...
And treating them like....

How sc--wed are we now that DoorDash is taking over? I've only heard bad things but that's mostly about how the company treats its drivers. What about the rest of us? Is it just as bad? To say I'm nervous about this whole thing would be an understatement of the century.

Every time you even think about buying a house or starting a family there’s another round of layoffs or news of more outsourcing. I can't plan beyond tomorrow with the way things are right now. I would leave if I could, but jobs are scarce so I'm stuck. How are people with families dealing with this, I have no idea.

I work hard and my performance is really good. My peers and my manager agree on that. I don‘t do politics or engage in rumor-spreading. I trust the board and express this view publicly and in the Employee Survey.

There is no reason SAP should let me go.

I think I am safe.

If you do as I do, you should also be safe.

I don't want to be blindsided tomorrow.

… doesn’t exist anymore.

It is not a thing and it goes beyond HIH at this point. AI is the real disruptor and I’m seeing how this is already creeping into my tasks at an alarming rate

How many layoffs should we look forward to in the coming months and years? We used to have at least some job security, what happened to that???

Please don’t believe people who say this will be based on performance or value. We all know that’s not true. This is about numbers and nothing else. If your number’s in their sights, you’re gone even if you’re the most valuable and experienced person on your team. They don’t care. We’re all just numbers to them.

From what I’m seeing and hearing, Duncan manufacturing will be safe this year from layoffs.

The newest roll out seems innocuous enough on da surface, but be warned, MARLEY id an AI learning nodule! It tracks and learns from your every movement ! You are literally training your replacement!!!
