#layoffs

There's a bit of some odd astroturfing or something going on right before/after the layoffs? Not going to call on anyone here. Mental heath issues? Trolls?

Layoffs confirmed at the support office today, on the owned brand teams, over 10 individuals. Managers were not notified, employees got meetings on their calendars the night before. Terminated effective immediately... Any other teams affected?

Who all got affected?

Well the news is out…. Over 250 stores, directors, sr directors…all because someone “accidentally” sent the email out today instead of tomorrow

has anyone heard of any stores in california closing or turning indirect?

From another district and just got off a call these stores will be impacted and or going to indirect with options to either take the package or continue with indirect once fully transforms

Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago is outsourcing the entire helpdesk department to India. All of the American employees will be fired on September 1st and are currently training their Indian replacements.

Since all of the layoffs over the past 6-12 months, I’ve been actively applying for internal and external jobs. I finally got an interview internally, but I’m curious what are everyone’s opinions on what parts of the company would not be worth moving to? Thanks all, have a good week.

Has anyone heard anything about the older and tenured employees being offered severance if their age + tenure is over 60? I would gladly volunteer to go so that someone younger could keep their position.

Several have been communicated to today. The rest in the morning. Any word on what groups are impacted?

If you’re a Band 6 people leader in the CXO, you’re impacted. About 90% of Band 5 is impacted and already informed on Monday.

At this rate, I don’t have much hope for individual contributors. I also don’t know what Tanya is going to do with her VP, Digital Channels title.
Good luck everyone

How many were impacted and what areas

CEO said

‘If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease, and I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world.”

Regarding why we have not reduced the number of the personnel, it is true that our business has its ups and downs every few years, and of course, our ideal situation is to make a profit even in the low periods, return these profits to investors and maintain a high share price. I believe we should continue working toward this ideal. If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, however, employee morale will decrease, and I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world. I believe we can become profitable with the current business structure in consideration of exchange rate trends and popularization of our platforms in the future. We should of course cut unnecessary costs and pursue efficient business operations. I also know that some employers publicize their restructuring plan to improve their financial performance by letting a number of their employees go, but at Nintendo, employees make valuable contributions in their respective fields, so I believe that laying off a group of employees will not help to strengthen Nintendo’s business in the long run. Our current policy is to achieve favorable results by continuously cutting unnecessary expenses and increasing business efficiency. Thank you for listening

Anyone got any info on the employee survey or when it may come out? I want to see if they are brave enough to send it while the tons of folks they just surplussed are still on payroll or if they will bi--h out and send it after (i.e September or October before the next round of layoffs hit)

Given what's happened to spcx, smh, igv, smci, are we seeing the peeling off of the AI trade that now appears to have claimed ibm?

Heard there were many rounds over the last two weeks…

Also saw that a ton of internal team members got promoted at the same time 🙄

It often feels like employees with strong connections or managerial support receive more flexibility, while regular, hardworking employees are the ones most affected during layoffs. Performance should matter more than favoritism.

Just hearing from 4 Indiana stores that have been divested. Good luck to everyone out there!

A supervisor is already training contractors from India. She also included that December will be the last month for any remote employees left in the Mortgage Center. So we shall see.

will finance be affected in BR or LM? do we know what groups

Company wide reduction in force.

The rain didn't just fall in Houston; it came down like a personal insult, slicking the concrete of the Chevron headquarters with a greasy, iridescent sheen. Down in the lobby, the brass logo gleamed dull and indifferent under the fluorescent hum, a twin-peaked mountain of corporate ambition that felt more like a tombstone to the folks still trapped inside.

​Through the smoked glass of the executive suites, the silhouette of Chevron's big-money boss, Mike Wirth, cast a long, cold shadow. From up there, the employees on the ground didn't look like people. They looked like numbers on a spreadsheet that needed to be pruned.

​They call it "efficiency." They call it "optimization." But out here on the wet pavement, we know the real name for it. It's a slow-burn squeeze.

​The playbook was simple, pulled straight from the dusty drawer of every corporate hatchet man who ever wore a tailored suit. You don't fire people—not when you have to pay severance. You just make the air too thin to breathe. You mandate five days a week in the office, watch the commute times choke the life out of them, and strip away the little things until the desk feels like a cage. You let the pressure cook until they pack their cardboard boxes and walk out the door of their own free will.

​It was working. But the cost wasn't on the balance sheet.

​Walk the halls after 5:00 PM, and you could feel the exhaustion like a physical weight, thick enough to cut with a rusted butter kn--e. The coffee in the breakroom tasted like battery acid and broken promises. Morale hadn't just hit rock bottom; it had started digging.

​People who used to swap weekend plans in the hallways now just traded hollow, thousand-yard stares. Every meeting was a funeral march. Every email was a landmine. The whispers in the elevators weren't about projects or pipelines anymore—they were about escape routes.

​"How many years do you have left?"
"Is anyone hiring?"
"I can't take another reorganization."

​It was a complete mess. A beautifully manicured, multi-billion-dollar disaster.
​Up on the top floor, Wirth and his circle probably looked out at the rain-slicked city and smiled, counting the pennies saved on departed salaries. They thought they were clearing the decks. But down in the engine room, the people keeping the lights on were running on empty, their spirits washed down the storm drains along with the rest of the city's grit.

​The oil keeps pumping, and the dividends keep flowing. But in the dark, rainy night of Chevron’s soul, the tank is running bone dry.

Company’s market share will be cut in half fast

I just feel even tho stocks crashed, they will just keep us lol as I don't see any layoffs happened in recent years

All these leaders are jumping ship with a nice financial cushion to fall back on, while the rest of us are left waiting anxiously, wondering what’s next.

Is there any word if VBG Inside Sales will be impacted tomorrow?

The stock prices is down 2% YTD and most analysts expect very little upside. Also, with very high technology spending and in employee salaries, seems like we should expect a sizable layoffs in the near future. Thoughts?

Lenovo has confirmed layoffs within its US-based XR business unit. The company is transitioning its strategy from business-focused XR to a more consumer-oriented approach centered on AI-enabled wearables. This shift will integrate XR efforts into Motorola, aiming for a unified personal AI experience across devices. Lenovo's move reflects a broader industry trend of disinvesting from traditional VR/AR towards smart glasses and AI integration. The company's XR investments have not yielded expected returns, prompting this strategic pivot.

It's that simple, the current work force is broken. Good luck on the unemployment line.

Heard major surplus's in craft elimination of job titles, consolidation of job titles, 2nd & 3rd level managers cut out

Have there been anymore layoffs? Is T-Mobile still hiring developers? Is Data&AI still growing out and expanding or still contracting? What's the mood overall like in TMO?

Dallas has implemented mandatory furlough days for most city employees as a cost-saving measure to address a $30 million budget shortfall. This plan requires workers to take unpaid leave, impacting public access to services like libraries and City Hall. The city is facing financial strain due to increased overtime, lower sales tax revenue, and rising health expenses. While first responders are exempt, residents are experiencing inconvenience and questioning the city's financial management. City workers are concerned that these furloughs could foreshadow future layoffs if the financial situation does not improve.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is closing six facilities nationwide. This decision stems from significant staffing shortages and deteriorating infrastructure. Approximately 500 employees will be impacted by these closures. Some workers will face layoffs, while others will be offered transfers to different locations. The BOP cites a $4 billion deferred maintenance backlog as a major contributing factor.

Something is coming. Right before each transition or layoffs pass downs become a nightmare! Literally, they came in one day said don’t do x,y,z moves . After we did it the night before . So, next day we don’t and follow directions they come in and get upset we don’t do it after they asked us not to.
When this kind of bull starts happening and first shift and upper management starts losing their temper and minds something big is always on the way!

This is becoming quickly one of the worse places to work!

Morale is so bad
Coming in and making fuss after fuss over sometimes the directions they gave to do . Why would anyone want to do this to themselves?

This company especially this particular fab in Richardson is going to run everyone off!!!!!!

Ask questions before you start flying off the handle !

Especially if you are at the top be sure you’re setting the example!

Harris County departments are preparing for significant budget reductions as a deficit of up to $287 million looms. This marks the fifth consecutive year the county has faced a budget shortfall. The primary driver of the deficit is increased law enforcement salaries, which were implemented to match city pay scales. With limited options remaining, the county is now considering employee layoffs and position eliminations. Rising inflation costs for services like fleet management and technical support have further strained the budget.

As reported in the NYT this morning. Gail took full credit of course, but I could just envision her thinking “these RIF’s are working great! Gotta kick it into high gear”. Glad I retired a few months back and out of that stress.
