#layoffs

April through August are traditionally high layoff months for Walmart. Look at the data. They’ll lay off more before the end of August.

Waiting is the hardest. This is torture. Let people know now, now that it’s out there!! and what is out is from June July August and Sept. then what? Ki-ling the summer and then what…..the holidays? Knowing now is more humane than later. People need to plan.

Maybe not fully ready for the first 2-3yrs for mass migration but it’s coming. And at the very least, we’ll likely lose FN. And that will lead to mass layoffs as Johnboy takes it out on us.

coming soon. bye felecia.

Now that the year is over, are JNPRs going to be laid off or have their comp lowered? It was hands off for the first year only, then HPE can run riot in headcount if they want.

Did the 6/15 surplus notice mainly target virtuals or those in hubs equally impacted? Did being in a hub such as Dallas provide any meaningful protection?

What is the latest status on virtuals? Also is everyone in the clear until the new Plano HQ opens? What happens once the Plano HQ opens? Are relocation notices going to increase then?

Does anyone know if this is actually happening and how big it is?

Well, partner… I knew somethin’ was driftin’ my way the moment I walked into Dell Tthat mornin’. The air felt different—like the quiet before a desert storm. Folks were lookin’ at me with that soft, sympathetic smile people give a man who’s about to hear somethin’ he ain’t gonna like.
I sat down, opened my laptop, and before I could even take a sip of my coffee—ding.
A meeting invite.
HR.
Mandatory.
Immediate.
That’s the corporate version of a tumbleweed rollin’ across your path.

I walked into that little conference room, and there they were: HR lady with her practiced gentle voice, my manager lookin’ like he’d spent the night thinkin’ about how to break bad news without breakin’ my spirit.

She said, “We’re restructuring the organization.”

I tipped my head, smiled a little. “Well ma’am… life’s been restructurin’ me since the day I was born.”

Then she said it—soft, slow, like she was singin’ a sad country tune:
“Your position has been eliminated.”

And I swear, for a moment, the room felt like the inside of an old ho--y‑tonk—quiet, dusty, full of memories. They slid a packet across the table, thick as a Sunday newspaper, full of “resources” and “next steps.” I flipped through it like it was sheet music for a song I didn’t wanna play.

I packed up my desk—my mug, my pens, my little notebook full of ideas that never quite made it to the stage—and I walked out. Folks nodded at me like I was ridin’ off into the sunset.

But when I stepped outside…
The sun hit me warm.
The breeze carried that familiar whisper.
Freedom.

I took a breath, felt the weight lift off my shoulders, and smiled.
“Dell,” I said under my breath, “you just gave me a reason to get back on the road again.”

And I walked toward my truck, feelin’ that old Wi---e rhythm in my bones—soft, steady, hopeful. Because sometimes life closes a door just to remind you you’ve still got miles to travel, songs to sing, and places to be.

And brother… I was ready to roll.

My People Leader has not spoken to the team. People Leaders on other teams in different departments have met with their teams as a whole and with individuals. I refuse to believe that the PL don’t know who will be impacted by the future layoffs.

Looks like FHE isn't paying the bills again! Unfulfilled orders are piling up, haven't seen any D&H or Ingram Micro orders in weeks. Rumors abound on Slack about cashflow issues again, but of course OTC is tight-lipped, pretending there's no issue, while the boots on the ground have to deal with the pi---d-off institutional customers. May be time to desert the sinking ship....

Cigna in a year regarding HIH and AI. But like Kumar Galhotra who is the DP Koka equivalent at Ford, they probably will be gone by then with their massive cash payouts.

Hey everyone. I posted here kinda ominously last week and I was kinda freaked out. But I've kinda just accepted that whatever happens happens. Has anyone heard anything concrete new?

They buy a company for billions of dollars. They lay off all the experts that grew that company to billions of dollars and in their place put in Verizon cronies that have no clue how to run the newly acquired business. Then they are all surprised when it all fails. Buy the company, keep the experts and cash in. It’s not that hard…

Ask about that number in the next town hall.

Leadership has been sworn to secrecy for that reason alone. It is a big number and it will get a lot of press in Milwaukee. Extravagant north building rebuild. Eating a massive loss on Franklin. Mckinsie is leading the way. All while collecting massive consulting fees.

Everyone should ask chatGPT what your take home pay would be in your state after taxes. What I would actually get to keep is almost cut in half after taxes. Makes the VSP offer less appealing.

I am sick to my stomach after hearing "more updates to follow in coming weeks" day after day.

While I try hard to not let this BS affect my productivity, it's becoming harder to focus

As the great Status Quo once sang, "Down, Down, Deeper and Down"

Are we expecting movement this week ? When can we expect notifications

Looks like T got rid of all their talent so they could end up like Polaroid . Same dead management style, same ending . Loaded up with cheap H1B labor because that seems to be the new "in" thing. Thats innovation right there . Push bright intelligent people to use AI so that they can start buying tokens from another company eventually. Thats a real future lol. Looking at the stock price , some would say T is about to slip beneath the waves.

I see RTO and market based culture really paid off.

On track for back below $20.

Guess Wall-Street isn’t responding as positively to endless layoffs and treating employees like sh-t as they were before.

🤡

Pre Dan, VZ was around $39 bucks for a few years. AI Dan promised that with Operational efficiency + layoffs + AI , VZ would be at $70 and be trading at similar multiples to AT&T and T-Mobile. Instead, we seem to meandering along in the mid 40s.

Hello, as the BNY People Leader and member of the BNY Executive Committee, there are many posts on this forum the scream loudly for executive leadership attention. People concerns for accountability and transparency on topics related to business transformation and responsible leadership, stewardship of Human Resources and governance. While this forum is outside of PeakOn surveys and other formal feedback mechanisms, the readership here would like to have honest dialogue with you and your peers about company behaviors that have created a beyond toxic workplace environment with restrictive RTO policies, forced and falsified performance ratings, a constant cycle of fear and doom related to real estate closures, layoffs, consolidations, offshoring, onshoring, H1B visas, short staffing, reductions in force, staffing shortages within key departments, offshoring of entire job families, the continued buildup of Pune as the largest growth location within BNY, voracious cost cutting, ageism, forced and voluntary terminations, lack of severance, lawsuits, concerns about WARN Act circumvention, USA EEOC complaints, false optics and disclosure issues, etc., etc.. Should you and your staff be interested in reviewing and addressing my employee feedback beyond retributive PeakOn surveys, we would strongly encourage your direct involvement and attention. You and your EC colleagues are choosing to remain silent on all of these topics while ignoring company bylaws. Please come out… come out wherever you are!!!

An article came out stating procurement and supply chain are being combined under one group now. We all know that this means more roles will be eliminated in the U.S. and outsourced to GCC in Mexico.

Lot of layoffs at Lightpath last week. Mostly from Sales.

I laughed out loud when I watched KC's video message last week saying SF is now decided to slow the rollout of the Agent contract changes. Just another evidence of the incompetence of this executive leadership team. Sounds like someone didn't do their homework or anticipate how badly agents were getting sc--wed. #eggonface

I really thought centene was a great company when I joined. I thought I had a pretty solid team with great leadership. Only to find out it was all a facade. My leadership still refuses to address this issue with empathy towards the team. The director doesn’t seem to gaf about the team and their well being and neither does any of the leaders under her. They should focus on replacing all of management and irrelevant positions. I need them to hurry up and let me go if that’s what they want to do so I can collect unemployment. I have zero desire to do any work and to top it off, every single teammate is disgruntled leaving all their work for others to do…. Job hunting has been an utter nightmare and staying positive is beginning to take a toll. Sorry for the venting this is just terrible. I’m so disappointed in my leadership team and their lack of concern or empathy for their team.

There were rumors about cuts at the start of July, is that happening?

Boston Public Schools notified hundreds of teachers and classroom aides about potential job losses. Over 500 newer teachers and 102 paraprofessionals received non-renewal notices. These reductions stem from a $53 million budget shortfall and declining enrollment. The School Committee approved a $1.7 billion budget eliminating nearly 570 positions. Layoffs are based on seniority, likely impacting newer educators and teachers of color.

The U.S. Food and Dr-g Administration (USFDA) is authorized to hire 2,200 new staff. This follows the agency cutting over 3,000 employees last year. The job reductions had raised concerns about the FDA's dr-g review capacity. Approximately 600 new employees are currently onboarding, with some already started. Officials report improving staff morale and reduced attrition rates.

Nothing happening this week or next, company is moving forward preparing for kick off , no layoffs

476 sm. Was fired for favoritism
Time cards didn’t match schedule.
Some didn’t clock out for lunches and were paid

Very inconsistent when it came to time and attendance, some warnings deleted others were reprimanded for being late.

Anyway, 476 got the boot after several excel line complaints

A ton of WFR, Boise closing, early retirement packages.... anyone know if they still will do more layoffs this year? Side note.... who else thinks Enterprise Operations is totally a top heavy organization with all new ELT who don't know what they're doing?
