California Academy Staff Rally for Audit After Layoffs

California Academy of Sciences employees rallied at San Francisco City Hall. They called for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to audit the Academy's finances. This action followed recent layoffs affecting at least 38 union members. Management stated staff reductions were necessary to reduce expenses and eliminate deficits. Workers had previously proposed executive pay cuts, which the Academy refused.

STS Announces 22 Layoffs Despite Growth

Société de transport de Sherbrooke (STS) is laying off 22 employees. These job cuts specifically target urban drivers. The decision comes despite the transit corporation's recent growth. STS reported a 33% increase in ridership since the pandemic. The union criticizes the move as nonsensical during expansion.

Something big brewing

I am hearing, atleast from few different levels that they are planning to do mass layoff in Ireland and maybe UK, and eventually exit UK like Germany..not rumors but actual talks. Can't share where and who coz i might get into trouble.

I mean I'm already seeing signs for UK, decreasing headcount each year, only bit up due to German relocation, not much profit and announcements of Canada physical store plans and aggressive US stores plans- they would need money and UK might be bleeding more money and resources.

I would be very proactive to look for jobs given perfect storm brewing.


June 14th layoffs

If you get surplused please post the following info:

Landline or Wireless
Your VP Org
Management or Union
Years of service vs weeks of severance
Did you reject the RTO new location mandate

I'm curious to see if all those claiming union layoffs are correct.

Thank you


If you want to know the real reason we are all getting laid off

It’s because our so-called leadership are all id1ots and completely out of touch with what the average employee does here. For example, they tout the importance and success of meeting-free fridays. Don’t know about you all, but I’m still having meetings on fridays.

And, their justification for meeting-free Fridays is to wallow employees the ability to “connect with colleagues.” First off, the average employee is too busy to just set aside time to “connect” for the sake of connecting. Second, our colleagues are all spread out at different sites so it’s hard to “connect” on a teams call. Third, none of us have our own desks anymore, we have community seating, so even if we work at the same site, none of us even sit in the same area to “connect.” Forth, good luck finding an open area to “connect” in.

Since leadership wanted to try and cover-up their bad real estate deals and are packing us all in to the brim, there are never any conference rooms or lounges available. The other day, I saw two employees working in a focus room meant for one employee. Yeah, it’s getting that bad! Don’t let “leadership” fool you. They are just a bunch of inept employees who either have a piece of paper stating otherwise, got lucky or knew someone already in that “leadership” circle.


Don't leave forwarding details

Laid off a couple of months ago. On my last day I left a leaving note, thank you, wish you well etc and also my new email address and cell #.
Got a call from my old boss last week. Started off asking me how I was doing etc and then had the gaul to ask me about some project work I was working on before he let me go.
I was polite in saying, sorry, no idea and quickly finished the call.
Anyone else had this ? Its laughable.

Dell managers a just policy holders and slide jockeys

At this point if you are a manager in Dell at any level they have totally castrated you. Managers are HR policy holders, responsible for budgets and slide jockeys. Most of our management team is no longer technical and the people that are left kiss a$$ and say “yes” to pretty much anything.

Some love it, most hate it and want to get out. The scrum at scale debacle was finally scrapped but my favorite is that absolutely nobody was held accountable. This was a big driver of these changes.

Next AI as an excuse to just lay off more people and our managers will have to do it.

Dell stock is soaring for now but layoffs are on the way. Which will include a significant number of managers. This company has gone to he-l and the people in charge are destroying it but are too greedy and selfish to care.

Post layoffs…if there is such a thing.

I’m waiting to see what happens after the layoffs. Layoffs always cause a stock bump. The announcement of a multiyear layoff, while tragic, was smart for a sustained climbing stock bump but what about after?

You have to have something new that your competitor does not or do something better than your competitor. I’ve never seen a Citi bank, an actual walk in bank and I’ve never seen a Citi ATM other than what’s at the office. So we make the direction of wealth management. Oookay, so what’s our plan of getting that market share? People don’t just move money from a well established bank to another bank because they are bored with nothing to do.

What’s the plan to still have the stock grow post the layoffs? What are we doing to accomplish that, that’s either new or better than other banks?

Layoffs are coming

Every acquisition brings layoffs, but this will be bad. Usually it's the acquired company that gets the brunt of it, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is used to get rid of as many people as possible on both sides under the cover of supposed redundancy. Prepare yourselves. This will not be pretty.


Algoma University Staff Cuts Raise Service Concerns

Algoma University's support staff union president expressed concerns about recent layoffs. Over the past year, 86 positions were cut through layoffs and voluntary exits. These cuts reduced support staff by 40 percent across the university's three campuses. The university faces a projected $16.45 million deficit and declining student enrollment. The union worries these reductions will leave some student services non-existent.
