More rifs announced effective 1/31/2026. This one is even bigger. Billing is losing like 60 to 75% of its employees

The reduction accounts for 7.6% of full-time and part-time staff, according to a message from President Rob Manuel. The university is aiming to reduce $27.4 million in spending following a dramatic drop in international enrollment.

Is LBT and his team planning to do that ?

Hearing that Cap 1 and Consumable reduction? Moving positions overnight??

Have any VRP been offered yet ? The last offers were last November almost exactly 1 year ago. In a few weeks they will be on the hook for lots of new 9 % ACH contributions they will have to make every paycheck after the pension plans stop accruing. It would be nice if they could try to use the VRP to reduce the number of people they need to force out of a job and reduce the burden on themselves too.

Not true.. faculty and course leads, coordinators are being let go

UBS has been cutting jobs as a result of the integration of former rival Credit Suisse, which it bought in 2023.

A reduction of 10,000 jobs would equate to a 9% cut in total jobs for the Swiss bank, which had around 110,000 employees at the end of 2024.

On Thursday, the Phoenix Union High School District (PXU) governing board voted 5-1 to eliminate 167 positions, reducing staff by 6%.

So latest communication is a reduction in people in all areas of 20% in Q1.
It’s going so well.
Will be interesting to see if that number is applied evenly across both XRX and LKX or if the plan is to just be left with LKX monkeys (who know nothing about digital services and our collective growth engines).
Meanwhile the SLT continue to spend money like water on themselves, pet projects, relocation/moving costs. Java.

What is the news on staff reductions as the MRC/DNOW merger progresses?

JD absolutely burned Nike, pure failure no question. His strategy was cost reduction and DTC, no real tech chops as PK hoped, fitting of a consultant. Company value cut in half 2020-2024 during his time!

How does PK wipe the egg off his face after hand selecting JD, demoralizing employees, and scaring off shareholders? Go back to the safety of Nike DNA roots picking EH a former Dallas Cowboy trainer for his friend JJ.

Cronie nepotism at its best. EH is WAY over his head, he’s a salesman not a CEO. Nike has a very uncertain future ahead, it’s worrisome.

What’s next people? More excuses ahead of earnings coming certainly…

Just heard all of the rf tools

Overall , reduction in budget for tools.

As markets combine there won't be assistance on managing the larger area from HQ.

Good luck...

PNNL is cutting about 68 staff across Pacific Northwest national lab sites, with most reductions in Richland. Lab leadership ties the layoffs to funding and program changes.

Heard there have to be 4s on the team. This might be the new strategy to get rid of some serious headcount without any severances. Track your work and have enough evidence to contest the 4s. If they want you out they want you out.

Someone I work with, a friend, was told today is last day.

Can’t they just reduce everyone’s salary instead of layoffs like some cultures do?

Town hall this morning announced that we're going to combine IBO and the GSCs, and that we will eliminate some redundancies.

Buckle up, it's time for another round of musical chairs aboard the RMS Titanic.

For those that are impacted by the reduction in force, please check or have someone go over the severance agreement to see if there's a timeframe set for a non-compete clause. This would include verbiage regarding a timeframe of which you may be illegible for employment by a similar company offering a similar or slightly different role. While some states do have limitations on this, please exercise due diligence.

Example: You may be barred from working in a telecom or similar company for a period of six months before they would consider hiring you. You would go through the whole interview process, but then get hung up during the final selection due to this.

If the union folks pass on this lame offer will there be a forced reduction? Contrary to what most of you believe. We don’t all have a no layoff clause. And we are not all under the same union contract.

Any word on layoffs?

Hearing 1st week in December and up to. 20% reduction?

•••
First they look everyone who has active corrective actions such as PIPs, verbal, written, and final warnings and attendance issues.

Then they look at who on the team is rated as high potential, emerging talent, high professional, valued contributor, and low potential. Half you probably don’t know about these rating bc your supervisor is NOT obligated to inform you of this rating but you are given this rating each year.

Then they look at 2024 EOY rating such as developing, achieving, leading (the ratings your supervisor is required to disclose during your EOYs and mid years) as well as what you have been rated thus far for 2025.

Then they will go off historical performance and what your direct supervisor or AD has to say about you and their personal input.

They will not use any of this data at all if your position or location has been RIFd entirely. And therefore you are susceptible to still being let go if you are and have been a high performer.

Layoffs at Pottstown Hospital are raising new concerns about access to medical care in western Montgomery County, writes Jim Melwert for KYW Newsradio. The cuts are part of a 350-person reduction across Tower Health’s network.

Work force reduced next up asset sales?

I have read about individuals reportimg GL reductions numerous times on this site. I thought that terms of reassignments won't be communicsted until Monday. Does someone have a crystal ball? I would like to buy one.

The Reorg is going to reduce the divisions as usual. So if you’re a division player get ready. That’s where a large portion of the other 2500 come from. Buckle up. 1st week of December

Is the layoff applicable to full time only or contractors are going to be impacted as well? Can organizations sacrifice contractors to meet the 15~20% target and reduce Opex pressure? My organization is loaded with contractors with only a handful of full time employees.

Maybe people need to understand that one team could get hit at 30% and another at 15%. That doesn't make peoples posts a lie. It just means when they say 30% it may not be for everyone. Most Verizon employees have zero understanding of what goes on across the entire company.

You all will be very disappointed very soon when you find out you are expecting a Drama Movie and the movie ends being a comedy....live on. There will be big changes and the normal EOY sheet cleaning but nothing extraordinary like you all falsely claim here....believe me not?....wait and come back here in two weeks

Is there a major round of layoffs about to hit the compliance department? Dan Veale, the global head of surveillance was reassigned to a far less prestigious area of ICRM. Jennifer Taylor, the Chief Compliance Officer of a major unit, has not been seen in the office for weeks. She also no longer has anyone reporting to her as per the global directory, of where till recently had. The Jersey City location is filled primarily with compliance officers, of where Citigroup recently fired a WARN Act with the state of New Jersey, that the bank intends to layoff 70 staff in that location the first week of December. In summary, the combination of an official WARN notice for a location housing compliance staff and the apparent elimination or reassignment of two senior compliance executives makes it highly probable that a major reduction in force is targeting the compliance department. Anyone else observing possible pre positioning ahead of a major change?

Why is so urgent that surveys be done? Are they used to target reductions?

Ottawa 50% gutted.

There were only about 450 at Riverside, now 196 fewer remaining.

50% reduction, combined with VCG operations across the board

MA layoffs incoming

There seems to be a big RIF coming. Not sure exactly who’s impacted but seems like there’s going to be a lot. Today was the last day HR submitted it in their “RIF Tracker”. Goodluck yall.

New CEO said on the earnings webcast we need to be leaner as a company and reduce in areas that no longer make sense. As I’ve been hearing 20% reduction in employees over the next 2 years

Just in the last two days I've heard
A) 20% reduction in managers by end of year
B) all projects on hold due to disastrous quarter

Prepare NOW. Do NOT be complacent. BEG your leadership for L&D funding NOW. You MUST up-skill with certifications to be considered for a job in this horrible job market. Start applying NOW!

You can thank Trump for this one - more jobs are moving back to the US. Expect big changes in 2026
