Everyone else is in a hiring freeze but the engineering group in Rancho Bernardo is seriously picking up with more than 22+ open positions open. Everyone keeps dooming on this place but I only see growth

… prove me wrong!

SAS Viya IS SAS — it has a Compute Server that runs traditional Datastep, PROCs, the Macro facility, etc. This being the case, most SAS customers CAN run their SAS9 code successfully in Viya.

So, why all the Viya hate here? SAS is strongly on the side of making Viya succeed!

Been with the firm in CCB for about 3 years now, This place is full of Indian VP Managers who don't know anything, they are basically project managers updating status in Excel sheets and working as Engineering leads or Managers. They are mostly all full time switch overs from Indian Consulting firms.

US has the weakest employment protections hence global companies appear to be shedding US roles to India. The weak severances add risk for those affected and financially solvent to consider class-action lawsuits if they do not to sign separation agreements that prevent such an opportunity.

What's Happening ...to stock prices..>>>>>>its getting brutal----->0.9 * Skyworks stock price plus $32 equals q share buyout. they might even revise that, even lower, its like a bad luck charm. The Q can mess things up worse without even trying. Its just one big "Glitch"; but have no fear, Skyworks will " Fix The Glitch"

US based Tier 2 tech department just got extremely thinned out. More and more US based employees are being let go. Think about your future because Verizon won’t. If you havnt heard anything by EOD I’d stop stressing as 30 day notice is Dec 19th which is our final date.

Thursday came around quick. Anyone impacted this week or know of anyone? Someone said ~10 in GCAS tech but I would think more for just before December starts. Thoughts with those that are and have been laid off.

Was notified today that I had to submit 4 of my bottom guys. I was shocked because I thought they were protected. Turns out only the senior guys have a security or non layoff agreement. The union has been notified and have been given the list.

LMs for I&M, CXM, CO techs, contract services, Analysts, Motor Vehicles? I know everyone is going to be affected, but curious if anyone “in the know” has a pulse on average # per AD/SD they have to lose? I’ve heard up to 2 or 3 per SD, including ADs.

Cisco to lay off dozens in Israel as restructuring hits local operations

Personally just don’t think I can do another year at this company

Dell will need to keep laying more off by the thousands

That is what chatGPT told me. Ansys never had a mass layoff but Synopsys did a few times in the last a few year.

The merge was good initially if you sold all of your Stocks a few days after the merge. Otherwise, you lost 30% minimal.

The AI market is ORCL’s golden goose and they are betting the farm on it. Diversification is the way you survive in tech. ORCL down 110.00 from 2025 high. That means oracle clown employees that thought it was the best thing since sliced bread lost tons the last 8-12 weeks. Good. That’s what you, esp mgmt, get for laying off so many good people. The worst run company in the world. You could be be lacking 90% of your brain and be a director at Oracle. Hahahagahag

What’s going on with Legacy T techs? Big changes to Schedules, Reporting Locations, End of home dispatch for critical infrastructure crews? They giving up on business services? Contracts also up next year.

I’m happy our stock is up - but markets are over-rewarding hyperscaler AI exposure; ( we know the Hyperscaler ) Kudos to Martin ‘s Silicon One team and let’s hope they continue to deliver else will be punish harder next year - AI infra is the hottest narrative in tech.

Top-heavy CPO office not done much here - btw NO SECURITY headlines !!! What’s going on there ?

SBG and Collab will be hit a bit based on rumours

Any one received thier severance payment from the recent RIFs?

The layoffs, which were first reported by Crain’s New York, were disclosed in a filing with the New York State Department of Labor. In total, 660 employees are being laid off by Amazon across nine offices in New York City.

And now they're trying to memory hole the RA with positive news.

So far only one person I know of, but we already lost a team member this quarter and may have been spared because of that.

I knew they were doing the Global Tech layoffs in EMEA last week, but a friend of mine just got let go here on campus- Legal Privacy office. Any other groups impacted last week?

If all of us do it, will they fire us all? Ai isn't ready yet and H1B's will have to be trained to do the role. In the mean, we could get a union to negotiate? Sign up and let’s all walk on Monday 11/10/25! - https://www.joinifpte.org/tech

Any updates from the Tech AMA in St. Louis on the 6th?

Working for this company is absolute he-l. When working in tech you are still expected to sell sell sell. 99% of our continued training is nothing but sales soft skills. The only thing this company cares about is "adding phone lines" if someone has already been escalated up to multiple levels of tech support they don't want to hear about plans or perks or upgrades. The amount of work they expect agents to be able to do is completely outside of reality. There are so many service related issues that can not be resolved by anyone.

• Tech layoffs in the Bay Area continue, with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Hitachi Vantara, and Cepheid announcing new job cuts.
• HPE is cutting 52 positions in San Jose, mainly in cloud development, engineering, and product management, following a global plan to reduce 2,500 jobs.
• Hitachi Vantara will permanently eliminate 128 jobs in Santa Clara starting December 31, affecting software engineering, marketing, and customer support.
• Cepheid is reducing 34 positions in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties as COVID-19 test demand declines and operations move to Lodi.
• These cuts add to a growing list of tech layoffs in 2025, joining recent reductions from Amazon, Meta, Applied Materials, and Google.

Tech support US here.

It seems like we’re seeing a shift in staffing with more roles being filled by people from India. I can’t help but wonder why Dell doesn't consider hiring more people from the US when there are so many qualified candidates ready and willing to work. We’re being told to take ethics courses, which honestly feel more like a chore, yet it seems like the company itself is falling short of its own ethical standards.

It’s clear that the company is gradually moving its US operations overseas, and it’s disheartening to see how this has unfolded. First, we saw changes to our healthcare benefits, and now it feels like the focus is on cheap labor at the expense of loyal workers. It’s tough to continue supporting a company that seems to be disregarding its employees in favor of cost-cutting measures. This needs to be stop.

Will AT&T compete to this extent before the end of the year?

https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/28/business/amazon-layoffs

I’m wishing the new tech team all the best, man. It was about time we got some fresh tech and ki-led it at what we do. I’m stoked for our company and hoping for more wins.

Been out with our hr guy who normally is very quiet, yet he said about planned layoffs in our region, he said something 30-50 ppl, mostly from tech part. Can't confirm, but he said that he himself was not hired for such a role, but... you know.
So seams that even Dubai and Riyadh - our cash cow region centres are not immune.

Do we think tomorrow’s Target corp layoffs will create a ripple effect through the Twin Cities tech scene? (This is a moment when we may benefit from having so few leaders who live here, but we have enough.)

Anyone hear anything about tech or engineers being affected by the layoffs? We’ve essentially received no communication from our managers, directors, or VPs since the news came out

If layoffs are really coming, which group do you think gets hit first: tech, retail, or shared services?

Have not seen or heard anything on this here? No one commenting, Detroit media silent...as usual.

Has anyone nothing a horrible smell on all floors in Alpharetta..? It’s really distracting but especially the second and fourth floor. Maybe because that’s tech and IT and the people are overworked? It’s a mix of body odor and unwashed clothes. Very distracting and I’m thinking they just don’t have time or energy to bathe daily or laundry. Idk but I want to work home so bad the smell is extremely distracting from work and I often go to break room or work on patio just to get away.

But they have 100’s of them with labor department fake jobs LCA applications for H1B indentured servants
