Ryan noted 20-25% but that's an average arcoss the company. IT layoffs will be a much are higher %. If you are in certain groups then you've already seen the contracts being lined up for contractors to replace entire groups and even orgs IT.
The only question is how much will happen in November or how many will be asked to stay longer to train their replacements. Remember the CEP team is now working through 2026.
Keep an eye on the waning demand for Labor generally and be prepared eg with resumes and maybe even retraining.
Bloomberg today:
It’s only the third day of a much-feared month of September and sobering US economic news is already piling up.
Yesterday it was six straight months of shrinking manufacturing. Today it’s job openings falling in July to the lowest in 10 months, adding to other employment data (including a report last month that caused Donald Trump to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics) showing America’s once-robust post-pandemic jobs landscape continues to darken.
Even worse, the sectors most responsible for the new numbers aren’t cyclical and had been recent drivers of growth. Available positions decreased to 7.18 million from a downwardly revised 7.36 million in June, according to data published Wednesday by the BLS, a division of the US Department of Labor. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for 7.38 million openings.
Thousands of customer success specialists from CX went to vegas from all over the world including India China Portugal Poland etc to attend extremely underwhelming training 2 days on the weekend before GSX and didn’t even get to stay for GSX. Millions of $$$ down the drain in international travel for everyone. Would rather have a full merit program than this crapshow. Sales kickoff I understand important but in the name of technical training of 2 days travel from across the globe just to hang out and drink is not the best use of resources. Good job CX leadership yet again.
Hi, for fellows here, anyone know how to milk best fridge benefit before the last day?

Someone in HR messed up! Public channel- 50
Question FAQ and notice date of 9/2… SO CRAZY!!!!
I’m leaving the industry because of my manager. I have discussed this with my spouse and I cannot take the new culture. I went through all the channels listed in the annual hr trainings and haven’t noticed a positive difference with my manager. I’m a top performer in my department and keep my head down, I’m a low level employee so my mental health is more important.
Writing up employees and managers left and right. Adding more and more responsibilities on all. Constant changes with no training or notice of the change. Constant emails of impending changes. Constant meetings, messages, sxs, 1 on 1. More and more coming everyday. And they are starting to drop like flies. SF is shaking the tree before the big reorganization.
Did anyone else that's resigned recently get a bunch of desperate, last minute requests to train BTC people on your way out the door? I ended up being too busy to get to around it.
They always have "no budget"
No one goes to conferences, no one does anything to really push their career.
This company is just full of excuses for one thing another.
Im tired and done stagnating my career here.
Im getting off the titanic; everyone else should too but lets be honest if you are here for more than 5 years, you are already at the dead end of your career and everyone knows it
Getting laid off is stressful no matter what, but there are still solid opportunities if you know your stuff. I found a new role even when people said the market was tough. It is nerve-wracking at first, but landing a good position makes it all feel worth it.
people dont like using the sales chat cuz its slow, wrong half the time, and just makes more work instead of less... the data in it is kinda trash so the answers come out trash too... bosses keep pushing us to hit some random kpi even when we dont even need it that week... feels like were just trainning the thing to take our jobs one day and thats not cool...
