#uncertainty

I'm trying to stay positive, but it’s tough to picture things improving in any way without major changes. And I don't think we'll be seeing such changes any time soon, if ever.

Or is it just speculation?

Please share any updates.

It's been over a month since we were told there would be GT layoffs. How much longer do we need to complete this "rationalization"? Fu-k the spring holidays, just pull the ripcord and send the emails already.

Does anyone know the extent of layoffs that happened in the last few days? Was there any layoffs today also?

Different people are reporting differently. I’d appreciate if anyone has analyzed this and can share their findings. Someone is maintaining a running total from Slack (Thanks a ton!), and that says about 12,000 people were let go.

Terrible to hear about layoffs and see our coworkers let go. I hope this madness stops soon so we can focus on work. Tired of being on the edge for the last 6 months. Thanks!

YET?

Seeing LinkedIn goodbyes - what groups are getting cut this week?

From what I can see, this was a pretty limited round, which makes me more worried. Instead of feeling like it’s over, it just feels like the start of something that’s going to continue.

Can we say with certainty that everybody affected has been notified by now?

People saying ORX isn’t affected but more than 25 pharmacists were laid off. It’s unsettling.

Peak combo of constant crises and steady decline, with the daily expectation of joblessness.

I would otherwise be out without a second thought. I don't know what your experience is, but there are barely any jobs out there. I reached my peak burnout just as there are no options left. Well, I'll just tread water here until better times, trying not to go nuts from having to show up here every day.

It’s bad all the time. I mean if there is anything in particular not to look forward to?

Or when the next round will hit, or how many they think it makes sense to cut. Leadership overextended. AI is a black hole they all fell into, and now they're operating on pure sunk cost fallacy. They may end up shooting themselves in the leg to save the arm. Basically, anything can happen in the near future, and none of it will be good for us.

Maybe tomorrow can happen, by April 3rd it can happen? How many still pending.. How much percentage of Mexico gone?

Non-Core layoffs, who's actually been affected?
I'm a US-based remote employee in an SMBC Non-Core unit. I was certain I'd be laid off, but the axe hasn't fallen on me or several peers.
Is this a real stay of execution, or just a holding pattern before they sell us off?

Should I take this as a good sigh? Or is it just the usual calm before the storm?

We are all sad to see our brilliant coworkers leave this week in the US and around the globe. Is this round finished? If so, when will be the next round? We all need to get prepared for the next impact now.

A coworker mentioned he talked to his manager who told him to relax, no cuts planned for a while. I think this sounds too good to be true but one can hope. Has anybody else heard something like this?

Anyone show no schedule past May 2026 in house calls? Seems odd, but with the current environment not surprised.

Big difference in both these numbers .

Which one is it

The talks of tough guys on this post board… what is going on at ONHD. What is we in for next 3 month??

For at least a couple of years, until everything settles down. There's no doubt about this in my mind. If you like job security, you're out of luck.

I know many are tempted to quit with cuts and uncertainty but unless you have something lined up, don't. Even a horrible job that pays the bills is better than unemployment at a time when job market is among the worst it's ever been. Don't make the mistake of putting yourself into an even worse position on an impulse.

They did pilot layoff on Tuesday on OCI support organisation, and that's it.. radio silence... They are rumours by end of March... Does management spread this rumor.. or directors spreading this rumor... The wait is ki-ling... Constant thinking... I may get diabetes or what...

I have nearly 15 years at the bank and am at retirement age. If I were laid off, would I still receive all my retirement benefits, along with any severance they might offer? Or would I be better off retiring before I get laid off? I fully expect more cuts in my BL.

Suppliers no longer expect market conditions to normalize. They are adapting operations for ongoing market instability. This follows tens of thousands of job cuts in 2025. Relentless regulatory uncertainty also prompted this change. This information comes from a recent S&P Global survey.

Can we be certain?

ASML revealed plans to eliminate about 1,700 management positions, representing around 4% of its global staff. The cuts focus largely on technical and IT teams, and weeks after the announcement, employees are still waiting for clarity.

Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML announced layoff plans. The company intended to cut 1,700 management positions. This reduction impacts about 4% of its global workforce. Technical and IT departments were the primary targets. Seven weeks later, the process for affected employees remains unresolved.

How much longer will this outfit last till its bankrupt or bought out? 5 years, 10, ???

Well I woke up feeling uncertain about the future but then I wrote “Verizon doesn’t care about me” on a post-it and i immediately felt better. I recommend it to my colleagues. I will look at that post-it every morning now

It is obvious layoffs are going to be massive. Maybe they will not happen all at once, but they are coming. I am done waiting. After 15 years here, I sent out my first applications yesterday and will keep doing it every day. It breaks my heart because I do like my job, but I will be damned if I just sit around waiting like sheep for sla-ghter.

Be prepared

Good luck, y'all.

Does anyone know if any teams outside of the clinics are getting hit again? I’m work in corporate but all I keep hearing about are the clinics closing or merging.

There are now no more PDRs? What does this mean? Is it just another nail in the coffin of getting a new position/career progression? I guess there won’t be any need for them if there aren’t any jobs to post in a PDC.
