Over the past five years, we’ve endured so many layoffs - and just as many false alarms - that I’ve become somewhat numb to it all. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be laid off. I really need this job. But at the same time, I can’t bring myself to... — read more 

Well its here - Thursday 30th - its 1PM in Singapore, 10:30 AM in India, in four hours 10 AM in Luxembourg and 12.5 more hours before 9:30 AM in US PST. Guess I will know in ~13 hours or so what the universe has planned. If by chance anyone does... — read more

As we near the end of Month, an ancient tale of the Chinese farmer continues to serve me as a timeless reminder of life's unpredictability. A Chinese farmer loses a horse, and the villagers say, "What bad fortune!" The farmer replies, "Who Knows."... — read more 

Spending your days checking this site to maybe get a few days notice of whether you may or may not be impacted by a redundancy which may never come? Even if you get those few days notice it makes zero difference. At best this site is a place to talk... — read more

Previous years any layoffs occurred on or near 30th. Know its painful for those worried and those hoping for a package. However, its cruel for anyone to post mis-information like of receiving notices in some region if this has not really occurred... — read more 

Hoping for an email early to mirror what Meta announced. Keep an eye on your teams calendars too.

Covered in other posts but Meta did a 5% layoff. PayPal chose 5% threshold for "Needs Improvement rating". Is this a coincidence or trend for earnings? If any planning is happening, its at highest levels. No assessments done this year about... — read more

Has anybody heard anything relating to layoffs for the end of this month ?

Are new grad hires at a higher risk of being laid off? San Jose specifically.

now there are rumors, do you think that's warranted? will there be layoffs in jan 2025?

At least for this year. I'd really like to know if we can relax for at least a short while before we're it with more cuts.

Apply for work in other places. I wouldn’t ordinarily go onto these sites, I feel you should know a lot of cuts coming following project January 2025. Redundancies in 2025 will NOT have enhanced redundancy payments. None. What will change. 16 per... — read more

How likely do you this is to go through another round of layoffs before the year ends?

There's rumors floating around that any future layoffs would definitely include people who could stay working remote or appeal the RTO to work remote and is accepted. Does anyone have any info on this?

Forgive my language here but with this new RTO policy, I’ve lost the last bit of respect for this company and the new leadership. This is my rant, and called so for a reason. Even removing the covid tailwinds, our revenue has been growing fairly... — read more 

Got email from workday

The Q2 results have exceeded expectations, as evidenced by a slight increase in the share price. Do you anticipate any additional significant layoffs in North America?

Why this company can no longer provide the 16" Mac-books? This is very important to me. I don't want to work for a company that cuts corners. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to continue in this role. I'm considering resigning due to these... — read more

Curious if all frontline has been eliminated in the US. I know Venmo is now all abroad afaik. Any Arizona or Omaha support left?

I was not laid off in this latest round, but I’m not waiting for the next one. Constant anxiety over losing a job, peaking during mass layoffs, is ki-ling me. Since there is no point staying here, because there is no reward, promotion or any kind of... — read more
