Thread regarding Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) layoffs

The decline continues...

So to sum it up, not a bright story tho... Layoffs at D&B started last week, WFH folks got hammered the most... We dont have the final number, it's likely between 150 to 200 employees.

Dpts with reported hits are: Product, Sales, Delivery, Cybersecurity, and IT. There were some smaller cuts Dublin and there are rumots that Canada is next.

No WARN notices have been filed, this probably means that no more than 50 folks were cut at a single location. Folks with long tenures got decent severance, it su-ked for folks that joned recently.

The patterns continue, micromanagement, privacy invasion, mandatory cameras, weekly work reports, Sapience tracking software use etc. Big Brother is watching. Also, C-level continues to su-k ba--s and Clearlake Capital is calling shots... They are loading us w/high debt, they are milking cash flow, our AI is just stupid (heh) and customers are not stupid, so they are not buying it. Toxic culture reins supreme.

We'll VERY likely see additonal cuts next year, they will keep restructuring and selling asset.

Dun & Bradstreet terminated more than 700 people today, 1/27/2026. They eliminated jobs across all US based business units, all titles, all the way up to SVP. They have consolidated sales teams and instituted double digit growth goals even though they grew at low single digits in 2025. Private equity takeover ruins everything and always eliminated jobs.

58 Positions were eliminated in the tech side of the business; this does not count sales and other business units.

@OP when I was still there, internal discussions had taken place to look into selling the SMB unit.

@a3 yes, they are small headcount-wise. they are not small as a % of all headcount. So, if you counting heads, 200 is much smaller than amazon's 30K that was announced last week. But, amazon does have a million employees.

Haven’t heard anything in the news about this. Maybe the cuts are small compared to other companies
