Kroger’s Cutting 1,000 Jobs—Here’s Why

Kroger is making headlines again, but not for the best reason. The grocery giant is slashing nearly 1,000 corporate jobs in its third round of layoffs this year, including 200 in Cincinnati. The company says it’s all about “simplifying” and freeing up cash to lower prices and improve stores. But with lawsuits swirling and a CEO shakeup after an ethics probe, there’s a lot more drama behind the scenes than just budget cuts. Wild times for your local grocer! #Food #Kroger #Layoffs

Texans brace for another round of job cuts

Mass layoffs are shaking up daily life across Texas, with hundreds of workers from Dallas to San Antonio suddenly facing unemployment. UPS is cutting 62 part-time jobs in Dallas as it ramps up automation, while CarOffer is shutting down its Addison location, leaving over 100 employees in limbo. San Antonio isn’t spared either—TechWerks is letting go of 87 staff after a contract loss, and Promises Behavioral Health is closing its Wimberley rehab, impacting dozens more. With so many families affected, what do you think this wave of layoffs means for our communities and local economy? #Business #TexasJobs #Layoffs

Laid-Off Manager Hits a Job Market Wall

Imagine having 20+ years of tech experience, only to be told you’re “too expensive” for every job you apply to. That’s Alexander Valen’s reality after getting laid off from Accenture. He’s been job hunting for 21 months, but companies keep cutting manager roles and slashing pay. Even with a killer resume, he’s ghosted by recruiters and forced to consider jobs way below his pay grade. The job market for experienced pros? Brutal right now. #JobCareer #JobSearch #Layoffs

Job Hunt Struggles Are SO Real Right Now

Job searching in 2024 is wild—nearly 800,000 people got laid off this year, and landing a new gig is taking forever. Some folks are sending out 100+ applications before getting a bite! And even if you do get hired, pay cuts are super common. The job market’s slow, but experts say don’t burn out: take breaks, network, and upskill to boost your chances. Anyone else feeling this job search fatigue? #JobCareer #JobSearch #Layoffs

12,000 Layoffs at TCS… This One Hits Hard

Just saw the news that Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is laying off around 12,000 people — mostly mid-to-senior level employees — and I can’t lie, it stings. That’s 2% of their global workforce, but when you’re talking about 613,000 employees, that’s a lot of lives affected. TCS has been a pillar of India’s IT sector for decades. If even they are cutting this deep, it says a lot about how shaky the global tech services market is right now. They’re saying it’s to pivot toward new markets and AI expansion, but it’s tough not to feel like experienced folks are being pushed out to make room for leaner, cheaper teams or tech replacements. I get that businesses evolve, but I also worry about what this means for the thousands of careers built on traditional IT consulting and services. Hope everyone affected lands on their feet quickly. The world’s changing fast, and not always kindly. #India #Tech #Layoffs

NASA Layoffs Are a Gut Punch to Science and History

I just read that NASA is planning to lay off nearly 4,000 people. Voluntary or not, that’s thousands of insanely smart, experienced folks walking out the door — and taking decades of irreplaceable knowledge with them. Honestly, this hits hard. NASA isn’t just some random agency — it's one of the few institutions that still inspires people across generations. From landing on the Moon to sending rovers to Mars, it’s built on the backs of engineers, scientists, and mission planners whose expertise you can’t just replace with a new hire or AI system. A group of current and former NASA employees even wrote a letter (called the “Voyager Declaration”) basically begging the new acting head to reconsider, saying this will cripple missions. We talk a lot about pushing the frontier of science and exploration, but then we do stuff like this? It's short-sighted and sad. You don’t build the future by discarding the past. #NASA #Layoffs

Laid Off? Secret Groups Are the New Lifeline

Getting laid off doesn’t mean you’re on your own anymore. More and more ex-coworkers are forming invite-only chat groups to vent, swap job leads, and share those "ugh, HR again" moments. These private spaces are like a support group and job board rolled into one—but things can get awkward when everyone’s eyeing the same gigs. The real tea? These whisper networks are helping people bounce back faster and feel less alone in the chaos. #JobCareer #Layoffs #JobSearch

Why Your Amazon Box Might Come From Mexico

Heads up if you’re an online shopping fan: International Paper just closed two Texas plants and laid off 137 folks, all to double down on their operations near the U.S.-Mexico border. Translation? More of those shipping boxes and packaging might soon be coming from Mexico instead of Texas. It’s all about cutting costs and speeding up deliveries, but it’s a tough break for local workers. If you’re job hunting, keep an eye on companies shifting their focus to border towns! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Layoffs

Is Your Job on the Chopping Block?

Ever get the feeling layoffs are coming but no one’s saying it out loud? Career pros say there are subtle signs—like more closed-door meetings or your long-term projects getting shelved. If you’re brave, try asking your manager (even indirectly, like “Is now a good time to buy a house?”). Just don’t bank on a straight answer! Pro tip: always keep your résumé fresh and your network active, just in case. Better safe than sorry! #JobCareer #Career #Layoffs
