Layoff rumors flying - what's the real story?
Okay, so I've been seeing these layoff rumors about Autodesk for a while now. Some articles claim significant cuts, like 7% or even 13%, citing a shift towards AI and cloud. Others have smaller numbers, around 250. It's all over the place and, importantly, not confirmed by the company. This kind of uncertainty is really stressful. I'm in the Bay Area office, and the general vibe is pretty tense. People are whispering, checking LinkedIn more than usual, and generally just anxious. It feels like a bad joke given how stable things seemed not too long ago. Is this just typical tech cycle stuff, or is something actually brewing at Autodesk? If there are cuts, what departments are being hit the hardest? It's hard to plan or even focus when you're constantly worried about your job security. Has anyone experienced anything concrete or heard anything from higher-ups that offers any clarity, even if it's just a hint?
Anyone else feeling the Autodesk jitters?
Seeing a lot of chatter online, especially on places like HN and Blind, about potential layoffs at Autodesk. Some posts mention specific numbers, others talk about restructuring towards AI/cloud. It's hard to get a clear picture since there's no official announcement from the company itself. Makes you wonder what's really going on behind the scenes. I haven't heard anything concrete from my direct management, but the rumors are persistent. People are definitely starting to get nervous. Is anyone in a position to know anything more? Or is this just the usual noise that happens in big tech? I'm trying to stay focused on my work, but it's tough when there's so much uncertainty. Just hoping my team/department is safe, but you never really know. Has anyone's manager even acknowledged these rumors, even vaguely?
Anyone else's manager suddenly being super vague about future projects?
I'm in the Build & Infrastructure group, been here for about 3 years. For the last month or so, my manager has been really cagey when I ask about Q3/Q4 roadmap for our team. Usually, they're pretty transparent, even if things are up in the air. Now it's just 'focus on current deliverables' and 'we'll share updates when we have them.' It feels different than just standard corporate speak. It's making it hard to plan my own work and even feel engaged when the future feels so uncertain. We haven't had any official news about headcount changes, but this feels like a weird indicator. Anyone else's leadership acting this way? Or am I just overthinking the usual project planning cycles?
Wondering about severance packages if it comes to that...
Hey all, so been at Autodesk for a little over 5 years now, working in the AEC space on the product management side. Lately, there's been this constant buzz, and while nothing's official, I can't help but think about worst-case scenarios. If layoffs *do* hit, does anyone have any intel on what Autodesk's typical severance packages look like? I'm not talking about just the basic notice period, but more like the standard weeks-per-year of service, continued health benefits, outplacement services, etc. Trying to get a realistic picture of what to expect so I can mentally prepare and maybe start putting feelers out more seriously. Any shared experiences or educated guesses would be super helpful. Trying to stay positive but also pragmatic, you know?
Thinking about leaving before the axe falls - advice?
Been hearing whispers for months, and honestly, I'm not waiting around to find out. I'm a product manager in the AEC division, been here 3 years. I've seen this happen before at another company, and the stress of waiting is worse than the actual job search. So, I'm proactively looking. My question is, how honest should I be with recruiters about why I'm leaving? Do I mention the layoff rumors at Autodesk, or just say I'm looking for new challenges? I don't want to badmouth my employer, but I also don't want to look like I'm jumping ship for no reason. Any advice from people who've been through this before? Also, any tips on negotiating a new salary when you're not technically unemployed?
Is Autodesk still a good place to work, or is the writing on the wall?
Been here for almost 7 years now, a senior SWE on the cloud platform team. Lately, the vibe just feels…off. Remember when we were all about innovation and pushing boundaries? Now it feels like we're just shuffling things around to meet quarterly targets. I keep seeing projects get cancelled or quietly shelved, and experienced people leaving for other opportunities. It's hard not to wonder if leadership knows something we don't, and if that something is a round of layoffs. Anyone else feeling this way? I used to be so proud to work here, but now I'm starting to wonder if I should dust off my resume.
Rant: Seriously undervalued and overworked!
Been at Autodesk for 5 years as a product designer, and I'm just so DONE. The workload has been insane, especially since we lost two team members last year (they weren't replaced, naturally). I'm constantly putting in extra hours just to keep up, and for what? My salary hasn't even kept pace with inflation. I asked for a raise during my last review, and my manager basically laughed in my face. He said the company is 'prioritizing long-term growth' or some BS. I'm starting to think about jumping ship. Anyone else feeling the same way? Seriously considering going freelance – at least then I'd be paid what I'm worth.
Heard rumors about possible layoffs in the fall, anyone know more?
Okay, so this is just a rumor I heard through the grapevine, but apparently there's talk about potential layoffs happening sometime in the fall, maybe around October or November. Someone in finance mentioned something about needing to 'realign resources' after the next quarterly report. I'm in sales, been here for 3 years, and while I usually hit my targets, the market's been tough lately. Anyone else heard anything similar? Any insight into how Autodesk typically handles these things? Is it performance-based, or more like last-in-first-out? Any insights appreciated.
Anyone else feeling on edge about potential restructuring?
I've been at Autodesk for 7 years now, in the AEC division as a senior software engineer. Things have been... weird lately. There's been a noticeable slowdown in hiring, and I've heard whispers about 'efficiency improvements' in leadership meetings (from a friend who works close to the VP). We haven't had any official announcements, but the general vibe is making me nervous. My team just finished a big project and I'm worried that might make us a target. Am I just being paranoid, or is anyone else feeling like something's brewing? Considering dusting off my resume, just in case.
Just venting: So tired of the constant uncertainty!
Seriously, is anyone else just completely burned out by the constant reorganizations and restructuring? It feels like every six months, there's a new 'strategic alignment' and suddenly half the team is reporting to someone new, or their projects get canceled. I'm on the AutoCAD team, and I swear, we've had three different VPs in the last two years. How are we supposed to build anything meaningful when the ground is constantly shifting beneath our feet? I'm not even talking about layoffs specifically (though that's always a low-level worry), it's just the constant sense of instability that's driving me nuts. I used to love working here, but now I'm starting to feel like I'm just waiting for the next shoe to drop. Anyone else relate?
Heard a rumor about possible layoffs - how to prep?
So, I overheard a conversation between two managers near the coffee machine (yeah, I know, eavesdropping isn't great). They were talking about 'performance reviews' and 'potential cost savings' and the word 'layoffs' definitely came up. I'm in the Media & Entertainment group, been here for 2 years, and while I think my performance is solid, you never really know. For those who've been through this before at Autodesk (or other companies), what's the best way to prepare? I'm updating my resume, of course. Should I start discreetly reaching out to contacts? Any advice on negotiating severance if it comes to that? Trying not to panic, but want to be proactive. Thanks in advance!
Anyone else feeling uneasy? Headcount dropping in some depts
Been at Autodesk for almost 5 years now, in the AEC division. Lately, things have felt...off. I've noticed a few familiar faces disappearing from our weekly all-hands meetings, and whispers are going around about 'restructuring.' My skip-level hasn't said anything directly, but the overall vibe is making me nervous. Anyone else experiencing this in their departments? Specifically, wondering if anyone in manufacturing is seeing similar trends. Just trying to gauge if this is isolated or a company-wide thing. I'm not necessarily worried about my own job, but more about the overall health and stability of the company. It's hard to focus on projects when you're constantly wondering what's coming next.
