So it begins... 57 roles cut in CA

Just saw the WARN notice drop for the July 3rd cutoff. They’re letting 57 people go in California. It feels like the slow drip has started again. I know people keep saying the business is doing well given the infrastructure demand, but leadership is clearly trimming the fat to keep the margins looking pretty for the next quarterly call. If you’re in one of these affected sites, start scrubbing your resume immediately. Don't wait for the 'meeting' invite to pop up on your calendar. Is anyone else hearing whispers about further headcount reductions in the Midwest or elsewhere? Seems like the strategy is to do these smaller, surgical cuts to avoid the bad PR that comes with a massive, single-day purge. Good luck to everyone getting the bad news—take your severance, reach out to your network, and get out of there as fast as you can.

The irony here is palpable. Management talks constantly about record-breaking infrastructure demand and a bright future, yet they’re gutting the workforce the second things look slightly less than perfect. It’s the same corporate playbook every time: protect the stock price and executive bonuses by dumping loyal people right before the quarter ends. If you're still sitting at your desk waiting for 'loyalty' to pay off, you're delusional. Update that LinkedIn profile tonight because they’ve already made their decision about who is expendable.

I've been through three rounds of these 'slow drips' over the last decade, and it never gets easier. It’s always the same story—they cite efficiency and structural realignment, but we all know it’s just about padding the margins for the board members. It’s incredibly draining to work hard every day while watching your coworkers get the rug pulled out from under them. If you’re feeling anxious, you aren't alone. Please reach out to your network now, because once the official invites start going out, the market is going to be flooded with talent.
