Layoff Report

Anyone else hear about the Tennessee cuts? Is this just the start?

I saw the WARN notice for the Madison County office—84 people gone effective early August. It’s frustrating because leadership keeps preaching 'efficiency' and 'strategic realignment' while the rest of us are left holding the bag with double the workload. I’ve been at MS for four years and the atmosphere has shifted from high-performance to constant anxiety. Are we expecting another round of these localized cuts in Q3 or Q4? The silence from management is deafening. I'm worried that 84 is just the tip of the iceberg and they’re doing these rolling layoffs to avoid a massive headline. If you're in the TN office or support those teams, how are you handling the headcount shuffle? Personally, I’m brushing up my resume this weekend. It’s getting harder to justify the grind when you don’t know if your desk will be there in three months.

I've been tracking these filings too. It’s the same old story every quarter—executives talk about optimization while gutting the people who actually keep the lights on. It’s no longer about growth; it’s about squeezing every bit of margin out of existing headcount to appease the street. The mood is definitely toxic right now, and honestly, if they are pulling the trigger on these specific regional hubs, it’s a sign that the overhead targets are much more aggressive than anyone is admitting. Keep your resume updated, because this trend doesn't look like it's stopping anytime soon.

Look, it sucks, but this is the reality of working at a firm of this size. They prioritize the bottom line over everything else, and 'strategic alignment' is just their go-to euphemism for layoffs. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for an internal announcement or any kind of transparency from management. They’ll keep quiet until the next round of cuts hits. If you're feeling the anxiety, start looking elsewhere now. It’s better to have an exit strategy in place before your specific department becomes the next target on their spreadsheet.
