Regions layoffs - January 31 round

Just saw the official filings hit for the January 31st cuts. It’s 142 people based on that MS WARN notice from November. Honestly, it feels like the drip-feed approach is the new strategy here so they don’t have to deal with a massive PR headache all at once. Anyone in the impacted groups know if this is the end of it, or are we expecting another wave in Q2? The silence from leadership is deafening, as usual. We’re all just sitting here staring at our internal directories waiting to see who’s missing from the team meetings next. It’s getting hard to justify staying when the culture shift feels this toxic. If you were part of this round, hope you’re landing on your feet somewhere better.

The drip-feed strategy is honestly the worst part of it all. It keeps everyone on edge, constantly checking the org charts and wondering if they’re next. It’s incredibly demoralizing to go into work every day not knowing if your role is being phased out in the next 'batch.' I’ve been through these cycles before, and usually, the silence from management just means they are still finalizing the numbers for the next round. Don’t hold your breath for transparency; they are definitely keeping their cards close to their chest to avoid the negative publicity that comes with a mass layoff.

It is brutal watching the numbers climb. I think you hit the nail on the head regarding the PR strategy. By breaking these cuts into smaller pieces, they avoid the WARN act triggers and stay under the radar of the media, which protects their stock price in the short term. However, the culture here is completely gutted. Everyone I talk to is already updating their resumes and looking for exits because nobody trusts leadership anymore. If you are still in a vulnerable group, start networking now, because the 'end' of these layoffs is rarely what they claim it to be.
