Shocking!

How are things going?

When people say I should always be prepared for layoffs, how exactly should I be prepared? If you are talking about mental preparation - no matter how mentally prepared someone is to hear that their name is on the layoff list, it will not be... — read more 

Not trying to spread panic, just checking to see if anyone happens to have any insight when the next round of layoffs might happen. I'm trying my best to get out of here before Ascension starts making new cuts again. Trying to survive layoffs is no... — read more 

I wasn’t at all surprised by the rumors of layoffs because leadership doesn't know what it's doing for some time now. I'll do my best to leave before the cuts start. This company is already missing a lot of people and it is very difficult to work... — read more 

Culling anyone with more than 3.5 or 4 years of experience?

The job market is good. If I'm laid off, that in combination with severance should make the whole experience not as bad as it usually would. Plus, I'm getting tired of having to deal with a bully of a manager so getting cut might end up being a good... — read more 

Layoffs coming summer

It may sound strange that productivity is not important to this company. However, when I take into consideration how they treat employees, that they do not care about their happiness at all, then the only thing I can conclude is that they do not... — read more 

'There’s rumors going around that senior team is going to be let go. TechM and HCL are not performing but I have not heard of them rebidding' "That senior team" meaning on the MSP side or the Ascension side? The SDM team's senior leadership? — read more 

Close, but it's worse than a layoff. MSPs aren't doing nearly as well as Sr Leadership thought. So instead of a layoff, they are going to get rid of one SME and re-bid it. So glad I left when I did. Can anyone confirm that this is true?

Any MSP on here hearing that they’re about to do layoffs on state workers?

It's awful what's going on in this company. Do they really think it could be a good idea to replace someone with a great skillset with an below-average employee who is not even motivated to do his new job? My personal opinion is that if they... — read more 

To many directors with little to no hands on experience will not be able to fix the mess. If a company shows no care or concern towards it's employees then why should employees care about the organization. My thoughts exactly. Obviously, this... — read more

LOL was lounging too mhch

If I somehow knew what I needed to do in order to become a layoff target and get paid to leave, I would do it. I will definitely leave, but I would prefer to get a package as well. I don't know if the right way to get on the layoff list is to... — read more

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest.

Please say it isn't so, reductions to the relationship and demand team..

I’m burned out. There’s too much to do. I don’t envy the HCL crew I was retained and don’t see reason in any of the madness.

I hope it's just a malicious rumor. However, experience tells me that there is little truth in every rumor. I have heard from several people that there could be layoffs soon. Take it with a grain of salt, however if anyone has more information... — read more 

How long will it take for Ascension to clinch their a** cheeks, suck up their pride, admit they failed AT and hire some secretaries to beg and plead for the loyal associates that grinded it out for 10+ years to come back? HCL has no clue what... — read more 

Get to your cover letters. There’s a storm coming and it’s about to change a lot of sh-t

Does anyone else happen to work more than ever and get more criticism than ever? My manager seemed to like it better when I wasn't trying so hard. I fear this might be a warning that I will soon lose my job. I’ve literally been criticized for... — read more 

I was very happy when I got a job here, but now is the time to look for something else. In general, I am comfortable here, but judging by the fact that there is no stability in this company, it is not possible to grow a career here. So I think... — read more 

I am definitely disappointed and I have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible. Am I really asking too much if I would like to have a supportive boss? The one who will not harass and hinder me with his meaningless micromanagement, but... — read more

Why does it seem to me that after the last great layoffs, those who survived would prefer that they were cut as well? My opinion is that it is worse here now for those who survive layoffs than for those who are cut. Everyone who got cut is now in... — read more

I read there were many memorable moments lately....those of us that were canned after decades of service would love to hear how things are going. So we can laugh in Ascension's general direction.

Really? You didn’t see this coming?

What do you expect to happen when you replace seasoned professionals with rank IT amateurs.

Severance won’t last long and neither will I.
