Hundreds laid off between yesterday and this morning, mostly managers and directors
Potential Impact to M1/M2 Roles
There’s been a lot of discussion about potential cuts at the director level and above. Has anyone heard anything about whether M1 and M2 positions are expected to be impacted as well?
CB HR hit first?
Hearing that there were multiple Directors let go on the CB HR team - anyone hearing more from that group on if it has moved past HR yet?
Anyone hear anything about Comcast Advertising?
I work in CA and last week we had an “Important Update to the Organization” call where Rooke told us the Freewheel and universal ads are being spun off to NBC and preached BAU. Any word on how layoffs will impact CA?
In-office requirement and EOY reviews
Anyone else join one of the people leader trainings this morning and hear how in-office attendance is tied to year end reviews? How does a leader track their team’s attendance/keep employees informed if they don’t have access to the tracking... — read more
More Info
I think some of the previously posted info on layoffs is inaccurate or trolling. What I know: The layoff notifications will occur after the earnings call this week. For large scale layoffs, there needs to be 60 days notice and these layoffs will... — read more
I DONT Feel Well.
I don't know if anyone else can relate but I'm suffering hair loss, weight loss and inability to function day to day. The severance is a joke and will only cover 3 months rent and they tax the living daylgihts out of it from what iv heard . I know... — read more
Layoff Schedule
20k is the number. Around 15%. Will be announced on the earnings call Thursday along with a major announcement regarding the future of Comcast. I personally hope it’s Roberts stepping down. Monday will be the first people notification and... — read more
We don't need their confirmation
Everyone saying we haven't had confirmation needs to wake up fast. The company is losing close to 500k subs a quarter and its increasing close to the millions. Stocks are worth nothing. Thats all you need to know. Stop waiting for answers you won't... — read more
Where Is the Connectivity Strategy?
If connectivity is the company's strategy, why is the product organization mostly investing on entertainment? Shield came from Growth, not from Product. Whats in the product roadmap for connectivity? Anyone understands the strategy at all?
Do companies even respond to applications anymore?
I sent out about twenty applications ten days ago, just to test out the waters. I got nothing in response. Literally, nothing but crickets. It’s been a while since I last applied for a job so is this how things work now? Not even a rejection... — read more
Layoffs
Layoffs to happen again in Q2 and every year after until comcast is bought or merges.
HQ Badge Access (CTC) Expiring This Week (Early) Seems like a "Mistake"
Received a text from the Comcast Emergency Notification System saying there is a "software" issue with badge access across the company. My friend's team had contractors who were let go, and their badge access stopped working weeks before they were... — read more
It's about time
It's about time they gutted out all these incompetent "leaders". Place is run by mentally ill 2 faced frauds. It's about time. I hope the executives bank out and cash in. Karma
When are managers informed?
Are managers typically informed ahead of time if someone on their team is being let go, or do they find out when the employee does?
Why do people hate Comcast so much?
Yes, layoffs are awful, but show me another company of this size that didn't have major layoffs in the past several years. It's sadly the new normal for all of us in the industry, and frankly, in the entire economy. I still like my job here. It pays... — read more
When will we be told more?
Things like which groups and teams will be affected, which locations, how many people, if there'll be any changes to severance...stuff like that. What's with the lack of transparency?
Beltway Retail
Curious, is retail miserable in other regions like it is in Beltway? Managing a retail store is already a nightmare in itself, but myself and other store managers can almost never get a straight answer on anything. We’re told in public spaces to... — read more
Layoff Swap
If I remain after the layoffs, could I trade my fate with an affected colleague in the same org for their sake?
Comcast is Surgical
We all know the company is collapsing, automating and outsourcing. Comcast Advertising is laying off everyone at all levels rapidly. Christ they laid off the GM last year and dismantled fulfillment and ad copy. Xfinity and Comcast Business are in... — read more
Want Employees to Stop Posting? Change What They’re Experiencing.
One executive told us to have a “challenger mindset.” Now employees are challenging leadership, and apparently this wasn’t what they had in mind. Suddenly, we’re whiners. It’s all speculation. This place is unhealthy. Stop reading. Stop... — read more
yall literally everything here is speculation and making your anxiety worse
not a single thing I've read here is confirmed or verifiable information. everything is speculation. E.g. we don't even know for sure if there will be 2 rounds of layoffs. focus on what we know, speak with your leadership, and stop reading this... — read more
How is the layoff list made?
Who makes the decision? Who provides inputs?
Xfinity Communities
Communities is one of the growth areas in Comcast, maybe one of the only growth areas. Anybody know about cuts there?? Asking for a friend
The bright side
Anyone laid off can at least take some solace from the knowledge that their departure directly helped to fund A Beautiful Ballroom in D.C. So in a way it was worth it, right? https://archive.is/Xn3In (Comcast $7.5M)
The company is failing
It's failing in every way imaginable, including failing its employees and its customers. Smart people are already looking for a way out.
AT&T all over again
This is AT&T all over again when they laid off 28,000 people in less than 2 years. And quadrupled executive bonuses within that timeframe.
Do Regional VPs know?
Do VPs within the regions already know who from their org will be impacted?
Cybersecurity layoffs
Does anyone know if layoffs are coming to the cybersecurity org specifically?
I was laid off today
Strategic Data Analyst here 14 years with the company gone. I know Orlando got hit too recently. Good luck everyone it's already begun.
In 2 weeks we will know our fate!
What an unfortunate situation we have all had to deal with since Sept 9th. Armstrong’s comments at the Goldman Sachs conference signaled a massive corporate restructuring. The disruption and lack of communication has been real and the anxiety... — read more
Is better to get laid off or stay?
I’m honestly not sure.
But we don't have the money to keep all the employees
Comcast Donated $7.5 Million for Donald Trump’s Lavish New White House Ballroom https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/comcast-funding-trump-white-house-ballroom-1236913205/
Severance details
Anyone know what the package entails/has entailed in the past?
All Hail King Brian
Comcast is more the Roberts family business than any of you all realize. Brian holds one third of the all voting power. This company's direction is based solely on his whims. Buying Sky was Brian's idea. Top 5 worst corporate acquisition of all... — read more
From HR Insider..internal email is goes out 10/26 with Official Notices going out until 10/29
Heard from a HR friend that internal email with headcount reductions is the 26th with the official notices going out 29th. We are stilling getting our bonuses maybe as a way to soften the severance?
Comcast: Where Office Politics Is a Full-Time Job and Technical Skills Are Optional
I have worked in the IT industry for many years, across different organizations, and I have rarely experienced this level of workplace politics and favoritism. The culture of personal favors, excessive people-pleasing, informal alliances, and... — read more
Devil's advocate
Playing devil's advocate, are the managers and below the problem and not the leadership?
