Managed Out Through Annual Review Process
Another poster mentioned, in another thread, that Comcast NBCU may try to reduce headcount through the annual performance review process. I’m concerned this is happening to me. Last year, I got a glowing year-end review from my manager but my... — read more
Now that I've calmed down, I can almost laugh about this
Someone signed off on my layoff on my birthday. Definitely not the present I was hoping for. I keep wondering if the person knew it was my birthday. Not that they'd have cared, but I really would like to know.
Q1 RSUs WILL Vest

Do people that are staying think they are safe?
I was severed, last day end of the year. It is amazing how many people in my department think they are safe. Maybe its just coping at its finest. They are next, department still way too bloated.
Full McKenzie happening
I never understand bringing in a consulting company, like McKinsey, to tell management what to do. Maybe it is the wrong management team if they don’t know? Or the wrong management team if they let Comcast get into this spot. Remember, “I like the... — read more

Comcast was a good company.
It is easy to be a good company when the business is growing. The real colors come out when times are tough. Comcast was good. Enter competition and management denial finally over. Hatchet job and dump employees as fast as you can. Who would rank it... — read more

News Outlets?
Is anyone else feeling frustrated reading these news outlets? I know that the impact is far greater than what’s being reported. For instance, it’s being portrayed as if there were only about 1,000 layoffs, when in reality, it’s much more significant... — read more

Any insight on retail stores.
Seems like everything is hush-hush on the retail side of things. Are they planning on cutting reps and ASMs in-store?
Total of people affected?
Does anyone know a total headcount that was affected? Seeing the new numbers with PA, NJ and WA alone has me wondering. I would think the new hires and the people that can “reapply” will have knowledge of coding.
Used to work there
Ive been stalking LinkedIn since everything on here is so vague. One manager in particular that is lazy and I'm not sure how he got where he is, is still there commenting on others posts that were laid off, saying he will miss them. smh. Was hoping... — read more

Who's going to pick up all this work?

Severance lowered??
Now im hearing that these sc-mbags lowered the severance packages to only 1 week per year served, instead of the 10-16 weeks depending on full time pay band Is this true across the board?
