I heard that McKinsey has identified a new business vertical for Comcast, something fundamentally different from the businesses the company has operated for decades (more about it below). The proposed restructuring is designed to position us for this... — read more
I am still unclear on how they are SELECTING people for layoffs
Is it only me? I know we had threads on this but still...
CIEC Expansion
Anyone knows how much headcount they are adding? how much space are they adding?
I was marked safe today, this is what I know
First, I want to say how terrible I feel for everyone who was impacted by these layoffs and didn’t want to be. I’ve been thinking about this nonstop since last week’s earnings call, especially knowing that some of my friends were among those... — read more
Leadership Layoffs
With all of the people posting that they lost their jobs this week, why cant people post the leadership names that also got laid off as ell. All SVP's, VP's, Sr Directors and management should be posted they put Comcast in this position and will be... — read more
Who is doing the work after these cuts?
Folks who left their projects were not backfilled - OK, I guess that's the point of layoffs - good job execs. But work continued with CIEC team members joining instead... Is that happening elsewhere? If your team was cut - what work stopped???? What... — read more
Finance all laid off
50 people in finance including VP, Directors, managers and analysts all laid off.
If office attendance affects reviews, can employees see their own numbers?
Comments here say a rolling inoffice average may afffect ratings or promotions, but vacation time is added to the data later. One senior person said they could not access their teams dashboard. If this number matters - employees should be able to see... — read more
Outsourcing Is Destroying the American Middle Class, and Nobody Is Coming to Save Us
The government should heavily tax work outsourced overseas when those costs are billed back to U.S. corporations, but we all know that will never happen. Outsourcing doesn't just eliminate American jobs, it drives down wages, weakens the middle... — read more
Construction is gone
Good luck to those that were let go
Regions
Regions being merged into 4 zones. Everything remaining (sales channels and marketing ops) leaving regions and being brought up to HQ. Except tech ops (maybe)
RVP gone
RVP of finance and business Dev all let go across the country in the regions, along with their directors. HR also gone
CB - Enterprise Field Sales
Major RVP scaling. Sounds like ESD and ESM conversations are happening now. If you have experienced or heard of any field sales impacts please share role & region. I would imagine frontline sales not hitting quota will follow. Wishing everyone the... — read more
For those that have survived day 2
Theme song for today: https://youtu.be/fNFzfwLM72c For day 3, may the odds be in your favor!
The other shoe just fell
1:1 scheduled with HR and VP today. 15 minute - important business update. In CB organization.
The carnage ensues nothing changes at the top
As we move through a horrible week for our employees, there is little reason to believe our most senior executives will change course. As Rome burns, the meetings continue. Sam S. and Jon G., our strategic development and chief growth officer, hold... — read more
Honestly, it’s a blessing in disguise that you’re getting out of this bullsh-t.
Losing a job doesn’t mean losing your value. Sometimes, it’s the push you need to find something much better. Just ask yourself one thing: Were you contributing to this company and making a difference? If the answer is yes, then you can absolutely... — read more
Coworker laid off at 60
We're in construction. I feel like that is unnecessarily cruel. The job market is bad as it is, I can't imagine what it'll be like to have to brave it at that age.
Department with most layoffs?
What departments are mostly affected by this so far? This has me on pins and needles smh
Frontline Workers
Hello everyone! Has anyone heard of any updates for frontline workers? Departments like quota, routing, etc?
When is the main day for other Frontline areas?
Billing, sales, repair, accessibility, or other niche remote groups?
I don't care anymore
Lay me off, don't lay me off. I don't give a flying fu-k. Working here used to be my dream but not anymore. I'm now numb. And I know there are plenty who feel the same way I do.
Is today the main day?
From what I understand, today will see the biggest impact. Can anybody confirm this?
Design and Umia cuts
Sad to see the design team get cuts.. Lost a manager and so far two designers
I’m hearing CB is getting hit right now
Can anyone confirm and add info?
Can you be rehired after being laid off?
Not right away, of course, but sometime down the line?
Thank you!
I just want to thank folks who're taking the time to let us know what's going on, some of them even at one of the worst moments of their lives. It's sad we have to rely on this place to get our info instead of the leadership, but it is what it is. So... — read more
Half my team got their walking papers
What exactly are the rest of us supposed to do, assuming we survive the next few days? We physically can't do all the work with just half the people. Is this how they're going to get rid of the rest of us? Create unbearable conditions and then wait... — read more
Received a meeting invite from my Director
30 minute meeting - i think it's time
Check all team meeting attendees
I noticed we have an unannounced surprise guest from HR (contractor) on a team call this week. I wonder what that’s for? Not part of any team that has been announced here thus far. It’s been a trip!
Think you’re safe after Wednesday…
From what I heard, the laid off employee badges stop working on Thursday. So, it could assumed that all of the announcements will be by the end of Wednesday. Our org is having an impromptu meeting at the end of the week. That jibes with this... — read more
10/27 Layoff Tracking Thread
Layoff tracking for 10/27 - let’s try this again. Please keep chatter to a minimum. Post your region and main group affected if able, remain anonymous. Again, best of luck to everyone out there. This all su-ks.
Why doesn't Comcast declare bankruptcy..
..or relocate to Chennai if they're going to lay off everyone
Are we ever going to get job security back?
Living like this is not healthy. If this continues, I might start hoping to be laid off to get a paid opportunity to find something where layoffs are not omnipresent.
Connect layoffs
Learned of a significant round of layoffs in CONNECT, affecting more than 100 employees. The cuts reportedly include at least two VPs and several Directors (ED, SD, and D levels). Leadership has already been informed, while lower-level employees are... — read more
An algorithm? Based on WHAT?
From PNR - had the meeting this morning. Employees laid off and employees left standing according to an algorithm? That's what we were told. Employees who are spectacular were laid off, employees who are 'good enough' remained. There were employees... — read more
