Any way to know how many are still left to be notified?

Can someone tell me why it takes the managers anywhere from three weeks to three months to approve pto?

Heard that there is an announcement today. Wonder if it’s going to be massive layoffs??!

Assigned to a location officially on RTO letter but chose Dallas instead. Will I get axed for moving to a location other than the RTO specified one? I feel like I will get axed for that but supervisor does not think so and yes I asked multiple times. Anyone in the same boat?

So I am a bit confused why would mass layoffs happen right before open enrollment? Who is going to handle that when 1) people voluntarily leave 2) people are still going to get laid off after that 3) I doubt Centene would get back 2 million members from this enrollment period.

Be mindful of the 20 or so people from sales who will be laid off next week
Thoughts and prayers

I've seen multiple people placed on PIPs in the last six months. It's making me nervous. Is this just how things work here? Or is it a strategy to document people out the door so they don't get severance? I'd really like to know if I'm being paranoid or if this is a legitimate concern.

I wonder if there's anything the leadership thinks is truly essential.

In the last several layoffs, our team lost everybody above 50, and even two people in their late 40s. The rest of us are all here. I don't know if this is the case company-wide, but it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. Really shows us there's no future for any of us here once we hit a certain age.

Lots notices this past week.

Washington State University Vancouver faces a mandated 15% budget cut. This reduction totals over $6 million for the campus. University leaders approved these significant cuts on Wednesday. Faculty and staff fear the cuts will lead to mass layoffs. The campus previously avoided layoffs despite past budget reductions.

Where is the person who said he was going to create a new thread after speaking to teamster? Did he or she flake out?

Dow is implementing global job reductions as part of its Transform to Overperform plan. These layoffs are now affecting employees in Midland, Michigan. Dow plans to reduce 4,500 global positions throughout 2026. The company has not disclosed specific numbers for Midland. The community feels uneasy about the potential local economic impact.

Crabtree is in dire straits
Employees (managers, associates) literally walking out.

Why is it mostly us at Optum that have to worry about our jobs all the time? There are many GL 30 and 31 with no directs over at UHC, while at Optum GL29 has 15 directs. Seems they need an alignment.

Another 67 employees probably have zero job..

Why have these not been reported? The number of layoffs in 2026 alone are staggering but when done a handful at a time it just seems shady.

I've heard there are some teams and people with various BH licenses not being allowed to make calls and do their role "while they look into it". Supposedly someone noticed something and now they are questioning if they are even allowed to make the outreaches. The timing is fishy. Anyone else heard this or having the experience? I don't feel secure in my role at all.

Why am I getting calls to my personal phone number?

Not wanting to raise the alarm bells but take a look at Verizon layoffs if you want an idea at how unpopular the new CHRO has been and get ready for inane posts on LinkedIn featuring vacuous slogans

After yesterday's 10% cut I can't help but think that all we are to this company are chickens saved at the sla-ghterhouse. We are good until the next round but at the end of the day we are still chickens.

Please be careful with how specific you are on here, especially about “inefficiencies” or even confusion in your areas. Some of the recent comments feel like fishing attempts by the people who are trying to cut staff.

Keep it general enough to stay safe.

PS. I set out a Pennies for Penny jar by Trailblazers. She needs our help!

Baystate Health recently implemented workforce reductions. These layoffs affected staff in 22 different departments. Longtime employees and information technology workers were impacted. The Massachusetts Nurses Association voiced concern about the job cuts. The union also has an ongoing contract disagreement with Baystate Health.

Extremely worried about the future here. Uncertain times. Will these centers survive?

How sc--wed am I?

Some managers and dirs just do follow ups, just they pressure on developers to deliver data to meet deadlines. They didn't even know proper architecture, business, no proper direction to dev's and some even don't know basic git commands. I don't know how are they even surviving in this org.

I can’t believe these people are the leadership.

I’ve literally heard nothing about engine in my functions for months. Anyone have insight into it? Is it working? Or is it like agile, and we’ll just all forget it, and it’s associated magical thinking, ever happened?

Just to confirm, this will be implemented to track us and help them get rid of us?

But why not Ajay?!

Should we worry that there are more cuts today after all? Could he be wrong?

Citi is on a path of steady decline. It will keep shedding employees, it will keep shrinking until there's barely anything left of what once was. And then even that small remaining piece will collapse and take whoever is still there with it. So here's my advice. If you're smart, you won't wait around for that to happen. You'll be long gone before the end.

How likely is it that they eliminate administrative staff? On the one hand, they wouldn't function well without us, on the other hand they constantly underestimate how much operational impact we have. I'm just getting tired of worrying about job stability every couple of years. Maybe it's time to take the exit. IDK...

Sooner its gone the better. Does anyone know when?

Is anyone fed up with the rampant stupidity of this group? Forget diligence because that would mean they would need to actually work but what loser approved cerevasc? That company is a scam and these mo--ns in corp dev are clueless who keep repeating the same old tricks again and again to drive the company into the ground

Just had asset protection visit our office and do a presentation on how reports and investigations are handled!
I have been here 27 years and I have never seen these guys show up somewhere in person and usually you didn't even know they were here!!
Very suspicious they would even have a meeting with our group, has anyone else had this happen to them?
they even had a Q and A session after on their procedures.

Is this Invest Cloud partnership in Wealth all smoke and mirrors? Is wealth being sold to Invest Cloud?

Someone mentioned on this forum not long ago that the executive board wants to take the share price below €100 so they can have more layoffs. It seems it's on track to do that. This AI obsession with price increase makes no sense. What is the tipping point for them to start layoffs?

Having 2 months to dread on this is horrible. Has anyone heard any numbers on how many people they need to remove? Departments getting hit? Anything?
If you're taking the VSP, what company are you trying for?
