Layoffs just happened today..... this is horrible right before the holidays.

It won't be good, but how bad will it be?

Advice for early in career here? Seeing lots of chatter about layoffs and it’s really discouraging to feel like Cisco is not a place I could grow my job. How would I know if I’m on the chopping block?

Or just us, the lowly peons?

A coworker gave PayPal long days, excellent reviews, and barely took time off, but she was still laid off. She's raising two kids on her own, so don't put work ahead of your family thinking it'll pay off someday.

Not a fan of the midnight email, or the “timing will vary” messaging around the upcoming layoffs.
Anyone hearing any swirl in their departments?

So much contradictory info on this.

I’m wondering if anyone has insight into how the company is handling layoffs, particularly when it comes to pregnant employees. Has anyone heard anything or know how layoffs might affect employees who are pregnant or planning to go on maternity leave?

For the past several weeks my LinkedIn has been flooded with layoff posts. The industry seems to be in the cutting mood and that doesn't bode well for any of us. I'm really worried about the future...

Circling above...

It’s not foolproof but might give you an idea if you’re on a list

How did they notify people in the last round? I wasn't paying attention then because we were safe at the time. That's no longer true, so I'd just like to know what to expect.

Is there even a slim chance this is not layoff related?

Hi has anyone received their bonus? I got the severance without the bonus two weeks ago. No info from Centene.

That's it. That's the post.

when was it confirmed layoffs will start today?

Thursday is the 29th.. Will it be this week for Home and Community?

If this is strictly about money and not performance/experience, aren't they going to be the primary target?

Any updates for Sky employees under Global Product org ? We’ve been completely left in the dark about what’s going to happen to us. Are engineers within Sky’s Fraser division likely to be affected more , given that this division is moving to Comcast?

AI chewing up the opex?

Let's validate the education and background of ALL employees. Many of the employees at #chase may have fake degrees and make up experience on their resumes, irrespective of their nationality.

Why doesn't USCIS conduct in-person tech interviews at the consulates or before approving H-1B or other work visas? The companies openly abuse the interview process. They all know that the candidates are not qualified. Managers just want to use their budgets. H1B slaves are the easiest to hire because citizens know their rights and they would question them.

Any word if Senior Analyst roles in HQ are targeted for layoffs next week?

any1 hear anything abt sec orgs reporting up thru Cahrlie

It's funny that leaderships claimed that layoff is performance based.

I think, the moment that was announced, the performance review process would have become compromised.

Review result decides the victims, so do you honestly think managers only judge based on actual performance? That's so funny.

For those who have already been impacted- did your whole team get let go? Did anyone make it through? Maybe it’s that we all have to apply for a reduced number of jobs?

I watched the movie Gladiator II the other day. 2 things struck me: 1) as leaders, be careful whom you trust - they may not have your best interest (or that of the “empire”) in mind 2) it’s much easier to tear down than to build up.

The Virgil quote really resonated with me: “The gates of he-l are open night and day; smooth the descent, and easy is the way. But to return and view the cheerful skies, in this the task and mighty labor lies."

I’m trying to understand the company’s policy and process for potential conflicts of interest in hiring. If a software lead hires their spouse onto the same team, is that allowed under our policies? Are there requirements for disclosure, independent hiring decisions, or safeguards to ensure the process is impartial?

I’m not looking to identify anyone or make assumptions about a particular hiring decision. I’d appreciate guidance on where employees can find the relevant policy and which appropriate channel can explain how these situations are handled.

I’d keep the post free of names, team details, or other information that could identify the people involved. Seeing both people still at work doesn’t by itself tell you what review or decision may have taken place.

Has anyone heard anything about the janitors in center city? Would we be let go

Will PFAS blow over eventually, or is it a permanent drag on 3M? Thoughts?

With all the laidoff, is there a future for Elavon employee at USBank?

Nothing but laidoff

Who do you send examples to that your first line isn’t capable to run your team. I get this place is falling apart but there has to be some outlet to at least provide examples to get to his boss.
