Do I even need to say it

Last day 12/31… anyone feel like this is pointing to something larger?

Does anyone know what’s going on? I have a feeling there’ll be even more layoffs at the end of 2025 or early 2026. Also, what do you think of the new CEO?

Another 6 people in my group of 30 got layoffs yesterday from VSE in RA. Came out of nowhere.
Of course they kept some of the more useless people.

I haven't seen anything posted about it. Strangely quiet and quick.

I know there probably isn't a way to know if a RIF is coming for you but thought I would ask if anyone in hindsight saw some clues or saw the writing on the wall ahead of time? I am pretty overworked with responsibilities but have for the last several years reported to different people who do not (and have not made any effort) to learn even at a high leve what I do or take any interest in my work. I assume me being generally overlooked means I will eventually be next but then again maybe not because my supervisory team will not want to pick up my work when I am gone since they are so unfamiliar? I am ready for whatever comes. A little worried that someday Elevance my get rid of sub pay -because why not it is a cost to them- and that worries me.

It feels like there are more unhappy people that went the EOI route due to either being tired of their incompetent supervisor/management, or tired of the never ending “initiatives” that folks dream up. The office politics these last few months has been impressive. You can definitely tell who’s got their suction in the right pit.

All you closing managers be careful
Haywood mall Greenville had armed robbery a few nights ago.still minimum floor coverage even with this risk.

We're supposed to have layoffs on November 20, and yet every day somebody posts about this or that group being affected by cuts. Are people lying or is there really an ongoing pre-layoff happening, and if it is, what's its point?

Something is up. A few of my peers told me they stopped getting their usual invites for calls and meetings. Seems like the process may have already “unofficially” started.

On the floor at BR.. seeing many VPs ,Sr Dr are having meetings that are not work related.

Sr Dr are meeting one by one with this VP.. most likely lists are getting generated.

Layoffs are every other week these days. Gotta cut cut cut those costs. Still need to get under 90k employees. Only 35k more to go. Eventually it will hit the techs, but I’m sure only the junior most people to reduce costs.
Is 90k something that has been officially confirmed as the end goal or are people just guessing?

If an individual is engaged in multiple full-time positions simultaneously during standard working hours (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), to whom or through what channel should such a situation be reported?

This is crazy. Last thread was deleted. Not sure why. there wasn't anything in it that was bad.

Has anyone heard about any layoffs this week? Optum just noticed a lot of nurses . I just saw a coworker who was let go at the beginning of the year and is still looking. It’s really tough out there finding good paying jobs.

Layoffs have already started with multiple Market presidents. Just check Workvivo. Notice there’s some we don’t hear from lately. They gone! These layoffs are starting from the top and trickling down. A lot of Senior Directors and Directors are next. They are keeping them around to deliver the bad news to retail stores. Be aware of any open positions not being filled or weird last minute moves to save good employees from being cut. It’s simple math less stores, less retail employees, less Directors, less R2B and the dominos fall. Be very nervous if you get a calendar invite for a mandatory meeting between Nov18-20. Or if you start to see routine meetings canceled. Most likely you will be impacted in some way. Most executives have some knowledge just look at how a lot of Presidents, VPs, and Senior Directors are silent. That’s because they are already out of the business or will be soon. Go ahead and test it ask about why your President or VP has been off the grid lately.

I have an offer from Carelon in the behavioral health area. I’ve heard the person that heads that business is a good leader (CP) but the person above her I should stay away from in Carelon (BW) I work in a similar field today but this is a promotion and seems like a good opportunity. I’m just concerned about what I’m hearing about the other leader. Any advice.

Was this scheduled already or come up last minute? Seems like there’s some sort of announcement?

saw my SD in the hallway - she looked very upset. I asked her what's up and she pulled me into a room.
She just learned she's out. Layoffs will be 20% across all bands, all BUs, all geos, all everything. SVPs, VPs, stores, GN&T, everything. Looks like I'm on the list, too.

Seeing posts discussing some of the orgs and rumors of how hard they are going to be hit, wondering what it's looking like for GN&T

MISS THE DAYS WHERE WE USED TO BE ABLE TO CALL THEIR HELPDESK AND GET SOME HELP. HASNT BEEN THE SAME AND JUST GETS WORSE. LONG WAIT, WE DONT GET A CALL BACK OR THEY TELL US TO CALL OUR IT AND OUR IT TELLS US TO CALL SHARP. OUR DRS AND STAFF ARE BEYOND FRUSTRATED! I HAVE EMPLOYEES WAITING AROUND FOR ACCOUNTS. HAVE TO WORK EXTRA HOURS TO CATCH UP. AND HERE I AM ON THIS WEBSITE SO I HAVE AN IDEA ON WHAT TO EXPECT. DO BETTER WE’RE YOUR CUSTOMERS TOO!

Hope you didn’t drink the water today…

I find the posts on Linkdin by various leaders at Verizon, to be completely tone deaf. Fancy dinners, and trips to Paris. Sure, it might be work related, but its a real slap in the face to be living it up in luxury while your employees are preparing for the worst. Do better.

Anyone has info on what's being planned? Any layoffs soon?

They're not keeping this a secret. It's right under our noses.

It's coming. Don't know who, but it's coming.

I was laid off a few months after getting both from my last job. I was convinced I was safe, and I was not. I just thought people should know this, because I’m guessing this is true everywhere.

Just the usual garbage from AK to justify current layoffs for future AI growth. If you believe that, you'll believe anything.

Do they spy on your work machine?

Anybody have experience working with them?

Has anyone heard about DE’s plans for Pluto? I’ve seen rumors here that Plutos days may be numbered… but would it make sense to spend all this time and money converging P+ and Pluto to then just ki-l Pluto?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I have come to the belief that the packages going forward are going to be significantly smaller if at all. From the grapevine i hear folks just waiting. Tell us we can leave with a half package and watch how many throw in the towel. No mas! No mas!

ESG seems to be the most popular division at Broadcom. I don’t see any other division discussions here.
Quarter after quarter, shameless ESG is always below the line of doom, like a parasite hogging the host.

Has anybody been pulled out of service for EEO. What takes place and what hoops do you have to jump through. Or are you looking for a new job?

Any truth to the rumor posted here a few weeks ago that all freelance employees are being let go in one swoop? That can’t be true, can it?

Mumble.. mumble... layoff... mumble... layoff... mumble.. mumble... layoff!

This is just my view.

Customer facing roles = Safe
Operational / Back office / Marketing = Not
Mid-Level Reporting / Your job can easily be automated = Not
Band 6 and above (5 to C-Wing) = Nope

Not safe means up to 25-40% reduction.

16 more days and we will know.

Thoughts on new lp?
