#department

Layoffs have been making their way into the department, and there keeps being talk that Platinum Service Leads are next amongst coworkers. Management is also really pushing for us to prove we are busy. Just wanted to put it out there and see what people have been hearing.

you can usually tell the power setup in a department within the first 5 minutes of a meeting.

just watch who the boss talks to first. watch who they ask for ideas, who they look to for answers, and who they check with before moving on.

when a boss says stuff like, "jason, what do you thnk??? or "nicole, what is your take?" that tells you a lot. it shows who they trust and whose opinion matters most. that is usually the person with real pull in the room, even if their title does not sound the biggest.

sooo, its simple, pay attention to that person….learn how they think. build a good working relationship with them. a lot of times, that is the person helping shape the real decisions and decides who moves up or down.

If you are impacted by the layoff's today, please share your department and paygrade.

Please post if you are impacted by the layoffs today. Let us know department and paygrade if you feel comfortable sharing.

And we’re going to a consolidated D&C org

Merle Norman is a great option if there are any near you. Commission is much better than belk, without the insane requests for credit, working in other departments, and understaffing.

We had a coffee chat with the director of our department, and they mentioned that most of the LCS projects are likely to be either discontinued or significantly scaled down. At the same time, there’s another initiative emerging informally around DAC using Amines. The person leading this has no knowledge of fundamentals. Another waste of resources.

my opinion, complete waste of time. Department trying to justify their wasted "AI" investment.

Any insight on which depts/teams on the upcoming lists? There are 4 more layoff dates - along with individual layoffs thru Q4 2026.

Anyone have the list they can share?

Sorry to all who have to endure today, remember you are strong, you are worthy, chin up! Please add if you are laid off this week, what department, job title, grade and how many numbers if you know. Good luck.

Does anyone know if bosses can essentially block an associate from transferring to another internal job? No known freezes or limits within the department on transfers.

Give details. Optum is complex so we need more details than just "layoff 03/19"
Which departments? Which lines of business? Clinical or nonclincial? Operations, legal, HR, clinics?

Saddle Creek Logistics Services announced layoffs. The company will lay off 151 employees. This affects its Bessemer location. Layoffs are scheduled to begin on April 30. This information comes from the Alabama Department of Labor.

Bessemer, Alabama

I’m hoping our team is next. Seriously our team serves no purpose to be fair. It could be done by other departments or really just an automation in the system. It’s not survival it’s just the truth. Not sure why they even made this team as it doesn’t even make sense. Literally here collecting until the end because it pays something while looking elsewhere.

All we know is that at least 150 people will be laid off. No details on departments, no official confirmation.

Wondering how they differ among departments, what is your API percentage goal?

Confirmed there will be a huge impact on Irving Risk department next week

post here if you see this too.

Word on the streets is that they’re going to be “restructuring” my department. Anybody on here have that happen to them? Just trying to prepare myself for anything.

Are there any departments/areas more stable?

From my experience, at one time CSO(Chief Security Office) had more(though not complete) stability but that is no longer true.

Any areas exist today that are more stable? departments, sometimes better VPs in some areas.

With the number of major IT incidents after a big layoff event, LC has his whole organization follow his EY friends' direction of making tactical work very visible by spending more time in Azure DevOps (ADO) than actually delivering work.

It's unfortunate that business leaders (as well as his own boss RB) cannot go into ADO and read the ridiculous types of features and stories that IT employees are being forced to put into ADO. A fine tool for developers has been ba----dized into an overwhelming complicated task list, with the CIO having prioritized data quality in ADO as his top item to deliver. There are literally hundreds of thousands of entries, each entry with the expectation of having completeness, with scrum masters and RTEs writing up stories that effectively means "schedule a meeting with stakeholders xyz" with a value of 10 because they had to fill in all these ridiculous fields.

How can RB be OK with this? An entire IT department wasting their lives away..

If you were laid off today or tomorrow check in. What department?

I just heard the entire asset movement department in Operations in St Louis was displaced. Any truth to that?

Hearing rumblings of S&T cuts coming within the next 2 weeks. Any specific sectors/divisions? Assuming the DPA teams that were swept under the rug and consolidated under Dave will be first to go?

Heard several people discussing another re-org in CC, they can't seem to get this dept right. Supposedly they are not happy with current management/ staffing level.

So, today is the day. Let's use this thread to track department and band for anyone JEed today.

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and its contractor confirmed recent employee layoffs. Battelle Energy Alliance initiated an Involuntary Separation Program. This program aims to reduce current workforce staffing levels. Fewer than 1% of INL employees were impacted, totaling under 50 positions. The company stated this aligns the workforce with national and Department of Energy priorities.

If you have been laid off recently, What department were you in and what band level? I see a lot of Evicore people are being laid off. I'm wondering if this applies to any other Cigna preauthorization department? Customer Service reps? IT teams? etc. Also, were you given any notice, or were you laid off immediately without notice? I'm just trying to see where Cigna is going with this. The suspense kinda got me what to just quit and go full force with my side business.

Many of our corporate teams were laid off, but I am hearing some of those who were kept will be placed into other roles?

Within my department, senior managers and below are all in the dark right now. So who is deciding to save who?

Where are the cuts to this useless department?

Rumors swirling but seems all talk no show

Anyone have info?

Which locations are being cut this round? Do share if you have info!

What depts move to Houston?

Instead of having tons of messages, let’s do this:

• Position

• Department

• Years of Service

• Severance Offered

Anybody know how to get offered the severance package if you were moved to another team? I got moved to a new department without any say in it, and I'd rather have the severance instead.

I’ve seen posts about Marketing and Global Distribution. Any others?

Ok.. my understanding is depts such as Hr, finance and IT are vistance networks
So what happens then if Ruckus and aurora networks are both sold off

Who will be impacted?
What departments?

When? Which department?
