#exit

Welp... 20 years in, have a 15 minute meeting with my Director in 20 minutes... VCG Ops

"The company continues to evaluate the strategic positioning of its Medicaid portfolio, and recently reached an agreement with officials in DC to exit its Medicaid market. Boudreaux said to expect additional exits over the next 12 to 18 months...

Knowing what's coming, knowing they'd most likely be able to leave with a package, why are they so quick to leave? I'm genuinely curious.

Zayo is bringing in former VZ leaders and setting the stage for Verizon to purchase them. This is their exit strategy. The new CEO came from the consulting industry and will help facilitate this

This call taking place right now just further justifies why she needs to go.

Morale is zero, will they keep the circus for much longer?

I said to my now ex manager I am done, i just want exit pkg so I can focus on starting interviews because thinking every day is it today for months is not healthy.

He is no longer manager soon so I guess we might be on similar exit paths.

So US cuts done right what about EU and Israel?

left for role with soon to be mostly ex client ages ago, had some leftover cr4p that this company never bothered to pick up and they never responded to the original email so thought no bother, I sent my laptop back and thats all that mattered

out of the blue, get an email from "iron mountain" basically instructing me to package EVERYTHING the company sent me, including mice, keyboards, headsets and from covid the desk that Ive built my room around

if you get anything similar just tell them youve disposed of everything already and indicate you have no business with them
they have no power over us now

My understanding, when they decide it's your turn, they cut access to corporate emails and any company system. Do they send email to personal mailbox? Or do they reach out via phone call/message?

Anyone have experience negotiating your exit from a HQ role? Not getting laid off. Leaving on your own terms when you and your leader agree the work has changed enough to not fit. Open roles are scarce for my intended trajectory.

I think the endless surgical layoffs and toxic environment are designed to make people quit. Don't fall for it. Make them pay you to leave if that's what they want.

I got out and my life changed overnight. You have no idea how much of your anxiety is caused by this place until you leave.

for example, the head of Microsoft Security

4000 ready to move on, while the next round coming soon.

I expect to get PIP’d in a couple of weeks. Are there any disadvantages of taking PIL and retiring vs simply retiring?

Does taking PIL affect retirement status or any retirement benefits?

Get ready for independence from CDW day. If the past is an indicator of the future, Tuesday or Wednesday will be the day. If your boss or Director is ignoring you, that’s your number one sign to pack it up.

Itai, if you’re reading this, it’s time. He has to go. Just do it.

Comments if your exit date is set as your departure (taking the package), Or choosing to roll. There are few internal jobs posting but not sure if real or posted just for fake pretend. I applied for every job I could, over 100 internal jobs. Four interviews, but no offer.

Tough job market currently, hope few land.

Those of us taking VSP should wear a Hoody on our last week in conference calls in honor of the fearless leader. 😄

Do you know when do we lose system access if we're laid off? The moment we're notified or at a later time?

After many, many years it is my time to leave the stage coach. I ran to the store, bought myself some drinks and floated in the pool with friends. It’s a great day

This is the perfect moment to think about exiting. Leadership has shown their true colors. We know they don't value people, but only care about their own bank accounts. Our reputation is completely shot and new talent won't touch us. Time for us to start looking out for ourselves.

PIL sweetening the pot in the way out the door

While I have survived tons of RIFs, I have never seen this company or the company I came from when we merged, offer a VSP. I’m tired. I’m sick. I am ready to leave so I applied.

Anyone else did? Yes? No? Considering? Thoughts or theories about this? Share it!!

Resigned but manager ignoring, last day of notice is next week. If he doesn’t acknowledge my resignation in workday and I still don’t get off boarding or any kind of acknowledgment of resignation or instructions , can I just walk my laptop to tech express and give badge to security last day? This is ridiculous behavior for a company that “loves attrition”, make it, make sense!!

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...

No press release from PayPal yet but they are usually asleep so no surprises there.

Seems at least one person got the axe on March 31

When will invites for July layoff happen ?

Idk why no one read or listened to the “London Calling” episode…. VSP offers expire 7/1. They’ll base the number of the layoff based on how many people took VSP’s. Everyone who is gonna be laid off will be notified by the beginning of August. Emails with offers are going to most everyone, you’ll get an email at some point today. It’s in waves. If you’re already having a foot out the door, take the offer and ready to move on from Centene, take the offer.

Like seriously, go! It’s time to leave.

I'm curious what type of communication was sent to employees about the exit and new CEO. Hopefully they have an all hands and give reassurance.

Reports have shown that the average data center has a turn over of 7 years. After 7 years, you either add to, scale out or build a bigger better revamped datacenter. For AI, the estimated average is every 2-3 years at 1 billion (or more) each time.

Companies are now looking for ways to back out of it after already throwing 500 million or more into it without looking like it was a mistake. Dare I say they are using AI in order to try to figure out the best spin control to justify pouring money into AI and NOW trying to back out of it. LOL

Is or does Citi fall into this category? I dunno but I do know that other companies are pumping the brakes just a bit and are looking at exit strategies.

Either gonna quit or possibly just thug it out

When? Plan to leave after!!!!

After accepting a job at Optum, be sure to have a solid exit plan within 12 months. This is about how long it will take them to decide to replace you.

Pattern: Hire, layoff, replace, repeat.

Other pattern: Hire, layoff, AI, ??!?

Restructuring is constant. It does not matter if you are a high performer. They hire a consulting firm to evaluate demographics of employees when conducting layoffs to prevent discrimination lawsuits. May the odds be ever in your favor.

How secure are you in your job ?
My day to day has been completely replaced with codegen.
Everything from coding, reviewing and analysis.
I havent used my brain in months, everything is done by AI.
Its a blessing and a curse.

As soon as they can resolve the issue with accountability, you will be made redundant and unemployable.

What is your exit strategy ?
