if you’re an account specialist in corporates you might be cooked 8/10. If you haven’t received your RIF notification already well you’re either safe or they’re coming for you too. I mean they’re eliminating directors, managers, and account specialists. So it doesn’t seem like anyone is spared. It seems like a lot of these people are being let go. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter - blur

City: Not specified
State: Arizona

LCS here. Pretty nervous about the immediate future outlook for my group. Is the layoff package generally 3 months, or more or less? And if you find a job within that timeframe do you have to pay it back? Wasn’t with XOM back during the covid layoff, so just wondering how it all went back then.

hink it’s time someone asks the real questions that so many of us on the Medicare/Medicaid Member Services and Provider Services side of UnitedHealth Group are afraid to say out loud.

What is actually going on?
How much longer will any of us have jobs here in the United States?
Why can’t leadership just be transparent with us about the future instead of leaving entire teams in a constant state of uncertainty?

Every day we hear rumors, see teams shrinking, and watch responsibilities shift with no clear explanation. Many of us have built years of our lives around this company, serving members and providers with everything we have. We deserve honesty. We deserve communication. We deserve clarity about what direction this organization is taking and what it means for the people who keep it running.

How many of us are even left in the U.S. doing this work?
And why is it so hard to get straightforward information?

We’re not asking for miracles—just truthful communication and respect for the workforce that shows up every day despite the stress, fear, and unanswered questions.

UnitedHealth Group, we need answers.
We deserve transparency.
And we deserve better than silence.

they are silently reducing people and giving out severance packages already. More to come. Before you ask me how I know. Go to your outlook and lookup “usrifsupport@thomsonreuters.com”. Then ask me again how I know and why I would be d-mb enough to tell you all. Not fear mongering but all I’m saying is just apply and keep your resume updated just in case because this isn’t TR specific and all organizations are downsizing due to AI.

Does anyone have any insight into the job satisfaction and future growth of SWA (Schwab Wealth Advisory)? There are so many job postings open around the country for advisors and managers. Is this a relatively safe division to work in at Schwab?

Is anybody else worried that with the never-ending layoffs pretty much everywhere, even if we manage to find a job we'll be out within a few months because of the first in first out rule? I know everybody is getting rid of seasoned employees, but they have to balance it, and new employees usually pay the price.

I really hope we find out soon what’s going on. I can’t afford to lose my job right now. It’s just one of those tough stretches. I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way.

It's somewhat interesting to me that BofA would go through the entire process of hiring a bunch of tech employees, fire them all after a few months, then post the exact same job opening - complete with the exact same typos as before. The only thing that has changed is the deadline for applying. Churning and burning your way through talent is a good way to scare off legitimate prospects in the future - word gets out.

Edgewell Personal Care told the state Department of Labor and Milford Mayor Tony Giannattasio that 293 jobs will be eliminated as part of the factory's closure, with the first round of layoffs starting in March.

I haven’t felt like we’re building toward anything in ages. It’s all maintenance mode, at best. I’d almost welcome being put out of my misery if the job market weren’t so bleak. No real options out there, so we’re all just stuck. The worst feeling is fearing the loss of a job you don’t like at a company you can’t stand, simply because there’s nowhere else to go right now.

The job market is bad and I haven’t been able to land any offers despite some interviews. Relocation would probably save my job temporarily but it would cost my other’s job as it is not transferable. Anybody faced this situation? What did you do? Also, were you let go after relocation costing both jobs?

Did anyone else get bad year end review score (5) despite be producing and contribute worker? Is I target for the fireing on next layoffs?
Who can help me transferred visa to other company sponsor?

New jobless claims, a proxy for layoffs, increased to 477 in the week ending November 21, up from 418 the week before, the Labor Department said.

I am lucky that I still have job in Dell. But I want to move.
I am waiting for job market to become better for a couple years.
Unfortunately, 2025 could be the best year of job market in the next 10 y.
AI is going to take all of our jobs eventually.

That’s it. Not that I get to work at an exciting company that helps develop and reward me for doing great work. It’s really to a point where I’m just thankful I haven’t been downsized.

Not much to be thankful for, but at least we still have a job, right?

I was offered a promotion but I'd have to move for it. It's not a bad offer, but with all the cuts, I'm a bit hesitant to pack up and move my entire family and then potentially end up jobless. Is this something that actually happens or am I safe at least for a while if I accept?

Use it before you lose it.

Known for its work on Gears Tactics, DOOM 3, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Splash Damage will be making significant job cuts. Staff have been informed and have said so about this on LinkedIn.

I'm done with DXC.

Everything here is built around the next report instead of building something stable. People keep saying we matter, but the decisions never match the words. Offshoring set off a slow slide that everyone felt right away. The culture has not recovered since, and it shows in every corner of the place.

Today I am thankful to work at a company that has and continues to help me provide for my family in a lucrative and very stable fashion for 25+ years.

Has anyone ever been rehired after a PIL?

The company isn’t ruling out additional reductions across different functions over the next two years as it ramps up usage of the technology, according to people familiar with the matter. McKinsey is also closely assessing what tasks can be carried out by AI, the people said, declining to be identified as the details are private.

Hope you still have a job by end of year

I’ve been in tech field sales for 7 years now, is this a dead end career path at this point? I assume I’ll eventually get reduced as well, and it’ll be even bleaker for me to find a new job when it does. What should I be looking to transition into if it is? Sales is all I have experience with.

With all the recent changes, it is difficult to feel settled in your job. Especially when you see roles shifting around or disappearing entirely all the time. It makes planning for the future feel almost impossible. I just wish there was more stability for everyone.

Have not seen any published yet, but I know there have been layoffs.

But I’ll put up with whatever nonsense they throw at us, because there’s basically nothing out there right now. It feels like we’re completely cornered, and I hate that feeling.

I’ve tried to accept that I could be cut any day and just live with it. I’ve been focusing on job searching, but that’s only made me feel more depressed. I can’t shake the spikes of anxiety, and I’m barely sleeping. This has dragged on for so long that it’s taken a real toll on my ability to cope. A couple of days ago I realized I can’t even switch off for an hour. Nothing holds my attention long enough for my brain to actually rest. How are you all dealing with this?

So we have all been stressed but made it thru .I am feeling better since my director told me I should be ok the next round of rifs after the frontier merger.He said we all may have to pick up the extra slack but it will show we are value.

Currently, quite a few fully remote workers are still with the company. Once they got rid of promotions/job growth for remote employees, it seemed like layoffs are imminent. What are the chances that remote employees are let go once RTO 2.0 starts in Feb?

I know plenty of folks here who stay at CVS because there is nothing close by worth jumping to. I get it, the area makes it tricky to move on. I feel that pressure too, like I am glued in place. It wears on you when the job is rough but the options are thin.

What’s with job postings they put up real quick then take down a day later and say the job is canceled?

Trying to sneak an H1-B past everyone?

People who are now working for unions, is there any info on how to get one started where there is non-union only? I see the only people that are gone are basically non-union. Is it good? Why would we not start one?

Just in time for the holidays, many U.S. employers have doled out pink slips. This recent move left thousands of Americans jobless and could have a ripple effect on the economy as a whole.
