#layoff

If EJ wanted to improve their financial standing they would lay off lazy FAs and replace with people who were willing to work. So many of us are being laid off because of lazy FAs who drink the koolaid.
I’m east of St. Louis and can name many of them that never show up to work and “work from home” but their numbers are awful.

Any info on the South Region (WellMed, Optum Florida) RIF?

Any tips? Things I should ask?

Bahama Breeze is a casual dining brand. The company is exiting South Florida. Its parent company is restructuring the chain. This restructuring includes a statewide layoff. A total of 377 employees are affected

Another sc-m move laying off people before rsu's vest

So lots of managers laid off last week.. and the team members were moved to various new managers... How much time do we have ? 1 week? 6 months? Decades? And BAU?

Whose employers maximum workforce size along with the maximum permitted layoffs.

All those layoffs to fund a Backstreet Boys commercial in the Stupor Bowl?

Well, I think we are still named Optum learn but we might be changing to TIE. My question is do any of you out there know if more layoffs are coming to Optum Learn ? I too put in too many hours and think no way they could do without me. However, I have seen several people let go that were way better than me and it just doesn’t make sense.

Did anyone got an email to work from home tomorrow as I got it just now. Is this indication for layoff ?

Somethings will change after the Feb. 12 meeting. Some may be laid off and given a package. Take it. Far better than going to infinite.

Right way to lay off: SAS - notice and generous compensation
Wrong way to lay off: WP - no advance notice, no compensation, employees left stranded in war zones

~80% of employee count.

I know a few folks who were recently fired for ridiculous things. That's been my biggest fear lately. Being laid off at least leaves us with some kind of a safety net. I'm not trying to minimize the impact of what's coming, just saying that sadly, it's no longer the worst possible option.

What happens to BTO if laid off? Are you refunded for the amount you’ve paid into so far?

Asking for obvious reasons.

Layoff sometimes gets you out of bad environment what doesn’t work for you or the employer for various reasons. Regardless whether layoffs will transform Walgreens or not depends on who they keep and who they layoff. Some time it may seem like easiest thing for the decision maker to do is ask the management but what if poor management is what is hindering the company from making progress. Anyway, the best thing to do right now is wait for the changes. Recheck if you see light at the end of the tunnel after they make changes if you are still there. If you don’t like the changes and you did not get picked for layoff with severance package you hoped for then you should look for new job so you can make your life better. With that, the ball is in their court to take proper steps including re-organization, office that works for all, right person in right role etc.

Staying positive and hoping for the best is all you can do. Hope you all have a great weekend now. Don’t pay attention to all the chats and catch a great movie tonight or watch the Superball. But come back brave tomorrow.

As long as I'm given decent severance, I'll happily leave this place behind. I don't see anything positive in Oracle's future, at least when it comes to employees, so getting out sooner rather than later would be a win in my book. Again, as long as I get paid to leave.

If you get laid off and your manager insinuates he/she had no choice he’s a fu--ing useless liar (common for Danaher managers with no ba--s). It means he doesn’t care because he is a coward, didn’t fight for you, or wanted you gone. That and he decided to rate you low on potential for whatever reason.

Don’t ever listen to these corporate frauds who tell you ‘it’s above their pay grade or head’ or some other nonsense.

It was THEIR fault and equally your bosses boss. So those two are the ones who should be targeted when you seek revenge.

I’m really tired of the Stockholm syndrome and delusion of some employees here thinking their manager is an angel and on their side when these events happen. They aren’t.

I thought it was a good idea to keep piling on extra work to make myself layoff-proof. Instead, I'm now drowning, my work quality is significantly suffering, and I've set an unsustainable standard. I might have actually made myself a target by being stretched too thin.

Since they announced the layoff at 3pm on Weds, and laid everyone off by 2pm Thursday, wouldn’t that violate the WARN Act? Don’t they have to give a 60 day notice?

Anyone else just wants a package at this point? I rather take the money. Leave this place and search for a new job with a long paid break. I think they purposely don’t pay us enough to make enough to save and leave.

Taking into account the company's cash position, have you considered the possibility that you may not even get a severance?

It would be better to layoff people who don’t want to be there. The people who are cheering for layoff because they don’t like being there. These are people they should pick for layoffs. They are going to leave anyway. They are not motivated. Have low morale because they don’t like the changes. The people remote also qualify for layoff. People who have average of 2days or less RTO should also be qualified for a layoff. People who have been at walgreens for years and have a high salary should also qualify for layoff. People close to retirement should also qualify for a layoff. Managers that don’t manage and don’t contribute should also qualify for layoffs. Overall, I think we may have 1500 people like that. Then what you have left is people who wanted to stay and like to work.

To those who have been RIF'd, I'm sorry. I hope that you find something better.

Does anyone else experience the guilt when you are left when other are cut??

Looks like Aetna has layoffs. Anything on the PBM/Retail side?

Go to any of the other banks' board on layoff.com and it's the same as Citi - people complaining about RIF's, forced low rankings, little raise completely out of touch with modern inflation and lowered bonuses...bank of america, JP, Wells, BNY, State Street. All of those boards look identitical to Citi's layoff board. Yet, bank's profits, including Citi, are high and stocks at record highs.

What's the issue for such low employee morale at big banks?

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.

Q1 2026

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey will lay off 242 employees by April 26. A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filing confirmed this. The cuts slice away nearly 5% of the company's U.S. workforce.

People were cut across some businesses .. what have u guys heard? I saw and heard people where I am pushed out

Tons of rumors about layoffs starting Wednesday or Thursday, followed by a town hall. And/or significant re-organization. What groups are you hearing will be impacted? Are there any areas deemed "safe" from layoffs? Feels like something big is about to happen.

I am reliably informed that Stevie is next in line to be laid off, he’s off to HP to accelerate their downfall. When 2 dumpster fires collide.

At the current scale, multiple layers of management are not required. For teams of approximately 50 employees, one manager is sufficient to ensure effective supervision and decision-making. Maintaining additional management layers leads to unnecessary overhead and increased costs without proportional value.

I was layed off AFTER thw all clear email went out. Way to break my heart..
