#layoff

Just had a contractor on our team let go and had the vendor tell her that layoffs by EOW next week. Anyone hear of this?

Any rumors for next round and where it’ll be focused?

I received exceptional ratings but zero RSUs which is atypical to years past. A bit worried if this lack of long term comp incentive implies anything.

Per the legally binding agreement between Cummins, the unions and the government, people laid off end March would receive severance payments of 3 or 6 months depending on age and/or seniority. At this point, Cummins failed to pay and hr replies with very vague messages to people enquiring.
The unspoken plan to let the entity go bankrupt without honoring the social plan seems to become reality.
But remember.... 'they care about you'!

Well folks the day has come as my last day here at fidelity. To this community I want to say thanks for the entertainment and the small pockets of actual true facts warning on layoffs. To those affected by the layoff I wish you the very best and hope for a speedy bounce back to a job less toxic and more pay. To those still at fidelity I hope you guys make it through the sh-t show that has ensued.

That’s what it’s starting to look like. Seems a little self-defeating to me, but what do I know, I’m just a measly peon, right?

Seriously, everyone should be updating their resume and be actively looking, and when you find something you like get the he-l out because if you wait till the day of that unexpected TEAMS call you will be fu@ked. At this point I would not be expecting any kind of a severance package. What little money they have will go to pay the Sr. Exec group their high 6 and 7 figure payouts before it all crashes.

Decent advice from @ep+1kr20x9vq.

I’ve been hearing rumors that Verizon may be closing additional stores in June. Does anyone know if there’s any truth to this, or is it just speculation at this point?

Its one thing to be laid off but IMO severance is a slap in face. 3 months for 9 years+ employment. For those of us over 20 years employment to get 3 months severance ...seems wrong.

I hope that everyone is prepared for what's about to happen at Dow. The sla-ghter will begin post LPGA tour. Dow cannot afford to mu---r it's workforce right before all their customers and vendors come into Midland. So the bloodshed will happen right after. If you're in leveraged logistics, purchasing, or customer service... You best be looking for a new job.

Remember, Dow isn't a family. Your boss isn't your friend. Everyone is just glad it's happening to you and not them.

Remember, you don't have to sign a severance agreement on the spot. No matter how much they push, you get time to review. Request your personnel file under the right to know act, and never participate in your exit interview.

The last is the biggest.. They don't care about your opinion or your experience at Dow. If they did, they would have asked you before firing you. They are gauging the likelihood of you suing them. Anything you say can be used against you if you decide to pursue legal action. My suggestion is when you get called into that HR meeting, record the whole thing on your phone. Michigan is a 1 party consent state. The meeting will be hard to digest and a recording of it will help. Just don't publicize that you're doing it. Also be really annoying and take notes. The best thing we can do is publish a bunch of termination meetings from Dow to show everyone what it's really like.

HR and your boss already know and have planned your termination. They spring it on you out of the blue hoping to catch you off guard and unprotected. They have a game plan on how to handle you. Nothing you say will change their mind, you're gone no matter what you say.

Cybersecurity company SentinelOne plans to lay off hundreds of employees. The cuts are expected to affect approximately 10% of its global workforce. This totals around 300 employees worldwide.

Do layoffs work like trash days? When there is a holiday, trash pick-up comes a day later than the regular scheduled day. Monday was a holiday this week. Does that mean layoffs will be Friday, May 29 instead of Thursday, May 28?

When do we think the next big layoff is going to be? So many reorgs happening rn

Every conversation comes with a little reminder that they can let you go whenever they feel like it. You are never secure or safe and they want you to know that. It's a control tactic and it is draining every bit of energy I have left.

According to estimates, the move is part of a broader global round of cuts, with the Israeli operation expected to be affected as well. PayPal’s Israeli site currently employs between 200 and 250 workers, most of them data scientists and software engineers. In addition to cybersecurity systems, the local teams also develop core components of the company’s user experience and mobile applications.

And when that happens, it tells you all you need to know about this place. It means being unemployed and uncertain is somehow less stressful than staying here one more day. Think about how bad things have to get for that to make sense. That is where we are now.

What has been your experience with Delta Dental of Virginia?

That’s not a light from an opening, it’s a train

Looks like I survived another month. Should I be more proactive and schedule a meeting with my supervisor and HR, and ask for my severance?

When do you receive your severance ?

I am about to get laid off as IFP. I want to just continue career at Cigna as I am familiar. But where else to apply to? All other healthcare companies like Blue Cross and others?

I've never been laid off, I have no idea how these things work and I have a bad feeling about today.

I have heard from other co-workers that there will be more layoffs next month in June to close out the first half of the year. When I pressed them further they failed to elaborate. I am a care coordinator and my state is Kentucky. We do Medicaid and I do know that is under pressure but my thought is any layoffs would happen early next year in 2027. Maybe the company is getting a head start and going to lay us off early and have a termination date near the end of 2026.

The article provides guidance on preparing for potential job layoffs. Financial experts recommend having three to six months of emergency cash saved. It is important to review severance packages and secure benefits. Individuals should also track retirement plans and consider rolling them over. Creating a budget and understanding wants versus needs is another key step.

I put all my ducks in a row to the best of my ability, but I'll be honest here, I've started thinking that being laid off would be better than staying here. It's not normal to have layoffs all the time. They want us to think it is, but it's not. The job is not supposed to be the source of so much stress. It's really not. I remember a time when it wasn't, even here. And I'm just so tired of it.

My team seems to be safe but that could change in a few days when our Director returns. Is it too late to notify your team that it has been affected by the June 15th layoffs?? How does this work?

Any layoffs coming to Columbus Ohio location??

Any word on layoffs of H&C PCRs or SICCs?
