#layoff

According to ECMC, the layoffs affect "mostly non-clinical areas."

In a statement, ECMC officials blamed Medicaid cuts, inflationary costs and other financial challenges as reasoning for the layoffs.

Judging by reports, even more remote workers were let go today. I'm so sorry for what we're going through, and especially for those already impacted.

I was a former employee of 35 years at Pearson Vue. I too was let go on the 12th. I gave all my loyal and dedication to this company for a lot of time. I was mortified when I found out that my job had been eliminated due to it being outsourced to India. This will fail as everything else will fail because everybody is just a $to them. This is not the company that I show loyalty to for all the years so I’m OK with leaving as I did knowing that I put my best effort forward. They let a lot of good people that dedicated all their time to helping Pearson be what it is today. So sad. They were so sneaky about how they did the layoffs. Some people still don’t know the total number of employees who were let go. Most of the people who I am aware of were here 15 plus years.

Were any of your teams impacted recently by RIFs or layoffs? Please share the dept/area that was affected & how many reductions.

Can confirm the Detroit plant received shut down notice. Any other plants?

QA for complaints in SLC got notified today that they would be let go by end of 2027. And in a town hall where they showed a map with SLC not on it for core locations and then just moved on like it was nothing.

I saw a data steward layed off via a linked in post. Does anyone have more details about what else may have been cut this week?

For whatever reason, they don’t want to work anymore. Can they signify manager to have them in the laid off list. When is the latest to let them know (as layoff is normally planned ahead).

Just got off call about LR's. We each got a list of people affected in our respective teams, pretty much informed that we have to break the ice with each person affected. So yes, February layoffs are unfortunately confirmed.

I’m seeing a lot of people from EviCore comment about having their roles eliminated. Have any of the other companies under Cigna or even Cigna itself seen layoffs today?

Layoff notices went out today

Oklahoma City took the biggest hit. Anyone know the numbers?
What other locations were impacted?

When people had their "org update" meeting, did anyone else get the "class act" of having their manager read it to them? Probably one of the most childish things I've ever experienced in my life. Lol.

So far no cuts this year. Is it safe to think our jobs are okay for this quarter? I want to stop stressing and make some plans, but I don't want to get blindsided.

“After careful and thoughtful analysis, certain non-patient-facing-revenue cycle functions will be transitioned to a partner. As a result, positions within the revenue cycle department will be reduced by 10.5% across Trinity Health’s national footprint."

I just got laid off, and weirdly, I'm fine? I thought I'd be freaking out, but I just feel numb. Maybe I'm in shock, or maybe I was just so done with this place that it's a relief.

Home Depot just had major layoffs. I give it a month before we get a similar announcement.

The fat cat CEO's are earning millions and billions in compensation, while the normal Joe who's making a meager salary gets laid off or hours/pay cut. Time for a universal revolt to overthrow the corrupt capitalist systems embedded through and within government corruption.

I'm so over corporate life. The thought of dealing with another reorg or layoff cycle makes me want to just walk out. I'm seriously thinking about using my skills to start a small business. It'd be crazy hard, but at least I'd be my own boss and in control of the chaos.

Does anyone have an idea the final count of folks impacted across the entire layoff period (October - Jan)?

Dow is planning to cut approximately 4,500 jobs as the chemicals maker places more emphasis on using artificial intelligence and automation in its business.

I'm now thoroughly confused. Is today the main layoff day or not?

Evicore Project Manager axed today.

Please remember this if you’re second-guessing yourself. You were not fired. You were removed because of lousy leadership that can only make itself look good by getting rid of as many people as possible to make the numbers look better. That’s all this is about.

not even sure why i hit my number last quarter. It was a quick three years at Dell..

And those of you laid off are going to be in way better spots and laughing at the decisions being made today by terrible people who are so shortsighted.

The guy's been here for less than a year, but I've gotten to know him pretty well in that time. Before starting here, he was laid off by his previous company and spent nearly six months trying to find another job. He told me how stressed he was during the process, and how he was starting to lose hope when he got an offer from USAA. Now he's been laid off again and I can't even imagine how he's feeling. How do you even explain two layoffs in less than two years to a future employer? He's completely crushed and out of steam.

My supervisor asked in our team chat if any of us were located within 50 miles of Orlando. Does that mean we’re either going to get let go or asked to go back in office?

I know a few people that were recently let go in Boston. Rumored be part of the initial phase of the Lake Mary relocation (they relayed to their manager that they had no interest in moving to Florida and that feedback was cascaded up).

All of them here 10+ years.

3 or 4 years ago they would have been given 6+ months. I think the maximum used to be 52 weeks.

I am hearing they each received full pay to the end of the pay period plus another 4 weeks.

Is this the new policy? Is a quality severance for people with 20+ years officially now gone? Has anyone heard of anyone let go in the last few months that was given a more substantial package?

Just when you think these vultures can't get any lower, they skrewed people out of their hard earned bonus. People worked 11 months of the year, were rated meets, and got the unexpected shaft. So glad I got out of this toxic environment. They will do anything to skrew you. #Toxic #Shaft

It was said that all employees received it but I am a contractor and haven’t received anything. It’s probably safe to assume we’re first on the chopping block when it comes to JE but it’s not like we’d be notified of it.

General Motors confirmed the end of its third shift at the Oshawa assembly plant. This decision results in the layoff of approximately 700 unionized workers. The plant, located in Oshawa, Ontario, produces the Chevrolet Silverado. The automaker had previously postponed this shift cut due to strong demand. U.S. tariffs on Canadian-built vehicles are cited as a contributing factor.

What is going on at Ardmore? I'm hearing that half the staff is going on short term assignment and all the work is being taken by Mexico and China, is Ardmore closing down?

For anyone who mentioned over the past couple of years that they were waiting for a severance package, what’s the plan now? Just curious because I was in the same boat, and honestly, the job market is rough. My current strategy is to switch things up and play the corporate game. Thankfully, I got a meets this year. I did 40% less work, so now I’m planning to step it up and do 20% more than last year, and fingers crossed I can keep that meets.

Let that sink in.

That is correct it’s 16,000 people to be let go.
