#layoff

Please! Release me from my misery!! I've been trying to leave on my own but no luck so far. Give me my safety net and kick me out, I'll thank you on my way out.

The federal government’s plan to reduce the size of the public service is expected to affect employees at the Brandon Research and Development Centre, Agriculture Union’s president told the Sun.

Since I'm leaving next month regardless (which nobody needs to know yet, of course), I'd gladly take the layoff package if it meant preventing a cut for a coworker who depends on this income. The management should offer a voluntary option, especially since I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd gladly take it.

From the last few rounds, I'm getting the strong impression that if you're in your late 40s or 50s, your job is at extreme risk here. Please correct me if I'm wrong since I've been known to be paranoid before, but I think the pattern in the cuts is really hard to ignore.

I like my actual work, but the company's direction is undeniably bad. I think it's time to accept that Target is failing and seriously start looking for a new job before it's too late.

Anybody else shocked it's nearly the end of January and we're yet to see any layoffs this year? I know something might be coming soon, but still. I got so used to constant layoffs that this reprieve seems like a miracle in itself.

Is it an email notice sent the day of 1/29? Is it a scheduled meeting? If so, how far in advance do your receive the meeting invite and what is the subject title? Who is on the call? HR? Your manager? How have folks been notified in the past?

I see several of the posts critical of nuestar are removed

The non-stop layoff drama has led to my complete emotional detachment. I don't want to lose my job, but I also can't bring myself to feel the stress I used to. It's not normal, but it's a strange kind of relief.

Wells Fargo has announced another round of layoffs in Iowa, affecting 33 employees at the company's Jordan Creek Campus in West Des Moines, with the changes taking effect on March 20.

Are there any latest rumors about layoffs?

If I decline to move, any ideas on what the timeline looks like to get the official layoff notice? I hear that puts me on "the list" but I'm more curious what that means for timeline / budget purposes. I want to find a new job, but I want to do it in the right order.

Thanks!

I have a job offer to escape this place, but it's not ideal. If layoffs are definitely coming soon, I might wait it out for the severance and look for something better. Any solid info on timing?

Stan McLaren, CEO of Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, resigned in mid-December. His departure followed internal dissent over staff layoffs and mission concerns. The nonprofit laid off 25 people and closed a 20-bed medical respite facility. These actions were taken as the organization faces significant Medicaid funding cuts. Dr. Denise De Las Nueces, the chief medical officer, is now serving as interim CEO.

Currently in the process of getting managed out. I was told that there are 150 people that have all been put on performance plans. Meet a certain % of plan by end of Q or be put on an official. I would take any package if offered. Every day is like an episode of a reality show. Some made up loss that needs to be made up for. High stress, no money.

Kate always likes to do it around the end of a month so they can avoid paying benefits to those RIFed for another month. Have to save money for the next friend of hers to hire for a senior level role, or the next Brene Brown boondoggle training.

You're not powerless. You can certainly fight back.

The whole point of the layoffs are to keep the already struggling Cigna stock value up. The goal of this is to please investors and because the CEO, David Cordani, is payed mostly in stocks (no really, look it up on the SEC website).

If you are an employee you might have a 401k. A 401k is a collection of stocks used for retirement. Your 401k likely has at least one fund invested mostly in Cigna stock. When you are layed off, or maybe even before, transfer those Cigna funds to something else/better. Your retirement account will be better invested and you have undone any stock benefit of them laying you off.

Are more layoffs expected to come post annual reviews in February?

This company is in a constant state of laying people off. Shipping jobs now to India. That will evidently solve all of their problems.
Nice job in giving jobs to another country. You sure your customers will be ok with that especially knowing your pal is the one you’re doing business with? Conflict of interest I would say.
We know what is going on and what goes around comes around.

Hi! Driving by last weekend and saw that the Allscripts sign isn't on the Raleigh office. Didn't see an Altera (or whatever it's called now) sign either. Is there a Raleigh office? I left voluntarily a few years ago and was wondering if the place is still open. Thanks!

Investor-backed Mycrogrid is acquiring Renova Energy. Layoff notices were issued to 20 to 30 employees. The company had furloughed over 300 staff members in 2024. Vincent Battaglia, Renova Energy's CEO, also leads Mycrogrid. Mycrogrid anticipates reopening in April with new positions.

General Motors' Fairfax Kansas City Plant will produce a new Buick model. Production of the compact Buick is set to begin in 2028. The plant also builds the Chevrolet Bolt EV and will add the Equinox. However, 900 workers at the facility are currently on indefinite layoff. UAW Local 31 prioritizes getting all affected employees back to work.

Cisco needs to crack down on poor performance and do another massive layoff. If you can’t pull your weight, then you got to go.

Heard there is another wave of layoff coming in Early Feb hitting US and India - GCC, anyone know anything about this ? Ironically GCC folks are scrambling for safety after taking away American jobs

I heard there were layoffs in rebadged (client to Optum) staff and MPP transition staff. Does anybody know the clients they support and roles and the roles of the transition staff let go?

Being let go didn't personally affect me at all. I've gotten used to losing jobs. It's happened several times over my career, and by now I don't see it as anything reflecting on me. But I've never been more worried about finding another job. It doesn't look good out there, and my husband's job is in peril too. I can't recall when things have felt this bad from every direction. Wish us luck and the optimism to keep us afloat.

I was so fed up with the work and the constant anticipation of losing my job that I'd lost any motivation to work extra-hard. And I constantly felt guilty about it. As if being a hard worker would've made any difference. We all saw today that being good at your job means literally nothing. Anyway, I'm off. Good luck to everyone. The only good memories are the nice coworkers I met along the way.

Taking the chance to work for this company was the worst experience of my career. I feel terrible for the amazing leaders we lost today, I am sure my role is next. Onward and upward.
