#layoff

Please? I'd give anything to be shown the door with severance. I've grown to absolutely hate this place.

I am going heads down for the next 12 month until things get worse. We should lose EH in about 6 months.

Our agency missed 7 months in rolling 12, is the following statement from a previous post accurate?

"Agents that miss 7 months out of a moving 12 month measurement will get a 90 day terminaton notice in the 8th month."

Just got my Zoom meeting. Final separation date is Oct 23. Severance is salary/benefits/vesting through separation date plus 2 weeks of On Target Earnings (min 8 weeks) for commission employees.

Are there any rumors of fall layoffs after open enrollment? I'm not hearing the usual chatter but it seems to be a yearly event. It also seems to have been unusually long since the round. My mgr asked about my general flight risk in a meeting stating they were assessing the group plans. Is that a normal conversation? Our group is definitely not hiring. If anything it's shifting to more offshore.

Customers are not getting answers for weeks and months,
Issues not resolved and accumulating.
They thought Ai will resolve all issues for them and replace staff.
The remaining teams are understaffed.

I have an internal source who just shared with me the final review of layoff plans was concluded today. On Monday they will initiate early morning emails informing those being let go. Full severance.

Whatever consultants Wells hired for these rolling layoffs must have told them severance packages would mask the illegal discrimination well.

Located in a core location and received IM for mid year. Does ageism play role in this? I ask because like many others I have been a top performer but i am 59 years old. Does this mean I will be layed off soon or is it worth making effort to raise the score for year end?

With the onesy twosy layoffs still occurring why is there no info here on package? Weeks of severance? Weeks of cobra? , etc. has it drastically been reduced?

when is the next mass lay off date? Is it in the September? who is going to be impacted?.we see lot of new contractors at office locations and new positions are being opened overseas.

When does severance package begin if you were told day of notification was your last day? If 9/4, are you being paid through then w/regular pay?

At this point we all know several people who've been laid off. Some will tell you where they went and why, however others won't say who hired them. Its not like they're at risk of me stealing their newly acquired job, the only reason I can think of is they don't want a bunch of WF people to get wind of and go to their new company. Just seems crazy in this market to close the door behind you when you were in the same boat as others not too long ago.

CDW stock performance: Brutal

Past 5 years - DOWN -61.39%
Past year - DOWN -19.55%

Numbers don't lie, sharp pullbacks, volatile post-earnings reactions with margin concerns.

I saw the post about Greenville layoffs. Has anyone heard anything about other sites?

I have never met a bad person that got RIFFED. It was always the nice ones that were at or close to retirement . People look at it as a punishment but in reality it’s the company way of rewarding the good ones . The truth is everyone I know wants that package but too bad the company will determine who is deserving of it .

Maybe I wont take severance.

No severance, no non disclosure to sign.

A big fat book on the toxic Wells fraudo

Laid off yesterday after 15 years in retaliation for not wanting to take on even more work after basically taking on the work of three other people with no consideration for my capacity at all. It was definitely retaliation though I can't prove it. It su-ks that senior executives promote the global culture especially providing psychological safety but it doesn't actually exist and in fact toxic environments thrive. Don't know what my next steps are but there's freedom in not being stressed out about being behind in everything because you're overwhelmed with an ever-growing list of responsibilities and a leadership that doesn't care. Hopefully another division will scoop me. Nowhere to go but up from here

The first one is getting laid off. The second, and more revealing one, is not getting laid off because that means staying in a place we hate, watching the ship slowly sink while we're still on it. And I know of more and more folks who feel this way. Says a lot about T, doesn't it?

Heard September 10 is when store leadership will be told and will break the news to their team members the next morning. Is this true? I was fearing this because of the strong push with ESL rollout. Store scanners are useless now.

Only asking because I’m not sure if I should be actively seeking out employment before everyone else does.

Planning to be let go in the next few years. Thinking about early retirement.

Taking skills to smaller local shops in barter/trade for groceries, restaurants (food), clothing, baked good, etc..

I heard from my manager we’ll be loosing at least one person from our team and im assuming it’s part of a larger layoff.

I was let go in April due to a RIF A colleague of mine was let go in March. Same organization and same state we are out of (Georgia). Re both non-management exempt employees…were anyways. How about I found out his manager got his PTO paid out! Whereas I didn’t get any PTO because I didn’t know it was an option for my manager to possibly work it out with HR to have it paid out (or added to the severance). I am livid as I would have fought for this if I’d known it was an option!! Just be aware if you are in one of the states that doesn’t have to pay out PTO…fight for it anyways! I have reached out to HR complaining about this But of course I’m sure absolutely nothing will come of it Smdh!!!

For those that were RIF'd 12/25 have you received the invoice for Cobra?

Hello everyone! Hope you are all happy and healthy! I was part of the RIF that occurred last May and to say the least I am still a faithful employee .Over the past 25 years this company has helped me raise my kids, put food on my table and paid my bills on time . I have loved and hated my job but at the end of the day , still happy to have one. I have met some of the best people which in return made me a better person . You know who you are and I will always be forever thankful to U . What is there to complain about but only to be grateful..No job is perfect but if are still working for this company , consider yourself “Blessed’’. Farewell Medtronic and god bless you always! ❤️🙏

A recent report highlights a significant disconnect in how organizations prepare managers for difficult workplace conversations. While HR professionals largely believe managers are adequately trained for layoff discussions, a substantial majority of managers themselves disagree. This gap suggests many companies are underestimating the support needed for leaders navigating increased workforce uncertainty. The report advocates for continuous development and a culture of psychological safety to equip managers effectively.

I was a top performer for years, always ignored inter-office politics, mostly got along with everybody and survived every layoff so far. A few weeks ago something happened that I couldn't ignore and had me report my manager, and now here I am, laid off. Am I wrong to find this suspicious?

What was the severance?
2 weeks of base pay per year?
Was it capped at 6 months, is the important question?

I see talk here and there but never truly confirmation.

How is everyone who was laid off?

Do you think there will be any voluntary or involuntary RIF with pay this year?

I almost hate to ask, but in my defense, they keep changing the rules —and so I’m not quite sure where things are… here goes: they used to say that if you did not get a call by 9:00 am local time, you had another 2 weeks; has that changed? And confirm that terminations can be any time during any day of the week.

Thank you everybody and good luck!

What happens with CWs who have like 6 months left on contract? My understanding is that contracts are more or less pre paid to the contracting firm so how would this work…?

What is everyone hearing

Hundreds of San Francisco city employees rallied and marched to protest proposed budget cuts and layoffs. Mayor Daniel Lurie plans to eliminate 500 positions due to a significant projected deficit. The cuts will affect various city services, including youth and senior clinics, and programs aimed at reducing violent crime. Some workers and patients expressed anger and concern over the impact of these decisions. Union members plan further action before a health department meeting.

Salesforce is implementing another round of layoffs, impacting 74 employees at its San Francisco headquarters. These permanent job cuts are scheduled to occur on October 5th. This marks the fourth set of Bay Area layoffs for the company in less than a year. These reductions align with a broader trend of significant job cuts across the tech industry in 2026.

General Motors will implement 350 layoffs at two Lansing facilities starting January 14, 2027. These job reductions are expected to impact local businesses beyond the affected employees. Experts note that smaller suppliers heavily reliant on GM could face significant consequences. Local business owners anticipate a ripple effect on restaurants, gas stations, and other service providers. Despite the layoffs, GM is investing in future production at the Lansing Grand River site.
