Multiple departments were canned last week... more to come

ODP has laid off and essentially gotten rid of multiple departments in the last week or so and I'd assume the reasoning is AI. Internal support roles have been sla-ghtered already as well and according to one of my VP's, ISR's and sales is on the "list" to thin out. They didn't say when but did say that it is coming... Not sure how to take that as I am in sales :/


“Mayday, Mayday, Mayday”! Red Alert !

Memo to Board of Directors: you may want to sell the company now before it gets way worse. Check this out from recent TIAA employees on The Layoff about their failed experiment with A~S~S~Centure. Buckle up ! This is what MoA is in store for.

Headline
Massive layoff after Accenture falling out Having lost millions due to Accenture outsourcing not going as planned the management is now planning layoffs and even more offshore and outsourcing instead of taking responsibility.
Shitstry should be ashamed n be immediately fired!

@zs The irony in all of this fiasco is that TIAA CREF did have the money to transform & modernize internally without the need to seek out & outsource cheap, untested labor. We were already on our way to many JD Power Awards on pur own ! With our own people ! Talented Stateside people !
When sales executives flash dollar signs, charts, spreadsheets, and power point presentations saying they can save 30%-40% on labor & employee benefit costs, & promise better quality & the same productitivty, it is a natural adrenaline rush. Euphoria. They got sold & took the bait. Instead of running parallel systems for a few yrs & testing a few areas, TIAA went all in.
Then, compounding the mess was the miscalculation of the success in Frisco, and the loss of Jacksonville & Denver. You are spot on that in order for the Accenture relationship to exceed in the first place, EVERYTHING had to be mapped out right to the last decimal point & that didn’t happen. You have to optimize your processes first before handing over a half baked and broken process to Indians who have absolutely no clue about how anything worked. The one offs. The special rules. Nothing could have prepared them for the disaster.
What we should have done is built is spend the money, bring it the best IT Engineers for 5 yrs stateside, pay 50 of them $500K each & they would have absolutely figured out how to do this in stages over 10 yrs instead of cramming it into 2-3 yrs. Quality has suffered & for the people who are left, they have had to train, retrain, pick up more work. All those 30%-50% cost savings are eaten up in errors, rework, mistakes & lost clients.
It is going to get far worse with the Shroeders deal w/Nuveen. Schroeders has some insanely antiquated systems.
The only thing that can change the ship from a direct iceburg hit is a new Board of Directors & the filing of all the EC including the NY Liberty’s #1 fan, TBD.

All of this goes back to budgeting decisions made with Roger followed by incorrect analysis from the new C-suite on why we were behind other companies. Strategic projects under Roger’s leadership were funded on an annual basis. This created a ton of half-built upgraded processes increasing the number of systems being used. We definitely had a deficiency in good people leading these major projects, but a lot of the overall issues were tied to never having money to fully finish strategic work.
T and Sastry came in, looked at these issues and decided it was all our people that caused this. It was a “we thing”, we didn’t know what we’re doing and we couldn't handle these major changes. Now as we started doing major projects that were fully funded such as Toggle, somehow internally we were able to handle it. However complex operational process projects were viewed as a TIAA people issue. This turned to us making the deal with Accenture.
Moving our complex issues to a group that didn’t understand the issues or processes shockingly turned into a bigger mess. We also didn’t show them all the existing complexity. By moving to Accenture we effectively moved backwards a decade+ because they need to learn all of these one off situations before they can even attempt to take out waste and automate.
The Accenture savings aren’t materializing but it’s not all Accenture’s fault. We don’t have processes easy to automate. If we spent half the money we spent on Accenture to fix the processes before we moved work to Accenture we’d be in a much better place. Instead the C-Suite is once again proving they don’t know the reason for the issues and our going to keep fumbling by removing people who understand and couple fix these issues.

Teachers Union Backs Tax Hike After Layoff Concerns Addressed

The Indianapolis teachers union has agreed to support a proposed property tax referendum after initial opposition. This decision follows discussions with Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) leadership regarding potential layoffs. IPS confirmed that current budget cuts will not result in district-wide educator layoffs. The union's support is contingent on protecting educators and classrooms from financial challenges. The referendum is expected to generate significant annual revenue for district and charter schools.

With this new H1B rule, Oracle, with quarterly layoff, will no longer be able to onshore Indians to take US Citizen's job. This rule must extend to existing H1Bs already in USA to replace them with US Citizens who are likely better qualified.

Restaurant Staff Await Unpaid Wages

A local diner laid off approximately half a dozen employees last month due to financial difficulties. Some former staff members claim they are owed significant amounts for unpaid work and vacation time. The restaurant's co-owner stated that employees will eventually receive their owed wages. However, she could not provide a specific timeline for these payments. Two former employees have since found new employment elsewhere.

My last day with the company

Today is my last with the company after 11 years. I took the VSP but I decided i didnt want to wait till May of 2027. The money would be nice but its not end all be all. Im in a good place to do this. Wish you all the best whatever this company throws at you, it changes like every hour and the direction isnt looking good for all you hard working people who are sticking it out. Y'all take care.


Tech glitches

Has anyone noticed tech being more glitchy than normal? Wondered if that was a sign of backend work for a layoff or just lack of a team to update tech. Has this been seen before a layoff?

Layoff Thoughts?

Just wondering thoughts, If Comcast is adding employees in a department do you think that would mean it’s unlikely that department would see layoffs? Or the two actions don’t link up and mean anything? My thinking is if a Company is planning to layoff people in a department it wouldn’t make since to hire people but then I think back historically when Comcast laid off an entire sales department and they just hired someone in that department less than a month and laid off that employee as well.

Work almost went silent… as the third quarter passed by…!

Ah.. the cold breeze of RA is here!

9/24 One Year Anniversary

Today marks the one year anniversary date for those laid-off on 9/24/2025.

It was a shocking day! It brought out the reality that HCSC along with manny employers have no respect or appreciation for its employees as a corporation. It confirmed the end of an era of devoted employees.

Hopefully those let go have been able to find a new job or officially retire comfortably. Those who continue to work hopefully it is a good job. Then there are those who found a job, but are still really looking.

For those employees still working at HCSC, maybe think about messaging someone you know who was let go on this day. Checking in on them could do wonders in boosting their morale on this horrible day of memory.
