#layoff

As expected & rumored

Any layoff so far those two weeks?

Remote employee, I was called into another meeting and presented with “great news” that where I once was going to be let go at the end of the 3rd quarter 2026, I am now in the next wave which will be Q1 2027

This is probably the forth or the fifth time over 5-6 years I had been told to prepare for displacement only have it explained, that I am being rewarded in some way because my job has been preserved for another few months.

I was long overdue for a promotion which they have now flat out told me will not happen because I am going to be displaced. So I am doing the same job function if not more work than people titled more senior than me and being paid less.

I feel like a contractor, trapped and just wished they would let me go instead of thinking that kicking the can down the road every six months should somehow make me feel inspired.

So how does that work exactly ? Are you given a choice? Rebadge or quit / rebadge vs leave with severance ? I always thought it was the former, ie- no real choice. How long do you stay employed at new company? what happens after that term ( regarding severance, unemployment etc )

I have always worked under the assumption that getting laid off was better than getting rebadged. Is that accurate ?

In this episode of is it true or not. Several individuals have stated that the latest news is IF you are in Columbus,GA you can choose to relocate to OH or Georgia.

I was reading the agreement and it basically says you are waiving any rights to sue the company. And if you find another job they will stop the PIP.

Has anybody been able to negotiate different terms for this agreement?

After working for 30+ years, all you get is 3 months of salary at the cost of waiving broad rights? Ultrageous! This company should pay packages as every other company that does layoffs!

I got terminated at Centene. My performance was exceptional; I belonged to different groups and associations, participated in voluntary groups, helped and assisted other colleagues, completed trainings, and maintained exceptional metrics (more than 60 daily calls). I was truly a dedicated team member.

But I got laid off. I am now without a salary, debts are mounting, and I am going to lose my house and cannot pay utilities or my children's college tuition. I have completed around 120 resumes and applications and don't have any answers yet.

Thanks, Centene, for your support for your employees—the support that makes all of you richer every day with our efforts and work.

Would that work to not comply with new RTO and drag it out as long as possible till they terminate me or lay me off. Would this set me up for a possible layoff package and I could get unemployment benefits?

There were rumors that today was the day, but I haven't seen anything.

Now they're saying "by month end".

Any news?

Received an email from the out placement company about optional information sessions. It came from “Agreements” with subject “LHH Overview Session.” A very unassuming email, but has me extra vigilant now in monitoring my junk folder as I get closer to my separation date!

I have made it through the VSP and involuntary separations. During the couple months of uncertainty I looked for another job. It’s not remote and would be working in a more stressful environment but one I’m used to as it’s what I did before. It is a little extra money about 12-20k more a year.
I was so stressed about potentially being laid off I went through with the interview process for the other job and was given an offer.
Now that I found out I’m safe from this I don’t know if I should take it. Part of me is saying yes take the offer because the layoffs could happen again soon. I guess just wondering what you all would do? I do love working from home though.

Mauoervisor seemed shocked when they dropped my ranking that I told them I would be quitting. They said but you are not NSI and Good is really a good outcome in such a competitive rank group. Why would I stay around when I no longer receive any RSUs and am over my salary curve?

Willimantic's WILI radio station has laid off several long-serving radio personalities. The cuts were made by the station's owner, Hall Broadcasting, after a review of operations.

Nationwide layoffs at Cumulus Media have resulted in the departure of two long-serving radio personalities from KFRU in Mid-Missouri. David Gaines and Simon Rose were affected by these company-wide reductions. Rose had a career spanning 37 years at KFRU and 33 years at KBXR. His former co-host expressed disappointment, calling the cuts a loss for local radio. Cumulus Media recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Does anyone else have a problem buying the absolute BS that comes with these recent townhalls? Trying to oversell the progress of the company even among the financial losses, low clinician satisfaction and lack of moral within employees? They keep preaching that they are listening to grievances, yet they continue pushing next agendas and plans for changes when we aren’t stable enough to implement successfully. Saying they want more automation = less need for manpower = layoffs. But they don’t say it.

What did everyone think about Ryan saying layoffs are now part of the “new normal” and to expect them going forward?

I was curious if anyone knew should I put in a 2 week notice with everything going on? I need the work. But I hate to not put a notice in but I fear they will let me go that day. Was curious if there was a fine line with this and the layoffs and what’s being told to management.

Has anyone from the behavior health teams been laid off?

The acquired company doesn't care about the employees or the customer, so why are you still there. The only Citrix thing about Citrix now is the name. It is nowhere near the great company it was while it was Mark Templeton was there. Ever since the acquisition, it has not only gone down in value, but also in the human culture it had.

Resign. Spend time with your friends and family. Travel. Be a good person to yourself. They will never treat you like anything other than the number. The layoff after the acquisition was the best thing that ever happened to me. Live long and happy, my friend. I don't always drink beer, but when I do, it is the flavor-of-like I drink.

Rumor mill says there'll be more cuts before the end of the month, has anybody heard anything concrete about it?

Are they gonna at least let us know when this first round is over so we can stop stressing for at least a little bit till the 2nd round… this company is making me hate them w how they’re keeping us in the dark.

That's all I wanted to say. Pay me to leave this place and I'll dance out the door.

No other way out of this CR but LR the middle class

A (now former) colleague of mine was featured in promotional LinkedIn post celebrating how great they are. Same person was laid off the very next day in the name of the Canada Transformation. You can't make it up.

It’s now mid-August and no VERP has come out yet. Little birdie, please spill the beans if you know something. Does anyone have any credible information on a VERP coming, and if so, when?

After you're laid off?

Is it paid out with severance or separately? Actually, is it paid out al all?

Curious on the potential of layoff / any insight. I work for the Optum Care at Home - Care Navigator role. DSNP plan.

A lot of people quit this role and they are not re hiring - but have brought on plenty of Philippines staff.

I have always felt the role won’t stay on shore but im curious of any word or input

I'm at the slowest store in a district by a long ways. They transitioned a store that is a fair amount busier then us. We went from 7 reps down to 5 before the big layoff. Now we are losing another rep to a different store. I have not heard if they are replacing that position. But you can not run on 4 reps. Any chance they just flat out close us because we are slow enough even indirects didn't want us? Has anybody seen that play out?

Re: Today is your last day as my employer.

You have underperformed and not met expectations. All of the promises you made to lure me to this role, were never kept.

Normally I would give you a 14-day PIP (2 weeks’ notice) before canning you, but you are not worthy, and I am ending your opportunity to employ me effective immediately.

In the middle of reading this note, I have blocked you from all ways of communicating with me. If you have any questions, please submit them to my portal, which I will never look at.

Please return anything of value you have received from my employ or I will have to send you threatening legal notes that I have no intent to pursue. Just to cause you more anxiety than I already have.

I will also send you automated messages in the middle of the night reminding you of how unwanted and unproductive you are, and to sign my correspondence or you will lose the chance to.

If you play your cards rights, I may give you a good reference, to help you take advantage of and sc--w over other employees, but you know I really have no intention of doing so. I just tell you that to make you think I care. You know I don’t.

Signed,

How Does It Feel.

For those of you who were asking for her departure your wish has come true. D. Fleming is “retiring” another EVP bites the dust. So when will Tom bite the dust?

I am out of town, I have been monitoring my mails (using USPS informed delivery). I have not received any mail. I did not see anything on ADP either. Please share if you have already received severance pay. It will be so helpful!

Hi everyone! Been in seat for a couple of years in the sales side. I’ve been dreading work, and frankly want to be part of the layoffs. How can I position myself?

A union representing 281 workers at Extendicare Countryside is criticizing management for recent issues. They argue that corporate layoffs and cuts, not isolated problems, led to a provincial order to stop new admissions. Workers have voiced concerns about staffing levels and workloads for months. The union believes these issues directly impact resident care. They are calling for Extendicare to address staffing shortages and fill vacant positions.
