#layoff

It’s about trust!

Coming up next…RIFs!

Sounds like we are getting more big changes in the next two weeks? Anyone sense that?

Will it ever be enough?

Got laid off a few weeks back and have some questions on the RSUs. If stock continues to drop, should I cash these out now versus waiting until the end of my severance to get the full paycheck? I’m worried what I have in here will tank by the time I get paid out, but this is also the first company I’ve had RSUs with so it’s still confusing to me

Losing both my direct and skip level managers in a single layoff round I survived. Both were complete a--holes, so to say that was one of the best days of my life would be an understatement. Yes, there was a lot of confusion and issues until everything settled down, but it was worth it.

Anybody know the broader impact? I was cut from Product Learning & Development, heard there's more from that team + engineering as a whole.

Good thing we put all that work into AI so it could "replace" us eh?

Wasn't it considered an affordable option for laid off folks once upon a time?

Severance for the July lay off just hit! I can oficially say I'm done with this place. Good luck to everyone still there! With the likes of Rebecca Grattan and all the other incompetent leaders you are going to need it.

22 home triage nurses fired today. Still no update on when or what is happening with Optum Rhinebeck. Supervisors get very angry when asked about it, and don't understand why people are looking elsewhere. How long are they going to string us along.

Hopefully the board will be dissatisfied or an activist investor will kick HT to the street where he belongs.

Lay him off!

Me and my entire team are now hoping to be cut. Severance sounds great in face of continued toxic culture and constant uncertainty.

You get through one round of cuts and immediately start wondering when the next one will happen. There's never enough time between layoffs to actually feel secure. This is our reality.

I used to worry about losing this job all the time, but I've gradually stopped letting that control me. I've kept my resume current, built up skills outside my normal responsibilities and made sure I have options. These days I'm not trying to climb the ladder here anymore, I gave up on that. But if a layoff happens, I'll deal with it and move forward.

Is it going be mandatory performance cuts in October like Meta or do we wait until winter? Ryan’s message indicated it will be in the “coming years and quarters”, which implies one’s definitely happening between now and next summer.

Hearing layoffs next month in center city commute. Expecting certain percentage per org TPX?

"Struck a deal to sell $5.5 billion of auto loans.. exit less profitable, non-core businesses"

Where will it invest more? How does these impact employees? We saw few waves layoffs in July and Aug. Will be a surprise if that's the last this year. But the question is ...where?
Reorg may be? As that has been the favourite "strategy" for past 4 years.

After weeks of threads and speculation, looks like tomorrow is finally the day. Hearing layoffs are planned for 9/17.

Good luck to everyone, please share any info you get on orgs impacted.

Plenty of folks let go in T&T this week. Looks like Brinks doesn’t want anything to do with them.

I heard there were several let go at the Gray TN site. Anyone know the number and which departments impacted today?

I heard a couple of big names / leaders impacted this week. Any ideas on total impact?

Is now laid off. Directs were stripped a few weeks ago. Did not see it coming. At all.

I have been here long enough and I’m done! This place is past fixing. Nobody is even trying to save the sinking ship and the CEO is MIA.

Several major healthcare organizations have announced substantial layoffs and role eliminations in response to financial pressures. Dartmouth Health is cutting 124 positions and closing 303 open roles, while University of Vermont Health is restructuring and eliminating 199 positions. Tenet Healthcare's Conifer Solutions will lay off over 1,000 employees due to a contract breakup. Trinity Health is also reducing its workforce by 557 employees due to IT outsourcing. These widespread cuts reflect the challenging economic climate impacting the healthcare industry.

How are y’all doing? What’s the overall morale in your market? My manager said to not worry, I’m not sure I am trusting that.

On the bright side, I am kind of looking forward to getting laid-off. Yes, weird thing to say but I’m taking that as a sign that it would be time to move forward.

Possible RIF around end of year again, Thanksgiving / Christmas ?

It's fuzzy... It looks like this is a bigger layoff hit that's being coordinated across multiple locations and groups.... NYC, Tampa & Florence, KY... tech, COO- teams, fixed-income/trading... no clear headcount... unsure on other groups too. it's fuzzy and awkward but it seems to be fairly big?

Any news of new layoffs coming ?

So the Anderon split from ibm has been announced for October 1st and new announcements and employee contracts are coming out.

Setting aside the painfully obvious point that this is a "quantum wafer foundry" with no real foundry that it owns or controls outright and that the Albany site itself can barely classify as a fully operational fab.

We need to ask ourselves honestly why?

• Why is IBM really splitting off 70-100 people to form this new company?
• Why create Anderon at all in the first place?
• Why not just keep it all internal to IBM?

The publicity stated comments and justification - that this is a way to attract customers who wouldn't work directly with IBM - doesn't hold up. Those same customers know Anderon is strongly affiliated, owned and controlled by IBM, so the same logic of avoid working with IBM would apply to Anderon as well.
Why would a competitor hand over its most sensitive fabrication data to an IBM-affiliated company when IBM is competing against them directly?

Flip it around: why would IBM let its competitive-advantage IP flow into Anderon, where it could end up supporting competitors' builds? Anderon is taking a capability that gives IBM an edge and potentially turning it into shared infrastructure. So basically the publicly stated purpose for creating Anderon is a bold face lie.

Is this really just cost savings. Getting 70-100 employees off IBM's books and payroll? As one past comment put it: "it's just a layoff with extra steps."

Call it a spinoff, a joint venture, or a strategic carve out - it still smells exactly like a layoff wearing a lab coat.

This isn't a spinoff, it's a witness protection program for headcount. It’s a glorified layoff from ibm hidden and tucked in in a way ibm doesn’t have to classify it as such

IBM didn't build a competitor. It built an alibi.

Somewhere a strategy consultant got paid seven figures to rename 'layoff' as 'ecosystem expansion.

Bottom line: the publicly stated rationale doesn't add up to a coherent business case.

IBM’s public statements regarding this are just simply ridiculous. Do they actually believe their own words coming out of their mouths. Those saying it should be remembered and held accountable for rest of their careers.

Our leaders are using their usual flimsy internal justifications publicly to explain this. And it appears many who are not indoctrinated in the Albany culture are seeing right through the thin veil and rolling holes into it.

Make it make sense!

Uber is set to lay off more than 100 employees in Santa Clara County, according to filings tracked by the state. It comes as the rideshare service announced earlier in September that it’d be slashing the size of its team by 10% to streamline its operations.
