#layoff

Those who were laid off should ask themselves why they were selected instead of someone else on their team. What was missing? Many people are complaining about how unfair it was, but you wouldn’t be in this situation if you had consistently made yourself indispensable. Too many treat the company like a home where they deserve to be taken care of. Your role is only secure if you are a difference‑maker. The fact that you were chosen because your removal doesn’t affect the team’s productivity should tell you something

If you haven’t upgraded your skills or delivered meaningful impact, you become an easy target — fair and square. And you should expect the same outcome anywhere else. You wouldn’t hire or keep a contractor for your home if they weren’t excellent, just because you liked them, especially when better quality and cost saving options exists. That’s why you read reviews before hiring one

Anyone else on Italy?

Hi folks, I just got off a scheduled call with my very high contact. She accidentally let slip some important information pertaining to next weeks layoff rumours.

Basically she mentioned that code name “operation apocalypse” will begin on the 14th. From what I understand the plan is to reduce headcount by 30% due to ai now being good enough to replace the majority of workers.

She did mention relevant departments this could be hitting.

Likely the US and India’s mother will be the hardest hit.

I take no pleasure in delivering this information, but I felt it important to share what little I know.

Folks my advice would be to go home and hold your loved ones close until dawn. it looks like we are in for a bumpy week…I know I will be holding

There’s been a bit of talk about a cull happening soon, anyone heard anything more concrete on this?

A q for folks who have been around for a while. 18 months here. Just curious to see if there is a pattern. I dont have any insider info, I just feel that all companies are cutting. I may be 100% off.

Curious if anyone here has been through a round of layoffs and can share how it actually played out. When companies say it's "cost cutting" or "moving jobs offshore" — is it usually the entire team/department that goes, or do they pick people out individually?

Also wondering if performance ratings really matter here, or if it's more about tenure, pay level, and role redundancy. Trying to get a realistic picture rather than just guessing.

Through end of year. Maybe just out Pepsi market

The fraudsters must go first.. instead they are being protected.. very sad

You know what to do.. Call in sick..

On 10/30/2025 I was made aware that 2 withdrawals, on 10/17 and 10/21 essentially emptying my account. I immediately contacted customer service to inform them that my account had been hacked, username, password, phone and email information changed. I was told that my account was frozen and referred to the fraud department. The fraud department would be in contact with me in two weeks. On 11/19 I called again, stating that the user name and password continued to be fraudulent and I had not heard from anyone at MoA. Again my email, phone number was taken, I was told there continues to be a freeze on my account and the Fraud Department would be in touch in 2 weeks.

I contacted customer service again on 1/6/2026 stating that I have had no contact with anyone from MoA, my information appeared to still be incorrect and that I had no proof that anything further was being done to address my concerns. Again, apologies were given and I was reassured that someone would be in touch soon. I called 1/13/2026, stating that I have contacted the company numerous times with no results. On 1/15/2026 I called for the 5th time, stating that my information continued to be incorrect and that I needed to speak to someone who could offer more than apologies and the same sad script that I should be hearing from the Fraud Department shortly.

I was connected with the escalation department, who was finally able to correct my contact information. Again, I was reassured that someone from the Fraud Department would contact me within 2 days. On 1/23/2026 I contacted customer service, asking to be connected with someone who can help me. I was told that my account was still under review and there was nothing else that could be done.

This is unacceptable. This was a company run plan, for an annuity that is not due to 2030. That security was so flimsy that someone could change information without the account holder being informed via mail and then funds emptied a few days apart into 2 different bank accounts is nuts.
Claimed loss: 28,900.00

Just as we kick off our 4 day RTO, leadership welcomed us back with multiple quiet layoffs in the merch… er.. commercial (what’s the name now…?) org.

At least I didn't tell those fu--------rs I liked Micheal Bolton's music... I stayed true to myself the entire time I worked there... damn it feels good to be a ga----a.

The Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that a six-month unpaid layoff did not constitute wrongful dismissal. This decision affirms a prior ruling from a lower court. The court found that a temporary layoff clause within an employment contract was valid. This legal precedent impacts how temporary layoffs are viewed in the province. The worker's challenge to the clause was unsuccessful.

Don't stress

I'm a management employee and my boss asked me if I wanted to consider the layoff package. He purposely provided no detail on what the package might look like for someone with 22 years. Anyone have a real idea what the severance packages have looked like recently? Also, are we eligible for unemployment once the severance timeline has passed? Thank you in advance.

I'm in Optum Health and I'm desperate to leave. Like actually considering resigning this week because I can't take this place anymore. However, if there's a chance I'll be laid off in October, I'd certainly choose to hang in there and collect my severance. So my question is... how bad do we think these layoffs will be? Is it worth waiting? And does anyone know when in October we should expect layoffs?

someone was supposed to come in to a meeting and messaged last minute that they got fired. rumors are flying that they weren't the only one

Just heard LIC office got sold and we’ll need to relocate.

I’m guessing 388 is the main option? but is 388 even big enough to absorb all LIC teams? Are there other low-key NYC/LI locations, or is NJ going to be the only other option? Or should we expect layoff in the upcoming round?

Written as if there were opportunities inside the bank.

Firmwide but CCB and CIB confirmed to be affected

Trying to access dayforce like the instructions stated since I've yet to receive anything regarding signing off on severance or even equipment. Anyone have success or is there a way to access to instructions to make sure im not missing anything? I got an email to my personal email from dayforce about updates being made, but for some reason i cant login or reset my password either.

Does anybody know what's being planned for October?

Or did people just decide that's the date for whatever reason?

PIPs are rarely about improving performance. They're about building paperwork to fire you. If you get one, start looking. I'm talking from personal experience.

I had a two decade long career at Shell. I held on to all the shares that I got through PSP and the discount. Two years ago Shell gave me the ol' heave ho severance package because I don't match the DEI quota for senior leaders (aka male on a 100% male team and I don't have either a tan, an alphabet letter, or an accent so I was the one selected to go). I was watching the Shell shares run up in value... but the nagging part was that while watching them climb XOM was climbing faster percentage wise... and for most of the time QQQ and nvidia were too. I kind of regret hanging on to Shell for a higher price when selling Shell and buying a better company would have done me better financially.

Selling Shell to buy a lot of different things would have been better. the idea of hoping your holdings are the winner is like staying with your first pick on the Monty Hall problem

SELL Sell SELL

HR mentioned it was a bunch of people getting laid off today. Anyone else?

I keep hearing this month they're letting people go but nobody can tell me more

Anyone know if large layoffs are coming in October ? Aymon mentioned in town hall that large layoffs were only if a company had a profit problem whereas Opentext has a revenue problem so sounds like no cuts ?

Someone posted on another site that ISM will have layoffs the week of 9/14. They wound up taking down the post.

Is this rumor true? If yes, how many and affected locations?

My supervisor dropped me like a rock in the ranking this year without giving me any heads up. Had me relocate to a new group in a new city. Now I have to stay for 12 months with no possibility of a meaningful raise or repay the relocation costs.

They are rushing to cut headcount costs rather than looking at organizational functions and what people actually do and the value they add to the ecosystem and customers. I want to jump off this sinking ship. Let them deal with the remaining performance obligations and unresolved internal customer issues without enough human headcount.
Yes this is just a rant and may be im wrong.

Congratulations on your VSP, Health Net.

As Sarah London explained to employees earlier this year, “When our membership shifts, we need to shift our organization accordingly.” Apparently that advice is now available to subsidiaries.

We wish Health Net success in its next chapter and remind it that access to its previous line of business will be terminated effective February 28, 2027. Consider adding this to the “impacted” pages “Mission Simplify: Transforming the businesses we serve, one exit at a time.”

Please return your badge, laptop, and PPO network before your last day.

Your remaining responsibilities will be transitioned to other carriers. Please document any institutional knowledge before departure, although nobody will read it until approximately three weeks after you're gone.

Your position will not be backfilled. Unless, of course, we discover six months from now that somebody still needed to do it.

In the meantime, please update LinkedIn to #OpenToGovernmentWork and remember:
This is not an organizational overhaul. Health Net is simply considering a transition.
Thank you for everything you've done to make Centene a diversified healthcare enterprise simpler.

The NoCenteam family wishes you the very best in your future endeavors.

One more thing, suggest changing the company mission to Mission Simplify: Transforming the health of the communities we serve by transforming the employment status of the people who live in them, one person at a time.

My last day as an employee is on 9/18. Anyone know if the ARAG benefits continue during severance period? I know I will have the health coverage. Thank you in advance.

I lost my job and did not hold back on sending your equipment back. I get an e mail from " corporate IT " on 8-27-26 saying things have not been returned. I e mailed details back from the shipping of said equipment from 8.21.26. I checked the tracking myself and things were received and signed for on 8.24.26 at 10:34 AM to be exact by NFISHER- come on, get it together. Oh, and I am the one who no longer has a job......

Hug your Cognizant buddies. Their dreams of a green card just got eliminated. The U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General just announced a criminal fraud investigation of Cognizant and ordered all of their PERM filings suspended.

Who is actually ready for the real layoff day? Now that we are past these troll dates Sept 1 and Sept 8. Sheesh
