#layoff

Anyone?

The Camden school district is undergoing a major restructuring. One hundred employees, including the entire central office, received layoff notices. These job eliminations will take effect on June 30. Some affected staff may reapply for newly defined roles. The district attributes these cuts to financial pressures and declining enrollment.

Let’s share some here. Real ways to get through a layoff, since many people here are very worried.

No notice of layoffs in Alpharetta.

Hi, got laid off a month ago , on my garden leave, do you guys mention about your layoff while interview, I understand they would found out..and it's not about hiding, frankly if they specifically ask I would be truthful but otherwise if they found out later background check would that be a red flag?

Centralized space for updates as they are released this week.

Firsthand information only
Include OU and location
No political content
Maintain a respectful and constructive tone - this is stressful for all

The head of wealth insurance distribution, Steve Sugumele, got let go. Anyone know if the insurance business is on the chopping block?

Not here to contribute to saying a layoff is/isn’t gonna happen.

That being said, I took 0 hours of PTO when I was laid off. I was surprised when I had my PTO hours paid out to me in cash. That and equity all paid out to me in a lump sum for each.

So, if you believe you’re getting the axe… don’t take PTO. You’ll be paid a bit more extra as a parting gift.

If I’m laid off, do I need to be 55 to be considered an early retiree with benefits?

Do they ever make exceptions if you’re close to that age?

Good luck everyone. It’s wild out here.

Anybody knows why Kara Long was shown the door? The announcement was pretty short. Left to pursue other opportunities, good luck. That’s it. No “retirement”, no flattery about her illustrious career.
I thought she was hired pretty recently.

Instead, I just keep my resume fresh and my savings padded. Whenever it happens, I'll be ready. Been feeling much better, to be honest, since I adopted this approach.

For the past year I was cruising. Top ratings, visible work, direct revenue impact. I thought I was as safe as anyone could be. Then a scheduled call a couple of weeks ago happened and just like that, I was gone. So for anyone at PayPal who thinks their performance or relationships will protect them, think again. We're all just numbers. When someone up high decides your time is up, that's it.

I've been here five years and the last five have been miserable. If they offer a package, I'm gone the same day.

ol boy stank will be in San Ramon, probably scouting it out to see if it can be closed down.

I'm struggling here. Every week there's a new rumor about cuts, and just when I think I've got my role figured out, my manager changes what I'm supposed to be doing. I can't plan, I can't relax, and I can't tell if I'm doing well or about to get cut. How are the rest of you surviving this?

Laid off 2 months ago after 28 years with UHG. Devastating! All internal positions I apply for, immediately “they are pursuing other candidates more qualified”. WTH? I’m even applying for job grades lower than when I left & still the same responses.

I’m over 50, was let go as a grade 29, had all 4s & 5s rating every single year. Had a 5th level interview and they chose an EXTERNAL candidate for the role.

Are any employees getting re-hired? Any tips or resources you have?

Any suggestions for companies hiring Optum employees? I appreciate any insight or referrals.

Looks like I’m done. Severance is as least good still.

Godspeed lake Mary.

Looking to see if any word. I’m scared.

If they want me gone, they’re going to have to pay me for it. I’m not playing along with this RTO-driven attrition strategy. Hopefully people see it for what it is and don’t just hand them what they want.

I hope a company with a massive windfall wouldn't do such a thing, though.

They want us to quit? Guess what, you’re stuck with me until you lay me off 🤣

I just can't cope with this job or this place anymore. I'm willing to take a lower-paid job elsewhere, even to risk being unemployed for a couple of months. I know it's a sh-tshow out there, and costs have been going up with no end in sight, but I can barely manage coming in every day. Burnout of the first degree.

Layoff, is it happening if yes when?

I guess we all knew this was coming, but there was always some hope for a last-minute miracle. Well, no miracle or government bailout for us. To all my Spirit folks, stay strong. I'm sure most of us will land on our feet after this, as scary as it may seem now. Good luck, all!
