#layoff

I got my VSP offer this morning and am considering it. I'm trying to figure out what I would get if I don't accept it, and get laid off instead. Does anyone know what the typical severance is during these rounds of layoffs? I'd like to compare it to my VSP offer.

No email yet. Does that mean I’m safe? Are emails being rolled out thru the day? I’m mid age, 4-5 years in, and nobody special so wondering why I’m ineligible if that’s the case.

I just opened my severance package, and I’m honestly a little flabbergasted. After being employed 8 years with the company, my offer is less than $25,000.

What concerns me even more is the wording. It keeps saying “you may” instead of clearly stating what will happen. Nothing about it feels guaranteed, which makes me question whether they’re actually committing to what they’re offering OR trying to to terminate me prior to the Sept 1st date.

Surgical layoffs coming in August after secret post-op analysis is completed of current AI and offshoring initiative. Not mass cuts but not small either. Please make sure you have 6 months of pay (gross) in a savings or money market account for your emergency fund. You have been 'WARN'ed.

I was hired a few weeks before the hiring freeze and haven’t built up a cushion to survive off of yet. I just graduated and moved here for the job. I’ll be royally sc--wed if I get cut whenever they start doing actual layoffs 😬

bla bla bla A I bla bla we think about future and consider significant layoffs globally.

no decisions, no dates, but polish site future is unclear. Did other EU/US get same msg today or only us?

PS. guy who came was from powerflex and spoke to whole R&D site.

Like seriously, go! It’s time to leave.

Are you seeing the rates being subsidized ? The paperwork said cobra will be subsidized to what one paid as active employee for the x weeks of severance. Cobra paperwork has a scandalous $ for indi+ family. Any leads on how you addressed this ? TIA.

It’s evident that a seasoned professional knew he is unable to save this company and the company’s performance is damaging his professional reputation . Changing hands is just delaying the inevitable. The replacement was a necessity and nothing more. Good luck guys.

How are those of us here that got laid off / job eliminated / reduction in force / replaced by HIH / replaced by Indian substandard cheaper labor doing?

Have you all moved on or still bitter?

Are coders affected by this mess? Wtf seriously we all have to stress again

Are the layoffs for payments as well?

Just heard about employees let go in Underwriting in Hudson (RMBC). Anyone know anything?

I opened a ticket on late Wed, as of now, still no support engineer to chat me, the guy I chatted with said someone would be with me in 10-15min, but no one even after 5h, fu-k him, I am working for a company who probably pay $500M to Oracle per year, this is really sh-t!

Been hearing they'll be layoffs in June on the corporate side, specifically June 19th but because of the 70 on June 12th, are we good? Or still expected?

How often does headquarters in BP do layoffs? Looking to join company but would like to gauge job security there. And out of curiosity, do you really need to be "highly extroverted" per the culture. Thx in advance.

This thread highlights how toxic this company has become - both Optum and UHC. Highly recommend, share this in all social media and let it go viral.. this is much needed to drain the toxic nuclear swap that is UHC!

Monday June 15th shall be surplus announcement for Leg T CWA workers thus VTP will happen with most celebrating joyously as we collect our up to 104 weeks pay per contract laughing our fckng @$$es off! It especially will be fun to forever laugh at the nay-sayers.

The next set of layoffs are scheduled, July 15th, Sept16th, Nov 18th and Jan. 20th. AI is suppposedly going to replace all of the those roles. The rumor is a 25% headcount reduction globally.

I'm trying to stay informed but I haven't seen anything solid.

Say what you want about this place, but for me, it's still one of the best jobs I've had. Pay is fine. Work is interesting. Coworkers are great. That's why I'm scared of getting laid off. I don't want to go.

7/7/2026

If you got the offer, consider yourself lucky. I missed it by just a few years. It's a great offer I'd have jumped at. Oh, well. It is what it is, I guess. I wonder if we'll have involuntary layoffs if not enough people accept and what kind of package will be offered in that case.

Does anyone have insight into the process or timeline of laying off an entire department of individual contributors and moving the positions offshore?

Does Optum ever hire temporary US contractors to replace us first and then eventually move to offshoring?

Debating on giving 2 week notice for a Grade 12 position but concerned they could turn around and fire me. Thoughts?

Does anyone know when they're going to start letting people go? I've heard July but I'm not sure. Could be later.

FY2027 layoffs have officially started

Imagine getting 10-percented, losing your job with no severance package, after working hard for a multi-billion dollar company for decades, just so the executive team can save a little money and look good to their investor overlords. Smh

I am asked to relocate to this year. But I don't have my team there. So, I asked for Dallas and it was unofficially granted. My husband has been laid off due to org restructure just 2 weeks ago and his health has gone down drastically, requiring at least 2 months to recover. I have asked for an extension for next year in current place but did not get granted, while my peers did not receive letters. If I don't relocate, i will lose my job too. Not sure how to navigate this with kids.

Anyone any idea when notifications will go out and who will they come from ?

we all know it’s coming in June per Corkey Anthony. are we getting a courtesy email or will it be google-esque with a simple lockout of your account. would prefer the latter so i won’t have to do cr-p for 2 weeks

Wayfair Layoff for Global Partner Retail Enablement was made today. Unsure how many were impacted, but roles across Cross Journey Operations and Analytics were impacted today. Apparently not considered a "RIF" since it was a smaller headcount.

How many of you wish they were laid off already?

Every time there's a layoff, they let go of the people who've been around the longest and know the most. The ones who can solve problems in five minutes that take new people five days. Then a few months later they realize the work isn't getting done anymore. So they hire two or three people to try to do what that one person used to do. How is that good for business?

Eko announced layoffs at its Bentonville facility. The article provides no details on the number of employees affected. It also does not state the reasons for these job cuts. Further information regarding the layoffs was not included. The report is very brief.
