Anyone info?

Our director lied to our faces (I should have expected it)
I was called into a meeting this morning which was labeled “ check in” bah ha ha it was to let me know that UHC was reducing their workforce! How pathetic! With the company 24 plus yrs in my 50’s and let go???? Still scratching my head!

Does anyone know who leaked the layoffs in 2025? Can we get another person to take one for the team and leak it again?

Seeking some verification regarding potential headcount reductions within TDKYC and the AML remediation project. Reports suggest that both full-time employees and contractors may be impacted as project phases conclude or as part of the bank's broader restructuring. Can anyone provide insight into whether these specific groups are currently in scope for layoffs?

If you got told to WFH and are in LM what group are you in. Just make it broad we don’t need to know your manager or anything but everyone just saying they got told to WFH and leaving it at that isn’t helping anyone out lmao

Are all of them who have been given 4 (no pip) this year and rif'ed later are ineligible for rehire? If anyone is hiring manager here confirm it?

EMPLOYEES THAT WERE LAID OFF!!

WHAT IS YOUR LOGIC IN KI-LING CONVERSE SLOWLY UNDER YOU

Previous cuts severely affected social service programs. The workers union advocates for alternatives and earlier employee notification.

Just curious if anyone has insight - I was impacted on 3/31 but was contacted by Oracle for positions they are trying to fill for the VA. I submitted my application(s) and also have been networking within Oracle Health. It seemed positive, but things have gone "quiet" and I have received the "Dear John" rejects about my applications.

Any insight?

So someone mentioned there being a realignment in my area after the next employee survey. Anyone know of any lay offs in May?

If you were getting a sum of 27k severance pre tax, how much would that be after taxes are taken out? Is it like 19k?

There are a lot of concerns about the international market being included in potential layoffs. Has anyone heard any rumours?

Any intel on layoffs in Optum Serve?

Is this the last round of layoffs or will it continue in phases through 2026 and into 2027 as well?

Did any other managers get an email of direct reports to cut?

Thanks to shares and bonus, my Box 5 comp went up over 50% last year. Yet, I still want to escape. wtf is wrong with me? Am I a spoiled little sh-t or what?

My CL says the job market is bad right now. I've been at Fidelity a long time and feel anxiety about my comfort zone being so narrow. Especially in light of the pending org changes. I don't have a graduate degree. I am young-ish and nearly saved $1mm nw thanks to this place. I am spending exorbitant time outside working hours to secure my financial future but the pressure is about to make me crack.

I feel like i would be totally lost if I quit or got layoff. But some days, I feel tempted to say phuket and make a scene at the office....

Article published that Infosys won a GCC (outsource work to India) worth $500 Million. Well done Steve, but about 25 years too late and now wasting the company’s money. Scarier thing is Bill and the board even think this is a good idea. Our jobs are even more at risk across tech ops and data. I’m sure the OC (aka purple ponies) will visit on the corporate jets.

Bets on the next layoff:

1. Fall 2026
2. Holiday 2026
3. Spring 2027
4. Summer 2027

My guess is Spring 2027.

Does anyone else work past 40 hrs to get the work done but only log 40? They threaten to PIP or fire if all the work isn’t done EOM, so we’re all working free OT (we are hourly). This is exhausting. I’d rather just be laid off at this point.

To build 100 billion dollar company after more than 50 years ?

To turn a 100 billion dollars company into more than 400 billion dollars less than one year just by laying off workers?

Did anyone hear about any recent layoffs?

On April 28

No layoffs. Just trolls

That's what everyone seems to agree on. Good thing I don't care enough to be stressed about it.

I was hoping for this outcome. I don't have another job lined up, like most of us don't. I'm going to take a break, decompress, and then figure out what's next. Good luck to everyone, especially the real pros and the good people I had the pleasure of working with. My advice to everyone still at Nike is to focus on finding something else. It will not get better around here.

How can you lay off 1400 people and not lay off a single VP in the process. I think that exposes the true purpose of this layoff more than anything else.

Hi all,

I was laid off today and received a link to a box folder for my end of employment documents.

I have my email and password but everytime I login, it asks for a 2FA code. Its been years since I logged in or did anything in personal box account. I dont remember setting up MFA.

So I cannot seem to access/login. Anyone had similar issues ?

One Senior Director was asked to deliver the bad news. He did it.
The day after, he was laid off.
The question is: How can you trust?

Just got displaced. Understand that as an individual I cannot start a new role during this timeframe, but if I have an LLC, then my single-member company gets paid and not me as an individual. Any thoughts? Any useful, constructive thoughts?
