#layoff

Who on the Operating Council, in your opinion, should our new CEO layoff first?

Was fortunate to eventually land another position. Trying not to take anything for granted and always keep my resume updated. Hope all of you are doing well.

As someone who was not eligible for the vsp, how likely is it that id be laid off instead of someone who was eligible but chose not to take it? Im a CSA ( customer service advocate) and no one on my team has received a meeting invite.Any word on how they’re laying people off? Is it merit based or longevity?It makes no sense to lay off the people who accepted the vsp.

Look like a lot of people in Fideliscare (those who didn’t take VSP) some did not read the part of potential layoff in August and some are nervous.
Another thing some think everything is business as usual yet at the same time management is in meetings. A lot of marketing reps took VSP some leaving SEPT/DEC/MAR

Heard a couple of mgrs. mention in meetings this week that changes are coming to those that roll up to BB and AI (IYKYK who they are) tech directors. Of course, no details.
I'm speculating more layoffs and reorgs? anyone else hear this and/or have intel?

So when will know when the 1st lay off will occur it’s August 7th? I need a report let’s talk about it!

If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d appreciate hearing about:

• How many years had you been with the company?
• What location were you in?
• Was it a complete surprise, or were there warning signs?
• Were you placed on a PIP beforehand, or was it unexpected?
• Were you notified by email, or in a 1:1 meeting?

I think hearing different experiences could help others better understand what to expect.

Norwalk-based Xerox Holdings Corp. eliminated 475 jobs during the second quarter and 1,255 positions during the first half of 2026 as the company integrates Lexmark International and restructures its operations.

100% be cautious of this.. You’ll read a lot of people say something like “oh I got a job during those 60 days and kept the severance”. I did this. Lost my severance. Then got laid off two months later at my new job. 8 months later im back here. In a role 3 levels lower than when I left.

Remember those 60 days you’re still employed. If you accept another role. You aren’t laid off. You’ve now quit.

It’s a notice of potential employment loss due to layoff. If you accept another role during that time you quit your job and took a new job. These companies have automated systems that notify each other. Especially with workday.

Very much do start your job hunt immediately. It’s a long drawn out process with multiple rounds of interviews.

Just don’t accept the role until day 61.

I beg of you - listen to my advice.

This isn’t a layoff post, but it’s a precursor. Word is finally leaking out that Senior Managers are getting individual reports on employees… how active they are, and they’re also able to select platforms by seal ID how much time every employee is spending in each program. What they promised wouldn’t happen is here. Word is leaking out all over corporate sectors and mid managers are warning ppl.

Departure posts on LinkedIn are again on rise? Is it because of PIPs, people retiring or leaving in droves? Whats going on? All the departees seem to be saying how good of an experience they have had but yet leaving?

...because Nielsen's is going to ream the shlt outta ya'll. The Elliott PE / Nielsen blueprint is ruthless. Worth checking out:

Didn't see a WARN notice so maybe it's a surgical layoff.

I guess you can't keep missing earnings every quarter without consequences.

Has anyone who was laid off on July 29 been contacted by HR with their numbers, agreement, and all that? Or are they just so understaffed that it still takes this long? I don’t have any contact info.

If you are laid off during medical leave (receiving STD benefits but no longer in the 12 week FMLA protection period), does the 60 day notice period start the day they call you or the day you return from leave?

I was unfortunate enough to hear a layoff happening live over a video call while in a meeting room from another meeting room, I could hear every word clear as day. Sales operations for sure got hit

Looks like the company is at it again. I was hit back a few months very quietly. This seems to be broader.

Some highlights:

The average trust score for RTO motives sits at a mediocre 59/100.
[...]
A staggering 72% of surveyed employees suspect their company’s RTO mandate is, in fact, attrition by design—a stealth layoff intended to make work life inconvenient enough that people quit voluntarily, allowing the company to reduce headcount without the PR nightmare or financial burden of severance packages.
[...]
Once employees feel they’re being pushed out or misled, their internal monologue shifts from "How can I contribute?" to "How can I protect myself?" Our survey captured the specific ways this tactical presence manifests. The most visible trend is coffee badging—where nearly half the workforce (46%) admits to showing up just long enough to swipe their badge and be "seen" before leaving to work elsewhere. While leadership often turns to strict badge-tracking to ensure productivity, our data suggests that aggressive monitoring actually backfires. We’ve identified a surveillance paradox: the more a company tracks a worker, the less that worker is bought into the company’s mission.
[...]
27.8% of interviewed employees have successfully negotiated a personal exception to the policy, while the rest are left to comply. This creates a visible two-tier workforce, where those without the leverage to opt out feel uniquely targeted. When you combine this lack of equity with the fact that 72% of surveyed employees suspect these mandates are actually stealth layoffs in disguise, the result is a total collapse of traditional corporate loyalty. If the company is perceived to be using office requirements to trigger resignations, employees no longer feel a moral obligation to give 100% of their energy to a single employer.

Is it true that Verizon's Irving office is fully under the control of the body shopping companies? How bad are the lay offs?

Does anyone else suspect TR to exit any product lines? In light of the mass layoff and other indicators? If so, which ones?

I noticed Centene has been posting a large amount of jobs within the past couple of weeks. I’m someone who didn’t take the VSP and doesn’t look like lay-offs are happening in my department. If I apply and get accepted into one of the new jobs will I still keep the years of service I have been here 6+ or will they reset it to whenever the start date of the new role is? I want to make sure I’m covered in case they end up laying off the new roles in 2027/2028.

How long do they make stay after your informed you re being laid off?

Lot of HR employees placed on active displaced list.

It certainly feels like it to me.
