#layoff

Most of the people I know are 40 or above, and just a few in their 30s. That doesn't sit right with me.

Had a “business update” meeting. Gave essentially no information, saying layoff coming but not saying who or when. Just to expect trainings with offshore. This was weird as it involved a few different teams and they suggested that some teams will have little to no impact. Seems off that we are getting an earlier notification instead of just the one call with a definitive timeline. Why would they even tell us? I’ve heard before of departments training replacements but being told it was for additional workforce. Are they sensing that that wouldnt fly today?

Is the timeline for the September layoff wave known?

Just got out of a planning meeting with Managing Director. HIH is having another 3000-5000 seats prepped and our team needs to have SOPs and documentation ready, hire HIH now, and be ready to lose a chunk of US and IRE employees on 10/8.

I’m nauseous and over it.

Layoffs happening right now.

Does anyone know first hand that was laid off by Centene previously, how long it was before the severance was received? 3 weeks? A month?

Face it, guys.

Layoffs are imminent. Even if your job is safe today, there's always a chance you could be affected in the next round.

Don't waste your energy stressing about what you can't control. If you have the opportunity to find a better job, take it. If not, keep preparing.

Fear won't help you. Keep learning, keep improving, and keep leveling up. If you're good at what you do, there will always be opportunities.

And before anyone asks—I'm doing the same. Whether I survive the layoffs or get laid off, I'm already preparing for the next opportunity.

This is stressing me out a lot more than I would like it to. :/ If you apply for jobs that are hiring now, they won't want to wait until September. I see two options:
1- You get a job offer now, take it and loose out on the severance pay.
2- Decline job offers and risk not being able to get a job when the time comes but get the severance pay. (Assuming your VSP is accepted and everything with metrics goes smoothly in order to get the VSP..)
I wish they would just let me go now because there's so much of not knowing it's torture. I can't shake the feeling that they're gonna fire people for any reason they can so they don't have to give the VSP. But I've never been at a company that was doing layoffs and felt my job was at risk, so maybe I'm being dramatic.

I hear A layoff is approaching at Phoenix, AZ Peak location.
They are cutting costs with tenured employees and hiring
unlicensed people to train with no experience.

If you are reading this, and you received the non-descript meeting invite from Coworker Services, I am so very sorry.

Which department(s) are impacted - asking so we can rally around those being laid off.

Sometimes, managers facing uncertainty about their own roles may make employee layoff decisions in an effort to protect their position, although the reasons for layoffs are often complex and vary by organization.

Microsoft is reportedly preparing to cut thousands of jobs as early as next week. These layoffs could affect less than 2.5% of its total workforce. Xbox, sales, and consulting roles are expected to be impacted. This move follows a pattern of tech giants trimming traditional headcount. The timing aligns with Microsoft's fiscal year-end budget review.

Phoenix-based Central Admixture Pharmacy Services announced 116 layoffs. The pharmaceutical company filed a WARN notice on June 25. CAPS is the nation's largest network of outsourcing admixture pharmacies. These layoffs contribute to a weakening Arizona job market. The state's unemployment rate rose to 4.8% in May.

Because the question around how long it takes to get a severance lump sum payment processed has been asked numerous rimes, by myself included, I thought I'd share my experience. It took two weeks. My guess is as long as they get it and acknowledge it early in a pay cycle window, they'll process it in that window.

Previously I did 1 year coop at imperial oil in 2023-2024. Now as many people have resigned. They are offering me a position in Edmonton.

Any views? Honestly what their future plans will they layoff again in 1-3 years?

Honest views required

I survived all of the previous cuts and was hoping to hang on long enough for the company to become profitable again. No such luck, I guess.

Like others have mentioned, it was a great place to work with great team members. And the hardest part of this is having a recruiter reach out to me with a job position that seemed like I would be a good fit for only to learn that it was the one at OSTK that I was just let go from. (The recruiter didn't notice this when they looked at my profile.)

And now I don't know what to think. Was I letting my team members down without knowing about it. If so, I would have hoped that they would have said so before it came to this instead of always giving me good reviews.

Anyway, it was hard enough when I thought it was more downsizing, but it's even harder thinking that it may have been for some other reason that I will always have to guess about.

been there just 8 months, got laid off today with several peers. big changes to the sales/partner org. really cr-ppy to have been lured away from a good job only to have my OT position eliminated a few months after I started.

Laid off in April. Wondering what PSP will be, if anything. Thank you.

Corporate re org now LCM gone? Or redundancies more likely?

12:00 pm and still no emails. Wanted to make an updated thread about the supposed mass layoffs happening today. Anyone get any correspondence today or heard any news regarding NJ offices/SEA operations in general?

This site is called "TheLayoff.com", not "YouNeedATherapistButWontGetOne.com"...

it would be cool if anyone had any ACTUAL layoff information to post instead of having to read a bunch of grown adults bashing anything they can to cope with their fear of being laid off.

Not something that already happened, but anything on what's coming?

Are they actually going to make us wait until August 10th to know if we are still here? That is so far away.

It is BS that we are not provided this information (Separation agreement and general release) so we can make an informed decision. The vsp line is a joke. They pretty much do not answer any questions and refer you back to the question and answered document that was shared.

Any other groups asked to come in and work the holiday? This company can get bent. maybe stop laying people off and forcing people to quit and you won't be behind.

I worked for Dell for 20 years and I was told that I can't recieve references from management or co workers. Nor can active Dell employees contact me post layoff. Has this happened to others?

coworker got laid off few months back and i had to absorb 100% of his workload and was thanked for being a team player and stepping up, now i get feedback on not being fast enough with that added workload. is this a strategy to push me out?

Just for S&Gs, send boss an email, “I’ve deleted the legal hold folders as you’ve directed before turning in my laptop. I think you’ll be safe.”

There is another round of layoffs looming. It’s going to start today. Half of my team got an invite to a call at noon with our director & a member of HR. I’m not sure how deep this round goes.
