Temple University to Reduce Workforce Amid Budget Shortfall

Temple University plans to cut $60 million from its budget. This action addresses a projected $85 million deficit for 2026-27. President John Fry stated that employee layoffs are inevitable. The university has not disclosed the exact number of affected positions. Previous measures included a faculty retirement program and eliminating vacant roles.

Life After Verizon???

Of those who were RIFed in December 2025, how many have landed another position? Full-time, part-time or contract? How long did it take you? Cold application or networking?

Or, are you still career hunting? Frustrations and challenges? ATS, AI, etc.?

Or, if you are eligible to retire, did you?


Leaving Centene with a package is not a bad thing

Take it from somebody who was laid off last year. Looking at where the company is now, I can safely said that being cut helped me dodge a bullet. I'm honestly relieved to be out of there. Severance was more than enough to get me to my next job (took me close to three months to find one). My new job pays a little less, but it has better bennies and much better job security. I'm genuinely happy now. I know everybody is nervous with the wait, but just take this into consideration.


Make sure you're prepared

I'm always confused when people say they were caught off guard by layoffs. How? We know layoffs are always a possibility and every single person should act accordingly all the time. Save your money, keep your skills updated, update your resume, network, and keep an eye out on who's currently hiring. Make your own lives easier, folks.


goodbye Dell

Got laid off last week after 10 years of work.
My manager joined the regular 1x1 on Tuesday and started reading "the script" . After that, crickets.
My VP, with whom I worked for a number of years, didn't even acknowledge me. So much for all the late night calls and weekend escalations. Not even a private reply to a goodbye email. Meh.


How and where to sign up for Cobra

i got let go May 19. still can't find a job. not surprise. According to NetApp, they will continue to pay 3-4 months of Health Insurance before July 18, but need to enroll or sign up before July 18. They never mentioned how to enroll or any link, Anyone got let go might be in the same boat. can you share? thanks


Can’t you just go back to your previous team?

I have been moved around to multiple teams since COVID (same job title and same pay, though). It appears our team will probably be laid off by this next Tuesday after payday as the work we did is being handled by original team that should have been working the cases anyway., but my question is, has anyone had success convincing HR to let you go back to your previous team vs. being displaced? I mean, it’s not my fault I am on the team that I am on. I was just flexible and adaptable but I would really like to go back to one of my previous teams rather than being laid off.


So Disgusted

For so many reasons. I actually liked work and thought good company. Worked hard but was ok with that. Now we VSP and your performance doesn’t matter been here 9 years meeting the metric etc great reviews and am now getting the same package as someone who rested on their laurels. So unfair they don’t give a cr-p about us. VSP looks better for them vs layoffs. VSP is u get the extra severance bonus and cobra. Layoff less but maybe just won’t get the extras. Not huge difference. Going with VSP but feeling like I’m signing under duress cuz if we don’t it’s layoffs. The whole thing just su-ks all around


When to accept new job offer?

Based on the language in the VSP offer details, does anyone know if accepting a job offer before your last day with Centene and before you officially sign the VSP agreement will void your eligibility for the VSP and you won't receive your severance payment?

Or should you only officially accept a job offer with another employer after your last day with Centene and after you sign the VSP agreement in September?


Malone Hospital Nurses Secure New Agreement

Nurses at a Malone hospital approved a recent contract. This agreement, ratified by union members, spans four years. Annual pay increases are three percent. Workplace violence protections are improved. Layoff notification requirements are increased.

I will be quiet quitting for the rest of my time here

Until I find a new job, most of my energy will be spent on that search. FIS doesn't care if you're a hard worker, it'll show you the door either way. So no point in trying. I'll give my minimum and save my energy for my next company, which will hopefully be better in treating its best employees.


Boston Public Schools to Lay Off Staff

Boston Public Schools notified hundreds of teachers and classroom aides about potential job losses. Over 500 newer teachers and 102 paraprofessionals received non-renewal notices. These reductions stem from a $53 million budget shortfall and declining enrollment. The School Committee approved a $1.7 billion budget eliminating nearly 570 positions. Layoffs are based on seniority, likely impacting newer educators and teachers of color.

One Big Beautiful Bill

I highly recommend reading up on the “One Big Beautiful Bill' signed recently. Understanding the details of this legislation provides a lot of insight into the broader industry shifts, which explains why the company is offering the VSP and discussing potential layoffs right now.


VSP Denial

in the slim chance your VSP application is denied, what is your plan? I can’t decide whether to put in my two weeks immediately or wait for the layoff notification.

I’m leaning towards putting in my two weeks.

I don’t believe the business will deny the application to just decide to lay us off two weeks later. I do see the business trying to work us to death for a few more months, then decide they don’t need us and give us the boot then.

I already two the work of 2.5 FTEs, I’m not taking on anything more.


Change job internally - more at risk?

I have been within current VP org for the last 5 years. I see a good opportunity moving in another group. Did a few interviews and manager said I’m the perfect fit.

My question is, am I more at risk of WFR shifting roles internally? As in, would be the first one to go (if the manager was asked to make headcount reductions).

Thoughts?


Layed off while in the hospital

I was in the hospital and got notification that I was terminated. Not a phone call, no warnings, nothing. Just an email to my personal email while I am in the hospital. The reason? I missed one of his team meetings. He even complained that I took Teams calls from my phone vs computer. Teams on phone exist for a reason, no one was ever on camera when I did join on computer so I just started taking them from my phone because my couch is a bit more comfortable. Once I got the complaint I adjusted and joined from computer with camera on, while no one else was on camera. PIP was impossible to complete the way he structured it, lead was 100% useless in training and leading. Lead was a good dude, bad leadership. Manager was an absolute di-khead, I have never been treated the way this man treated me in a professional position. I had a 1 on 1 with him and I explained how fundamentality different our styles are for selling. I made club multiple times at previous position and I have connections all over to get us in the door, I knew most of the field from previous positions and they all trust me. Guess why, I am good at what I do. Good riddance.


PTO Payout & Final Regular Pay

Just a note for those confused by the info provided in the Displacement Packet regarding the timing...

PTO and Final Paycheck for me were just deposited in my bank account on the last day of my 60-day non-working period. Thought it would be next week, but no. Submitting my Lump Sum request tomorrow (1st day of my "free agency"). I'll let you know how long that takes to process.

Worked in Tech...Cybersecurity.


OHA Reduces Staff Amid $90 Million Budget Gap

The Oregon Health Authority is cutting jobs due to a $90 million budget gap. Nine to ten higher-level staffers are being laid off by July 31. This initial round precedes an anticipated $421 million in federal Medicaid cuts. These future cuts could cause 200,000 Oregonians to lose health care coverage. Employees express concerns about transparency, morale, and potential service reductions.
