And here come the displacements

When the strategy is "do more with less," somehow it's always the people doing the work who end up doing less... because they no longer have a job.
Another round of collections and IT displacements. The folks who kept systems running, helped customers, solved problems, and cleaned up the messes are thanked with a meeting and a severance packet.
Nothing says "valuing people" quite like calling layoffs a "business transformation."
Wishing everyone impacted the best. Companies can replace positions on an org chart, but they don't replace the experience, dedication, and relationships those employees built.


Not a VSP

I think some people are missing the point of other posts regarding if one should be worried about their job or not. YES alot of people know we weren’t eligible for the VSP including myself, we get that, we know…….but that doesn’t mean we aren’t worried about our jobs either! Those that have a separation date know at some point their job ends, but what about the ones that dont have that? I see lots of people saying what their department head or PL tell them, seems like you all have way more information than those who weren’t eligible for VSP. If we’re NOT eligible for the vsp does that mean we’re safe? With a lot of us having less than 2 years what are the odds we’d get cut? Ive heard nothing regarding the call center……nearly everyone on ny team has been here over 2 years……so if they all get cut by accepting the VSP or Involuntary layoffs…..what would that mean for me or my other coworkers?


Pixar Uses Ironic Letterhead for Layoffs

Pixar is reducing its workforce by 108 employees, with most departures scheduled by late September. The animation studio's layoff notices have drawn significant attention due to the use of branded stationery. The letterhead prominently features Mrs. Incredible, a character known for her resilience, in place of a letter in the Pixar logo. This choice has been widely criticized online as tone-deaf and ironic, especially given the context of job losses. The cuts are part of a larger restructuring effort by The Walt Disney Company.

Healthcare System Workforce Reductions Continue

Several major healthcare systems have recently announced significant workforce reductions. Dignity Health is laying off 139 employees across two hospitals in California. Adventist Health is also cutting 132 roles as it centralizes certain functions. These actions reflect ongoing financial pressures and strategic realignments within the healthcare industry. Many organizations cite rising costs and the need for operational efficiencies as reasons for these difficult decisions.

Please Indicate if You Are Hispanic or Latino?

I've been throwing out loads of applications after being laid off and one of the questions asked when submitting your resume is if you are hispanic or latino, this seems strange to me considering they then ask for your ethnicity. Now of course its your choice whether to answer or not but for the hispanic or latino question there is only yes or no. This is the case through Workday applications for numerous companies, does anyone know why?


ISP packages

I wasn’t eligible for VSP. If RIF’d, what can I expect? There’s nothing in policy any longer surrounding severance. Will I even get a couple weeks work of pay for just under 2y of service? Anyone have historical knowledge?


IF ANYONE HAS INFO ON THE INVOLUNTARY LAYOFF PLEASE SHARE HERE

I feel like the company is just committing psychological warfare at this point. I called HR this morning, and they said the HR department is not informed at all about involuntary layoffs. This whole process from upper "management" goes beyond unprofessional. Sarah London stated that there would be layoffs in the first week of August. I am now hearing that the date is changing or that most people, including PLs don't even know what is going on. I get having to wait for VSP results, but if the fu--ing ceo says layoffs are a certain date, I would hope they would honor that statement. I'm just so stressed and over all of this bullsh-t.


Hey Centeamers!!!

With all the VSP's approved and separation dates staggered from early September 2026 to end of 2027, we will still possibly have involuntary layoffs occur in mid August 2026 to help the company save some money. Even though we can't be transparent enough to tell you for sure, please keep work hard and diligently to ensure our providers and members are extremely satisfied.


Stuck

Im confused…..if they have what seems to be a lot of people taking the vsp……why would they leave us hanging until mid August?? There’s tons of people who volunteered to take the vsp…..but apparently theres still a layoff threat? Shouldnt the people who took the vsp be the first to go and that be enough since they basically volunteered ?


Two Washington Casinos to Cease Operations

Maverick Gaming will close two of its Washington state casinos by the end of July. This decision impacts over 100 jobs as part of the company's bankruptcy restructuring. The closures are attributed to regulatory changes and a lack of competitive surveillance technology. These shutdowns follow previous layoffs and property closures by Maverick Gaming. The company operates 27 properties across three states.

Layoff Criteria

Got this from someone who was laid off. Decision was made based on:

1) retention cost (those who have not been promoted for a long time in the same position, or those close to retirement age)
2) performance reviews from last 2 years (NS = chopping block)
3) last in first out (new hires)
