anyone have insight into what the terms are when it comes to returning to the organization and paying back the severance? is it the same terms for everyone regardless of the amount? thinking I might be able to swing taking a year off.

I think it's possible for the organization to do what they need to do (restructuring, restabilize) and then I can see how things are a year from now.

also are there non-competes? I would hope they wouldn't tell us that we couldn't go to UHC, Cigna, Humana, etc... personally I don't feel like an organization should dictate what my next career move is.

California introduced a new tool on Thursday. It serves as an early warning system for AI-driven job loss. The "California AI-Unemployment Tracker" links AI exposure to unemployment claims. This system monitors for labor market disruption in real time. Currently, no widespread AI-driven layoffs are indicated statewide.

Comments if your exit date is set as your departure (taking the package), Or choosing to roll. There are few internal jobs posting but not sure if real or posted just for fake pretend. I applied for every job I could, over 100 internal jobs. Four interviews, but no offer.

Tough job market currently, hope few land.

What is the cooling off period for rehiring employees who were laid off in May?

He expects a cut, notes that it will be sizable but 'reasonable' (whatever that means). When I pressed with numbers did not want to share anything. I said 20K, he said unlikely, I said 10K he said maybe. Take it for what it's worth. I typically trust him as he's a good person and we have a close relationship (long story) but wanted to share that.

20 production workers across 4 shifts at Johns Creek yesterday. First time in the 14 years I've worked for Alcon that techs were let go. It's always been engineering and middle management in the past. Luckily we've been getting their contract/temp replacements trained up.

I hereby nominate as tribute to the layoff gods... whoever is running the elevator project and whoever designed these stupid 250 shirts. by the gods!

I was laid off from from ORX today. I applied to a few internal positions last month, and I got laid off... Be warned!!

Should I be worried something is brewing?

I made it through the layoff the last few times and now I'm drowning in everyone else's work.

Third? Fourth?

Do you know when do we lose system access if we're laid off? The moment we're notified or at a later time?

Layoffs started today at optum
2 of my 10 person team were let go today

Layoffs are bad press, so layoffs are coming in the form of su-king money from you until you have had enough- or simply cannot afford to work here anymore. Parking in Pittsburgh just went up by 50% with no contact person, not posted on my source to allow for questions. It was bad enough they stole 5% of bonuses of lower-income employees to inflate their stock price. What happened to “we understand the parking concerns, we’re trying to help” (Mike? Eric?) … how does raising prices help Pittsburgh’s lack of parking and public transportation options? You’re putting the burden of this company bleeding money onto your employees. Don’t act friendly in the halls and then stab us in the back on paper.

They have just started to do major Layoffs nationwide!!!!!!!!!!!! They have not announced anything and are telling employees to keep it hush.
Positions are being dissolved, and are encouraging people to apply to other positions within the organization

Sounds like this offer is going to very disappointing in its size and numbers offered.That coupled with fact if it’s offered too late the rate is only going to get worse affecting the size of the lump later in year.Im so confused on what is taking so long for an Eisp offer for union associates.I know they have a bunch of warn notices for management layoffs maybe they are waiting till after that no clue why.I was just hoping for something really Big and enhanced

RTO is absolutely driving me crazy. I'd quit tomorrow if I could afford it, but since I can't now I just keep hoping they lay me off.

East Tx and north Tx being laid off today, some peeps already saying their good byes on teams

Our manager went on leave and let us know a few days later through email he was no longer with the company. Now we're sitting here without a manager not sure if he was fired, laid off, or just left on his own. Frankly, he wasn't a great guy so I don't really care about him, but it'd be good to know if it's a sign of something to come for my team.

The consultants hired for the F2BOW initiative have set a target headcount reduction of 60-100. This is for business only, tech headcount reductions haven’t been determined yet, but they said there is significant “capacity creation” there as well. No set date, but probably later this year.

Is it over yet

Management only knows how to cut, so layoffs will never stop. Time to accept reality.

If there are layoffs today then emails would have already gone out. If people aren't seeing emails then maybe the rumor was false?
