Layoff Details

I’m hoping someone can be kind enough to tell me what is provided in the layoff package? Salary is for every 10k 2 weeks paid? (Been with USAA 7 years) ? But first, you get a 90 day notice? Benefits? I’d really appreciate it if anyone can give me the breakdown? And is it a lump sum or paid month over month? Thanks


Reporting People Leaders

Has anybody ever reported their PL to ethics or HR? They are giving easier assignments to their friends and I am not meeting metrics. Now have a weekly meeting with them and am sure they are looking to try to fire me to not have to pay severance. Trying to see if anybody has had any experience with escalation.

Farewell

I know it’s easy to get online and say whatever you want when you’re hiding behind anonymity.

Centene used to be a company I was genuinely proud to work for. Somewhere along the way, though, the job stopped feeling like work and started feeling like it was draining the life out of me. Every day took a little more than I had left to give.

Walking away is one of the scariest decisions I’ve ever made. I’ll probably never make this kind of money again, at least not anytime soon, and in today’s job market that’s a hard reality to face. But no paycheck is worth sacrificing your peace, your mental health, or waking up dreading every single day.

The hardest part is knowing healthcare just isn’t where I’m supposed to be anymore. These members deserve someone who still has the emotional capacity and compassion to truly show up for them. I don’t want to become the kind of person who stays just because the money is good while giving people less than they deserve.

So I’m choosing myself, even though I have no idea what comes next. It’s terrifying. It’s uncertain. But for the first time in a long time, I can finally breathe.

To everyone whose VRP was accepted, I sincerely wish you the best. I hope this scary leap turns into the fresh start we’ve all been needing.


Forced "Early Retirements" With No Packages

Coming to a Bank near you. In fact, it is already here. Expect more love in the coming months. We are all owners. It's our culture and our people that make us special. AI and P-M are transforming our company. Always do what's "right" Rah Rah Ray Blah blah blah....


An update on Teradata

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to clear a few things up based on some of the talk going around here.

There are no layoffs happening or planned at Teradata right now. We’re still focused on the work, our customers, and supporting each other through everything.

Also, for anyone wondering about the positive comments that show up: nobody from corporate, HR, or the leadership team is posting anonymously on these forums. The positive takes you’re seeing are coming from real people who just want to share their side.
Let’s try to keep things positive with each other. We can disagree and still be respectful... it goes a long way for everyone, including the leadership team and our coworkers.

Appreciate all the hard work people are putting in.


A November 2027 Separation Date Is Insane

there are five extended separation dates according to the updated FAQ:

  • December 2026
  • March 2027
  • May 2027
  • August 2027
  • November 2027

the FAQ details how extended separation dates would impact severance benefits... but being asked to stay until November 2027 is just wild AF to me. my limit is December 2026 and that's pushing it, 'cause I'm over it.


ESPN's Communication Breakdown During Layoffs

Recent layoffs at ESPN have highlighted significant issues in how the company communicates with its employees. Several prominent figures reportedly learned of their terminations through indirect channels, such as social media or news reports, rather than directly from management. This lack of controlled communication has led to a breakdown in trust and raised questions about leadership's execution of these difficult decisions. The article emphasizes that while layoffs are a necessary business function, the process of delivering the news should be handled with professionalism and respect. This incident serves as a cautionary tale for all organizations on the importance of managing sensitive information effectively.
