#layoff

I had 15 years with the company but my department decided to lay me off instead someone that’s been there 2 years. That’s not fair at all. I trained people, was always on time, worked weekends and overtime while being salaried, all that dedication and this is the thanks I get. I’m very hurt and disappointed in UHC. They have no loyalty at all! I will never work for them again good riddance!!

Fcat Team is leveling up! Time for Fcat folks to snag some sweet gigs, internal or external. Get ready to shine!

Is it true that they will lay
off less than 30 people? Is this the total number or the number for each legal entity? End of May is when people will need to leave or when they'll be notified?

New managers have gotten to know team members by now. Do you think they are working on deciding who stays and who goes in second wave?

Lions Services Inc. is laying off 107 people by July 1. The nonprofit textile manufacturer is headquartered in Charlotte. This decision follows the completion of a contract. No comparable replacement work was found. Most affected workers are machine operators and assemblers.

Constellation Brands is closing its Quarry Lake Winery. This facility is located south of Sonoma. Seven workers face job loss on June 25. The closure is part of wider industry trends. Decreased demand drives these market adjustments.

It says over the next 2 years but still. How are you supposed to have any job security like this? I'd been expecting it given how strongly they've recently been pushing metrics leadership can see. And still I'm frustrated and annoyed. It's almost worse that it's "over the next two years" because now I have to start applying elsewhere because I just don't even know if I'm safe or not.

I know it is normal that managers cut off communication with their laid off reportees. My manager was in touch with me on a personal note all of last week after I was impacted, but is now MIA; won’t respond to my calls or texts. This is my first time being laid off (my postpartum brain isn’t helping me think straight). My manager was once my coworker at Nike and we always had a good relationship outside the office, so I am trying to understand if there has been an explicit directive by Nike leadership to not be in touch with laid off employees.

As a people manager, I can confirm I received list of associates I'll have to let go.

My manager probably received the same.

We all have mandatory trainings tomorrow to break the news in stages on Thursday.

Just like level 4-7 associates, level 8 and above won't know their date until Thursday.

I might well be outside the door after breaking news to two of my exceptional performers on Thursday.

So it is happening.

It probably means more layoffs today.

Didn't Srini say last week this was done for a while?...

Will there be any more RIFs in Value?

Hey all, here again. My long tenured role within capital one was not fairly compensated. Amidst my rapid, unjust departure, all I was provided for years of high level work was a cheap necklace from capital one. It’s actually broken and is being held together by my hope and dreams crushed by capital one and their toxic work environment. A cheap necklace is the embodiment of capital one as a company.

When is the next wave of NPC&E layoffs? Specifically Mobility? Specifically Management?

We know layoffs are continuous in other parts of company. The love comes in waves in NPC&E though.

Is there any truth to the rumor that people who received inconsistent performance rating last year due to not following in-office adherence will be laid off? I am on a very small team and I believe I am the only one on my team who got an IP so I’m freaking out. My role is a grade level 3 phone role.

Voya is now eliminating positions in IT due to budget cuts. Most likely outsourcing work to Voya India. I was laid off yesterday morning.

A new House bill proposes changes to student loan forgiveness. H.R. 8475 would allow unemployment deferral months to count toward forgiveness. Currently, these months do not advance the forgiveness timeline. The bill aims to expedite relief for borrowers who lose their jobs. Representative Rosa DeLauro introduced the legislation with Democratic co-sponsors.

Received an invite along with 4 other people to attend a meeting set up by HR in regards to VOE. Could this be a lay off?

100% layoff scheduled for 6/1. So when it doesn’t happen, I’m going to post it’s because the rumor was leaked.

For those of us impacted by the greatest economy of all time and it’s not even close, here’s a LinkedIn template for your layoff with gratitude, grace and a pivot for what’s next!

Thrilled to share a growth opportunity I didn’t see coming.

I’ve been impacted by a recent layoff, and while this wasn’t the outcome I originally envisioned, I’m choosing to see it as a powerful reset and realignment moment.

Endless gratitude to Verizon for the journey, the incredible people, and the experiences that shaped me into the thought leader I am today. Nothing but appreciation as I close this chapter.

Now it’s time to lean into what’s next. The market is…dynamic, and this transition may come with trade-offs—whether that’s compensation, benefits, PTO, or starting fresh without tenure. But growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones.

I’m energized by the chance to rebuild, reimagine, and reinvent.

Because sometimes you don’t get what you wanted—you get what you need.

Open to opportunities. Ready to add value. Let’s connect!

The Camden school district is undergoing a major restructuring. One hundred employees, including the entire central office, received layoff notices. These job eliminations will take effect on June 30. Some affected staff may reapply for newly defined roles. The district attributes these cuts to financial pressures and declining enrollment.

No notice of layoffs in Alpharetta.

Hi, got laid off a month ago , on my garden leave, do you guys mention about your layoff while interview, I understand they would found out..and it's not about hiding, frankly if they specifically ask I would be truthful but otherwise if they found out later background check would that be a red flag?

Centralized space for updates as they are released this week.

Firsthand information only
Include OU and location
No political content
Maintain a respectful and constructive tone - this is stressful for all

The head of wealth insurance distribution, Steve Sugumele, got let go. Anyone know if the insurance business is on the chopping block?

Not here to contribute to saying a layoff is/isn’t gonna happen.

That being said, I took 0 hours of PTO when I was laid off. I was surprised when I had my PTO hours paid out to me in cash. That and equity all paid out to me in a lump sum for each.

So, if you believe you’re getting the axe… don’t take PTO. You’ll be paid a bit more extra as a parting gift.

If I’m laid off, do I need to be 55 to be considered an early retiree with benefits?

Do they ever make exceptions if you’re close to that age?

Good luck everyone. It’s wild out here.
