As long as I'm given decent severance, I'll happily leave this place behind. I don't see anything positive in Oracle's future, at least when it comes to employees, so getting out sooner rather than later would be a win in my book. Again, as long as I get paid to leave.

Laid off? Public Service Announcement
If you get laid off and your manager insinuates he/she had no choice he’s a fu--ing useless liar (common for Danaher managers with no ba--s). It means he doesn’t care because he is a coward, didn’t fight for you, or wanted you gone. That and he decided to rate you low on potential for whatever reason.
Don’t ever listen to these corporate frauds who tell you ‘it’s above their pay grade or head’ or some other nonsense.
It was THEIR fault and equally your bosses boss. So those two are the ones who should be targeted when you seek revenge.
I’m really tired of the Stockholm syndrome and delusion of some employees here thinking their manager is an angel and on their side when these events happen. They aren’t.
Make sure not to overcommit
I thought it was a good idea to keep piling on extra work to make myself layoff-proof. Instead, I'm now drowning, my work quality is significantly suffering, and I've set an unsustainable standard. I might have actually made myself a target by being stretched too thin.
WARN Act Violation
Since they announced the layoff at 3pm on Weds, and laid everyone off by 2pm Thursday, wouldn’t that violate the WARN Act? Don’t they have to give a 60 day notice?
Package Please
Anyone else just wants a package at this point? I rather take the money. Leave this place and search for a new job with a long paid break. I think they purposely don’t pay us enough to make enough to save and leave.
Those waiting to be put out of their misery
Taking into account the company's cash position, have you considered the possibility that you may not even get a severance?
Carefully pick who gets a layoff
It would be better to layoff people who don’t want to be there. The people who are cheering for layoff because they don’t like being there. These are people they should pick for layoffs. They are going to leave anyway. They are not motivated. Have low morale because they don’t like the changes. The people remote also qualify for layoff. People who have average of 2days or less RTO should also be qualified for a layoff. People who have been at walgreens for years and have a high salary should also qualify for layoff. People close to retirement should also qualify for a layoff. Managers that don’t manage and don’t contribute should also qualify for layoffs. Overall, I think we may have 1500 people like that. Then what you have left is people who wanted to stay and like to work.
Survivor's Guilt
To those who have been RIF'd, I'm sorry. I hope that you find something better.
Does anyone else experience the guilt when you are left when other are cut??
Layoffs on the legacy CVS side?
Looks like Aetna has layoffs. Anything on the PBM/Retail side?

What is ailing big bank?
Go to any of the other banks' board on layoff.com and it's the same as Citi - people complaining about RIF's, forced low rankings, little raise completely out of touch with modern inflation and lowered bonuses...bank of america, JP, Wells, BNY, State Street. All of those boards look identitical to Citi's layoff board. Yet, bank's profits, including Citi, are high and stocks at record highs.
What's the issue for such low employee morale at big banks?
Wanting to leave
Anybody know how to get offered the severance package if you were moved to another team? I got moved to a new department without any say in it, and I'd rather have the severance instead.
15% layoffs expected

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of NJ To Cut 242 Jobs by April Amid Financial Pressures
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey will lay off 242 employees by April 26. A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filing confirmed this. The cuts slice away nearly 5% of the company's U.S. workforce.

New layoff round happened Feb 2
People were cut across some businesses .. what have u guys heard? I saw and heard people where I am pushed out
What are you hearing about Feb 9th week for Support Office layoffs?
Tons of rumors about layoffs starting Wednesday or Thursday, followed by a town hall. And/or significant re-organization. What groups are you hearing will be impacted? Are there any areas deemed "safe" from layoffs? Feels like something big is about to happen.
The word salads are coming to an end!
I am reliably informed that Stevie is next in line to be laid off, he’s off to HP to accelerate their downfall. When 2 dumpster fires collide.
Multiple manager level layoff
At the current scale, multiple layers of management are not required. For teams of approximately 50 employees, one manager is sufficient to ensure effective supervision and decision-making. Maintaining additional management layers leads to unnecessary overhead and increased costs without proportional value.
Layoffs
I was layed off AFTER thw all clear email went out. Way to break my heart..
Layoffs coming soon?
Are there any other rumors besides restaurants product for layoffs coming up? I feel like one is coming soon. It’s too quiet and it can’t only be that one department.
Understanding The WARN Act: A Survival Guide for Corporations Who’d Rather Not Warn Anyone
How large corporations (purely hypothetically, of course…) elegantly sidestep WARN Act Requirements with the grace of a tax‑optimized ballerina.
Dear Valued Human Capital Unit,
As part of our ongoing commitment to Transparency™, Integrity™, and ***Doing Whatever Minimizes Our Regulatory Exposure™, we’d like to explain how the WARN Act works — and how we, as a forward‑thinking enterprise, heroically avoid triggering it.
“We Value Transparency — Which Is Why We Carefully Avoid Situations That Require It.”
Because nothing says transparency like never triggering a legal obligation to be transparent.
What the WARN Act Actually Says
The WARN Act requires companies to give advance notice before big layoffs:
- Federal WARN: 60 days
- New York WARN: 90 days (because New York likes to go big)
A “mass layoff” is triggered when a company lets go of a certain number of employees in a short window.
In other words:
If we fire too many of you at once, we have to tell you in advance.
And we can’t have that.
“We Care Deeply About Our People.”
Just not enough to notify them 60–90 days in advance.
How Even the Most Admired Companies Gracefully Avoid WARN Requirements
Below is our Strategic Workforce Optimization Playbook™, designed to ensure that no WARN notice ever darkens your inbox.
1. The “Rolling Layoff” Ballet
Why lay off 250 people at once when you can lay off:
- 20 this week
- 20 next week
- 20 the week after (and so on... and so on...)
Each batch is too small to trigger WARN.
It’s like slicing a pizza into 64 pieces so you can claim you “barely ate anything.”
“If We Fire You in Small Enough Groups, It Doesn’t Count.”
It’s not a mass layoff — it’s a series of unfortunate Tuesdays! :(
“We Believe in Right‑Sizing.”
And, just like our P-O-M model, right‑sizing is always easier when done in small, WARN‑free batches.
2. Performance Recalibration™ (formerly known as “forced ratings”)
If we classify your departure as “performance‑related,” it magically stops being a layoff.
This is why your rating went from “Exceeds Expectations” to “Needs Immediate Adult Supervision” overnight.
It’s not personal.
It’s math.
“Your Performance Didn’t Drop — Our Need to Avoid WARN Spiked.”
Funny how that works.
3. Voluntary‑Involuntary Resignation™
We gently encourage you to resign by offering:
- A severance package
- A relocation to a city you’ve never heard of
- A return‑to‑office mandate >1,200 miles from your home
- A performance plan written by someone who’s never met you
If you resign, it doesn’t count as a layoff.
If it doesn’t count as a layoff, we don’t owe WARN notice.
If we don’t owe WARN notice, we can continue “right‑sizing” with stealth‑mode efficiency.
“We’re Committed to Supporting You… As You Exit the Organization Voluntarily.”
Voluntary exits = no WARN.
And we love, love Voluntary Resignations.”
Especially the ones we engineered. (wink, wink, cha-ching, heart emoji)
4. Attrition‑By‑Policy™
We don’t lay you off.
We simply:
- Close your site
- Move your job offshore
- Change your job title
- Change your job responsibilities
- Change your job location
- Change your job existence
If you leave because your job evaporated, that’s “voluntary attrition,” not a layoff.
WARN Act avoided.
Mission accomplished.
5. The Magical 89‑Day Window
New York WARN triggers at 90 days.
So if we restructure every 89 days, we’re not “avoiding the law.”
We’re “maximizing operational cadence.”
“We Believe in Transparency… After the Fact.”
Usually when your badge stops working.
6. The “We’re Not Laying You Off, We’re Transforming You” Strategy
We don’t eliminate your job.
We digitally liberate it.
If an AI model replaces you, that’s not a layoff.
That’s innovation.
And innovation is exempt from WARN.
(Spiritually, if not legally.)
“AI Isn’t Taking Your Job. We Are. AI Just Makes It Look Cleaner.”
And cheaper. And faster. And WARN‑free.
NOW REMIND US WHY COMPANIES DO THIS
Because WARN notices are:
- Public
- Reported to the state
- Reported to local officials
- Picked up by the media
- Bad for investor optics
- Bad for recruiting
- Bad for executive bonus season
So instead of issuing a WARN notice, we simply:
- Restructure
- Recalibrate
- Rebalance
- Re‑optimize
- Re‑imagine
- Re‑locate
- Re‑assign
- Re‑categorize
- Re‑classify
- Re‑brand layoffs as “career transitions”
Final Message
We hope this clarifies why you will never receive a WARN notice here:
We don’t do layoffs. We Just Make Staying Impossible.”
RTO policy violations, relocations, reorgs, PIPS, terminations of work from home associates — pick your poison.
We do “strategic workforce evolution.”
We evolve our workforce thoughtfully to meet future challenges.
(Translation: We avoided WARN, but you can’t prove it.)
And if that evolution happens to reduce your employment status to “former,” please know:
It’s not you.
It’s the tax code.
Office hours
AK made clear on feb office hours that 15-70-15 here to stay. Is this means 15% layoff every year in the form of PIP?
Layoff again February 2026
They just did it again last week but a smaller round and called it “cost cutting”. They just can’t help themselves. Post if you know more
2/20 RIF - “Access to this device locked”
Anyone who’s still on through 2/20 (NJ WARN Act) get their computer locked out this morning? We still have two weeks .. but my concession cell device works fine. Slack, email, etc ok on the phone but computer locked down.
Another round of layoffs
Had a 1:1 with my manager and was given a heads-up about another round of layoffs.
Money coming doesn't look very good, so Intel has to do more with less.
My manager doesn't know many details except that it's coming. Too low in the chain to be privileged with more details.
Rollingon Q1 layoffs next week
Q1 employees got there notice there last day is the 10 of February. Severance packages 1 week of pay for every year. Facility is closing and moving to Fort Worth.
Corruption in the Castle
How could the 20 year plus employees survive this round of layoffs…Director and Manager?
Good old boy network is still alive and thriving.
Hardworking, educated, younger employees did not get a fair shake, 20 plus years of corruption…shame on you Director and Manager!
Layoff cont
There’s a chance the next round of layoffs may affect management roles in the coming weeks.

Oracle has to layoff all its Business Strategist team
Oracle has no public sense. Oracle twitter posting says:
The NVIDIA-OpenAI deal has zero impact on our financial relationship with OpenAI. We remain highly confident in OpenAI’s ability to raise funds and meet its commitments.

Do post-mass JE fires get severance?
Do “regular” one off job eliminations get offered severance? Worried superfluous PIPs and bogus fires will start next. Our org says we’re done but it sure doesn’t feel like it
How are they notifying people?
How are they notifying people? Is it an Outlook calendar invite? Who is doing the axing? What do they say during the call or the meeting?
