#layoff

Today I was informed that a restructuring occurred
Your position was impacted or so I heard

To say I was surprised would be a lie
For I saw this coming in my mind's own eye

To be fired now would seem a sin
But I saw it coming. I'll take this on the chin

On day one I was told this will never last
Prepare for the worst, work hard and work fast.

I toiled and worked long hours for sure
Implementing specs, features and more

The days flew by as they do
We all go through this, we all knew

Do not feel sad for this is a new beginning
This is not the ninth, it's only the sixth inning

To the new college grads I have one request
Work hard and stay strong and be at your best

To all I have known throughout these good years.
I say to you now, be happy and of good cheer.

Ciao

Wouldn't it be better to hear 'You're Fired' than go through the make believe process of creating fake reviews and then dropping the ax? Thoughts?

Anything in particular that they do or what we should watch for to let us know they are going to either lay us off or force us to quit?

Today is the last day for many who were impacted back on January 28th. How USAA treated those in office that dark day, just remember, karma is real and not tomorrow or next month or even next year, but everything eventually gets a return.

How does the benefits work after the 60 day WARN period? Do you take COBRA for health insurance or by any chance do you get full benefits until your severance runs off? I.e. Citi contributes to your medical benefits until the end of the severance pay period
Thanks

After May earnings report on 5/7?

I was laid off last month and received severance. I will also apply for unemployment, and I know that unemployment doesn't start to pay until after the severance # weeks passes. Do I have to show that I'm looking for a job during that severance period, or am I able to take a break for a few weeks before starting my job search? I just want to make sure I can still qualify for unemployment in a few months if I don't start looking for a job right away. I'm in Minnesota if that matters.

I got paid on March 13 (my last regular pay day), and again on march 20 (the beginning of severance). It’s been 2 weeks and I didn’t get paid again, I did not take their lump sum.

Anyone having trouble with this or have any answers on this or on who to call?

I heard from realiable source there will be cuts in GNT in April but not sure how many. Anyone know more?

To those who got riffd, Has anyone had issues with Docusign?

I was placed on a PIP does anyone have any good advice on how to get through this successfully.
How many other people were placed on PIP’s in the last few months?
Is this a tactic to eliminate people from the workforce without doing a RIF?

It looks like the program I've been assigned to for the past 6 years is slowly being dismantled - there is no appetite to spend time & resources on risk reduction/mitigation strategies any more.

We're expecting to hear next week if the company is truly stepping away from our effort's goals. If that ends up being the decision, how long does our team have before we:

1. End up on the layoff list with HR
2. Actually get notified our positions have been eliminated?

Anyone else noticing targeting older experienced employees to push them out .?

For those of you have been impacted, how was your final pay received?

I’m salaried and was let go on 3/19 with final date of 4/2. I received a direct deposit on 4/2 in two of my bank accts but not my 3rd acct. I expecting to get paid for 3/22-4/3 period on the next pay date of 4/10 since the last pay date was 3/27.

Have others impacted on 3/19 or previous rounds experienced this? I’m going to guess they just pay out on an off cycle for those laid off?

After more than two decades here, how the he-l am I to take this as "just business?"

Heard sales team took a hit today! Any other teams?

UHC and Optum, tech roles. Zamuda and her croonies plotting cost cutting n offshoring to preserve their 2026 bonus. Someone should ask how much they make, how much they code and do actual work vs "though leadership" and vision BS. I can ask AI to provide me a great vision n though Leadership. We don't need these executives making million when gpt can do it for free. There are so many executive that have no idea how anything works. They have not even used any system but join calls and blabber about things they don't have a clue as about. These ego maniacs feed on power trip. They laid off the my best systems design architect I know last month but kept the useless directors that know and do NOTHING. Now the developers had no clue how the end to end architecture works, just spinning up AI generated garbage code based off of incorrect user stories created by incomplete PMs m business stakeholders.

Another round of layoffs this month......notification day is the 16th, and hearing of another round in June.

I read when FB was in charge he changed the severance package from 2 week to one week per service year. Is that still the case under ML with the recent layoffs? If it went back to 2 weeks, still capped at 26 weeks?

Any more layoffs this year?
Which teams will be impacted?

whyh why why

August 31st.

FIS either realized their mistake in record time, or need additional time to line up a buyer.

T will term you for something and hide it under “performance” when they have no other reason to fire you. Also, people are being fired due to inaccurate office presence reports. Get yourself a lawyer. You may have a case.

We are a team of 7 and 6 of us received an meeting invitation from HR individually for tomorrow morning. My manager is very confused about it too and colleagues at office strongly thinks it has to do with the lay offs. Its better to get severance and leave this place at this point. I'll update tomorrow about the outcome but it's 99% we are being eliminated.

Clintwood JOD LLC faces a lawsuit from former employees. About 300 workers were laid off without adequate notice. The suit alleges violations of the WARN Act. This act requires 60 days' notice for mass layoffs. The company recently entered bankruptcy proceedings.

March 31 - April 10th is not some states required 60 days. Even if you count garden leave you would have to be for more than 3+ years to be over 60 days in weeks?

I was asked to leave last year piped out before retirement eligibility. So I got my retirement payout information from alight. You are eligible to get retirement after 50 years of age. I was told I had to wait 90 days to get my lump sum payout. I was given the deadline of Feb 26th to submit my notarized paperwork. I sent it off on Feb 3rd and waited for a check. The check was supposed to come in March. I waited for two weeks into march and nothing. I called alight and they said it was late by one day and expired. They said they would send another packet to me. When I got the packet the lump sum was not available. I called alight again and they said I canceled the retirement in December of 2025 on the website. Alight said they sent an email to my exxonmobil.com email. I told them I never received the email because I did not have access to my work email. I am now fighting them to get my lump sum payout because I want to be done with this horrible company. I did not cancel my retirement and don't know if they are just sc--wing me around so they can save money by paying me over 20 years. If they don't allow my lump sum I will sue them as the amount is several hundred thousand dollars.

I was told that USAA is using health insurance utilization (cost they spend on each employee as self-funded plan) as the filter for layoff/terminations where performance was not a concern. Looking for anyone in HR or higher up who can confirm this is whats happening. For ancedotal does anyone recall if the people laid off were overly sick or known to be using their healthcare alot? Could be a major ERISA 510 violation if we can crowdsource some proof.

May the Odds be in your favor!

Was told that the next wave of layoff announcements will be hitting in the next 2-4 weeks. You will be told either you are being laid off in 45 days, being laid off in September, or possibly being offered a job.

Anyone know the timeline for Allina layoffs?

Harassment from coworkers, complained to HR 2 months ago, no investigation, fired me last month along with 45 other IT people. Is it a retaliation? Probably not.
