My manager was canned this week. Told that the position has been relabeled as Waterloo. They weren't given the option of relocating, this was the first they heard about this on the HR call. She tried to ask questions and kept getting the same response that the company wants this position to be located out of Waterloo.
This tells me that there's an effort underway to identify where positions need to be located and we're going to see WFRs around location requirements on top of other WFRs.
Really hoping this all turns out to be a big nothingburger.
Who makes the decision? Who provides inputs?
Haven’t heard of any layoff as of yesterday p.m. Does anyone have numbers or locations?
Since signing the "Agreement and Release" is required to receive severance, you may also qualify for unemployment benefits. I applied expecting unemployment payments to begin after my severance ended, but I have been receiving both simultaneously. While I live in a state that offers relatively high benefits and a longer collection period, I would encourage you to apply regardless of where you live.
Anyone laid off can at least take some solace from the knowledge that their departure directly helped to fund A Beautiful Ballroom in D.C. So in a way it was worth it, right?

As expected didn’t take ML long to kick him out
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority failed to provide veterans with the mandated 60-day notice before recent layoffs. This oversight contradicts the authority's established veterans preference policy. A spokesperson for the JTA confirmed this procedural lapse. The implications of this policy violation are currently under review. This situation raises questions about the JTA's adherence to its own internal guidelines.

Strategic Data Analyst here 14 years with the company gone. I know Orlando got hit too recently. Good luck everyone it's already begun.
Before Thanksgiving
Does anyone know what happens if someone is on leave and is affected by a RIF? Like if they are on FMLA or maternity/paternity leave? I know they wait until you return to tell you, but does your 60 days of garden leave start then? Or is it already ticking and you just get the x weeks of severance? I know the garden leave is done so they can walk you out the door but also satisfy the WARN act.
i just heard through the grapevine, like 100 employees may be affected
Layoffs are on the table.
No warm holidays this year
Anyone know what the package entails/has entailed in the past?
If we heard nothing about layoffs so far today, I doubt we'll hear anything for the rest of the day. Another false alarm, I think.
Heard from a HR friend that internal email with headcount reductions is the 26th with the official notices going out 29th. We are stilling getting our bonuses maybe as a way to soften the severance?
I’m with the clinic side of things (I work for Kelsey Seybold which was acquired about 3 years back by Optum). Luckily they didn’t do layoffs for clinic side employees like some other teams have been handed, but they still have reduced our head count. I finally got tired of all the games managers play so I decided to voluntarily leave. I have never been happier. If you have a good enough emergency fund or side hustle, I highly recommend it for your mental health.
Some insight into how sleazy and embarrassing this company is for.
We have doctors that have literally told me they MUST order certain tests when a patient says certain key words. I have had the same physicians say they order tests and know they are a waste of time. They have also made comments that Optum is planning to dump the clinic model once they get their investment back and assumed return.
I don’t say these things to badmouth or spread fear. I say this because it’s true. This company could not care less about patient care. Or quality. Or even doing the right thing. Every email from Hemsley is a lie. The guy is a walking contradiction.
I feel for the ones that stay because they have to. Just know that there may be better options out there. This company is not worth your sense of self respect.
H&P has slowly and quitely been transitioning jobs to the SUPREMELY underqualified india staff and it does not sound like they plan to stop anytime soon. My friend in finance was just told that her job was moving to India even after they explicitly said her job was not moving to India a few weeks ago.
If you're in Tulsa and your job requires a computer, believe me, they are already planning on replacing you with 5 indian workers getting paid a fraction of your salary.
I’ve heard there’s going to be a layoff next Thursday 10/22 from a few sources. Is that what everyone else is hearing?
Curious if any layoffs have started happening yet? Praying for whatever is next for everyone, those who are impacted with a layoff and those who have to stay and clean up the mess left behind.
Is my list complete?
Miami-Dade school officials are preparing for potential layoffs as a charter school network prepares to co-locate within five district high schools. The school board approved an agreement that allows the district to preemptively lay off up to 133 employees. This measure is estimated to cost the district up to $7.9 million for the upcoming school year. The co-location is mandated by Florida's expanded "Schools of Hope" law. Success Academy, the charter operator, claims the agreement will have no financial impact on the district.

Was told told that low level/grade people would be the first people to go in the layoffs
Seems like Strategy & Operations teams have defined a list of employees that are absolutely essential for that function. Anyone else got.more information on this.
See you all next time.
New layoffs coming soon.
Fox Television Stations has initiated a significant round of layoffs impacting various departments. The company cited ongoing economic challenges and a need to streamline operations as reasons for the cuts. This move is expected to affect a substantial portion of its workforce across its owned and operated stations. Employees in news, sales, and administrative roles are among those impacted by the decision. The company has not yet provided specific details on the total number of employees affected.

There are already talks about cutting positions. You might want to cut back on spending money because you could easily be one of the casualties if you do not have an upper-management position.
Do we know how many were laid off so far and how many more are left to be laid off?
Winnebago Industries is implementing further layoffs at its specialty vehicles operation. This latest round will impact 51 employees in November. The company has already closed two plants and reduced its workforce by over 300 individuals since 2025. These cuts are part of an ongoing restructuring effort. The announcement was made on Iowa's WARN website.

Mayor George Hurst has put forth a 2027-28 budget for Lynnwood that includes fourteen staff layoffs. These reductions span several city departments, including development, finance, IT, and parks. The proposed budget aims to balance revenues and expenditures, addressing a significant general fund deficit. Additional revenue is anticipated from potential property tax increases and expanded traffic camera enforcement. The City Council is scheduled to vote on the final budget in November.

Anyone who still does not have an exit strategy, or who isn't actively working on a career/skill/job change, is just begging to get their butt booted to the sidewalk without severance!
The bad news continues to roll in wrt Oracle's finances and evidence is building that we are headed for bankruptcy. Praying for a miracle, waiting to take control of your life, hoping that Larry's AI bet will somehow not effect you, avoiding the issue altogether, procrastination for whatever reason - these are all signs that you are headed for the worst case scenario.
Quit playing ostrich and make constructive use of your spare time to GTFO before Oracle's financial reckoning takes you by surprise.
Hi guys, I've heard a rumour that in November we will have another round of letting people go in NCRA. Does anyone know anything more?
Here’s a thought … instead of laying off the supposed backbone of our company (frontline), why don’t they trim the massive fat across the hundreds of “Communications” people at PEP? Or marketing … because clearly that’s not working? Or those lobbyists in DC? I’m sure they’re all making 100K+ and probably work from home half the dang time!
I was laid off today with a 1 on 1 meeting on my calendar
Long story short I accepted the vsp and got a match 2027 date. Then reorg assigned me to a new team and my manager was genuinely excited to train me on new tools and start creating reports. I created the reports, and extras because I'm not given enough work. I was told there would be an "all hands on deck" project this week but it Wednesday and I haven't got anything. I even said I wanted to withdrawal my VSP if possible and was told yeah that's probably fine, I'll submit it. Then it was I'll submit it next week, then he said to wait until December due to your march 27 date. I'm pretty sure it's a delay tactic and they've already decided to move on without me. Anyone else experience something similar with advice (other than update my resume and apply like my life depends on it)?
If you were laid off at any time did you have a lawyer write a demand letter asking for additional compensation? I am curious how this went? Thanks!
Quite a few people here today in Clifton we’re laid off. Rumor has it tomorrow will be management.
