#layoff

Post any high level details of what you are seeing this morning (or if you were impacted).

Any one sued Oracle for H1B retaining and Laying off US worker ? What are the steps to be followed and documents required ?

Please post here throughout the week if you hear anything about the potential 3/19 RIF, information is power....

Why hasn't the media said anything about the never ending layoffs? Why hasn't anyone spoken to the media?

Does a HR goon inform you, in-person or through email or zoom? If I get a layoff notice. I'm going to stop logging on to my laptop and waste my time reading or responding to emails.

:(

At this point I've heard fifty different versions about what's coming.

A lot of rumors have been flying around the office lately, though nothing sounds substantiated. I just can't figure out why layoffs talk suddenly picked up. If anyone knows anything, please share.

Things were kept under wraps for a while but now your Band 5 leader now knows what’s going down…they have to choose who is going to be riffed…who will sink or swim. Don’t trust a single thing they say…

That’s the rumor swirling. Allegedly Wednesday. Does anyone know who exactly will be affected? I remember an article from February saying that 15% of the staff will be cut in the spring so I’m guessing that’s now.

Last year during March 19th they had layoffs of corporate employees, tech was hit the hardest. That was due to a series of decisions they made during a leadership offsite. Similar pattern this year (late Feb) they had a leadership offsite. From what I had exposure to they are finalizing headcount and growth, but also eliminating anything that isn't a priority for 2026/2027 (even if it's needed to manage Wayfair ops and technology). This all depends on how well your L6/L7 told your STO story.

Something is coming but I not sure about the scale or when. This could be a series of small restructures or a wider riff. I suspect March 16 to 30th we'll hear something. Please share anything you know to support your peers.

US employee who was lays off. Challenging severance offer in courts. Anyone been successful?

So I was officially RIF ( in EMEA) about 2 weeks ago.
My direct manager; who I used to speak to maybe Three times a week has not even called or messaged. I did speak to him the day before I was RIF, he talked about plans and work related travel 3 months out.. wtf…

Has there been any layoffs or anything coming in independent testing and validation outside of getting rid of the people in California for location strategy ?

Anyone heard anything about layoffs within the US UW division?

Been seeing a lot of comments on earlier posts about rumors of layoffs. Was wondering if there is a similar pattern between now and the last significant layoff in 2023? Just want to be prepared and not caught off guard. Thanks! (Apparently PNC didn’t file warn notice for that round)

Is anyone able to clarify what to expect on the 26th. Is this just Europe, Middle East, Asia (EMEA) or is this also in the states? Is it an offer of a VSP or a RIF? The posts have been vague.

Someone I know is an ebilling employee at hertz In ireland and has informed me that they are being laid off as part of a group of 78 people. What's left of this department is left to train workers in India who be training bots to do the ebilling instead.

3 SRO's are gone from the Pacific Northwest as of this morning. I am sure that there are more RIF's happening today.

Help me understand how 1 team lays off one employee and then pulls another employee from a different team to fill a position on the team they just laid someone off on? Couldn't they have transferred the employee they just laid off?

Layoffs are happening some senior employees walked out today

Does anyone have any details on how many jobs will be lost, when and which roles will go first because of kroger capability centre?

Give details. Optum is complex so we need more details than just "layoff 03/19"
Which departments? Which lines of business? Clinical or nonclincial? Operations, legal, HR, clinics?

Our work in federal has decreased so significantly we are getting extremely nervous.. has anyone heard anything about possible layoffs over here?

With thousands waking up to a layoff invite, remember that Optum has enough money to be the main sponsor for THE PLAYERS golf tournament starting this morning

The layoffs have begun. Florida regions layoffs has begun and will be announced 3/19/2026 . Last day of work will be 4/2/2026

Next round coming in April? Why the job postings in the states?

2025 was entertaining, get the popcorn out for 2026. It should be a doozy.
