Substitute Dana Walden and Disney for anyone from Comcast's SLT and it's the same BS:

So much pageantry. So much suspense. All for a game of thrones style underwhelming finale.

Four or five months heads up that "we'll be making adjustments throughout fy27 and we don't know who will be impacted" isn't compassion or clarity. Its chemotherapy for terminal cancer.

Just take me out back on a friday and give me the ol' yeller treatment. Or to HR and give me a box to put my stuff in. We dont need to do this elaborate charade.

Somebody mentioned this in another thread, what does that mean exactly? Is it unannounced layoffs? Or something else?

Who are these tools posting about how they aren’t quitting ExxonMobil? Posts made to look like they are leaving until you read to the end of the post. Crazy that so many people are quitting that the boot li---rs feel compelled to make posts like this about how they aren’t leaving because everything is so awesome..

Will people be fired / laid off in October? Didn’t hear of any but heard in August it was happening in September

It is October...

Okay fellow WF’ers. A poorly run dept usually means layoffs are coming soon. So help a friend out by letting us know which depts are run real real bad. Use managers initials only.

Has anyone else been told bank wide layoffs are possible in Q4 as part of Strategic Cost Management?

WSJ says Authentic Brands discussed a bid above $20 a share for $MAT, or about $6 billion. No deal is certain after a CEO change.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but this seems suspect to me and smells of layoffs. Building is 8 years old and needs a power upgrade? Given the business performance and current stock price, makes me wonder…

Looking at my linkedin feed - around 20 people have left Medtronic. I've been long term sick leave. My work phone and laptop is now deactivated - so I don't actually have any access to any news. My sickness was sudden so I didn't get a chance to get or give my personal number for my colleagues

Are things really that bad? I'm due to return in about 8 months because I'm still getting an operation done.

Any news would be great.

Some layoff happening? What where

Employees at The Coalition are experiencing heightened anxiety regarding potential layoffs following recent developments. The studio has been working diligently on the upcoming game, Gears of War: E-Day. Despite nearing completion of this key project, a somber mood has settled over the team. The recent dismissal of the narrative director just weeks before release has further fueled these concerns. This uncertainty contrasts with their previous sense of security on a major Xbox title.

So what’s everyone’s thoughts on a layoff before the holiday? Do you think we’ll have one?

Curious if the rumor is true - notice 10/1, off payroll 10/15.

Hopefully the 4th quarter will be quiet.

Were there any layoffs anywhere on the last day of the 3rd Quarter?

Rumors in KE on multiple floors is that there is a Global TI layoff coming in October. Anyone confirm if they have heard the same?

Heard Today NOC can be affected this October…any info??

Has anyone heard of upcoming layoffs for Q4? Specifically for Ratings Tech

In Colorado. You heard it here first.

Did anyone else get a cryptic message from HR to “targeted employees” about updating your banking information by October 6th? It was sent under the guise of improving payroll processes but the “targeted employees” at the top is concerning. Could they be lining these employees up for October 6th layoffs? Has this happened before? Is this just in EMEA or did employees elsewhere get this too?

🚨 URGENT: Mandatory Work Profile Update 🚨

“Hey team! To ensure seamless communication during upcoming organizational alignments, please double-check that your personal email address and cell phone number are fully up to date in your Workday profile. Nothing to worry about, just routine hygiene! 😊👍”

So... who else is ready for the Great October Bloodbath? 🩸📉

Nothing screams "we value our people right before we lock your SSO accounts at 4:59 PM on a Friday" quite like asking everyone to voluntarily hand over their personal contact info so HR can email your termination paperwork directly to your iPad.

Can't wait to find out if my next manager is going to be an AI spreadsheet or just a cardboard box in the lobby. Who's bringing the champagne for the exit interviews? 🥂✨

Prepare for massive layoffs.
Chief of Staff and McKinsey only means layoffs because that's what McKinsey is famous for

Is this true? How worried should we be?

I don’t think I can survive this round

Any news on lay offs being Friday 10/2?

Any further speculations on when Home and Community can expect any answers? I guess we all feel like we are waiting around until 10/29. It feels like a lifetime’s worth of waiting and not knowing (with certainty at least) how it’s going to be determined.

Heard there are some layoffs happening

Rumor on the street is that Apollo is going to sell off the HED business to get back their money. Looks like another round of firing is coming. Brace for impact everyone!

So heard that the 16th is the shot for next month.. Anyone else hear of this?? I mean last year half of our team around this time got laid off. Better hope I'm in the country to take it!!

Anyone get the golden ticket today? If so group,location? Wish it was me!!

This is meant to track real-time news from the Comcast 2026-Q4 (Oct) & 2027-Q1 (March) layoffs. Please post real events / dates vs. speculation.

This post is only meant to track these events.
Please help others wherever possible. Going through a layoff is an awful experience.
Update your resume & LinkedIn profile, regardless if you are impacted or not.

I got word that there are more layoffs coming. any insights?

Anyone else get a random exit survey email this morning? They say it’s a mistake, but were the people they were sent to random? Should we be concerned? Are they planning to lay us off later?

Rumors are going around, is there any truth in what's being said?

Is there a specific date when we find out if we are being let go or not? This is all a big distraction, and it would be good for people to know if they are safe so they can better focus on their job.
