#layoffrumor

Noticing a lot of random folks saying goodbye today, different parts of the company…. Eeek :/ something’s brewing..

I have pretty solid intel that next layoff is happening Monday March 23rd. People have already started receiving meeting invitations. All the best everyone!

Is it possible to just ask to be laid off? We all know it's coming, is there a way we can just be added to the top of the list? My manager says there isn't a list, I dont believe him
I'd rather enjoy my summer than worry about if I'm next every other week.

Does anyone have the remaining known dates for layoffs this year? I just saw a comment on another post that said 3/19/26 was 1 of 4 remaining, but I’ve only seen 4/30 as the next known date.

So, if 3/19 and 4/30 are 2 of the 4 dates, what are the other 2?

I overheard a director say just listed every employee whom reports to me as possible candidates for the next round of lay offs and I'll tell my managers to give me solid reasons why I should remove each person you want removed.

Is GBD still being targeted or we "in the clear" for now? My anxiety is screaming to jump ship at this point.

Not sure what groups are impacted. But do know that a coworker on the Retail team under Lau send an email to HR requesting a package when the next round hits and he was told Tuesday 3/24 will be the day.

Rumblings about product being impacted but it’s only rumor.

Anyone know anything yet about when and how many?

There has been whispers for the last 18 months of at least one of the Irish sites closing to cut costs. But only one of them is actually owned (Limerick) and Cork still has manufacturing which leaves Dublin on the cutting block perhaps. Anyone else heard similar?

So what's the buzz out there on VCG layoffs?

L1 and L2 hiring freeze while ATS and other organizations assess the impact of AI and determine why we have 40,000 workers more than Verizon. In my opinion, the big one is coming this summer.

What is your manager saying?

They did pilot layoff on Tuesday on OCI support organisation, and that's it.. radio silence... They are rumours by end of March... Does management spread this rumor.. or directors spreading this rumor... The wait is ki-ling... Constant thinking... I may get diabetes or what...

Officially hit rock bottom at morale and motivation here. Wanted to know how muc htime I have before I hit depression.

Will Optum Advisory be impacted by the 04/30 layoff cycle? Seems like we have dodged many cycles with minimal impact as we are most of the time pure profit, except people who are on the bench, so they are typically the ones cut if OA does have impact. Any insight for 04/30 cycle?

It has been discussed by a few here that this could begin this March or early April. Post it here if it does.

Any Optum FL CLINICS to be impactedtomorrow?

Anyone have any updates for 3/19 RIF r/t Optum Health or Appeals?

Any updates?

Good luck to everyone. I'm kinda numb at this point, but I know I'll freak out if I'm laid off.

Anyone laid off in Q1 confirm what it is?

Has anyone else noticed a growing pattern / trend with Dell layoffs where "someone" will "leak" information about a particular group or org's upcoming layoffs, but layoffs are not for months out. Then, the company will do everything in its power to make their lives a living he-l so they quit on their own before their slated layoff time.

I've seen this pattern over and over now. Pretty slimy way to run a business. The forced attrition has gotten out of control.

In previous companies I've worked at, the direct mgr does the layoff but from what I see in OT it's the VP who does the lay off ?

Are direct managers in the loop at all ?

When will invites go out , Friday ?

I'm hearing all Tech will wfh next week, I'm hearing about a 'tsunami of layoffs', I'm hearing of mass debandings, I'm hearing about layoff percentages I don't even want to repeat.

But it's all rumors.

What do you KNOW FOR A FACT?

I am hearing that there will be more layoffs on the 23rd. Some loud mouth that sits near me keeps bragging about how they are supposed to be quite. I guess he feels like one of the cool kids because they are in the loop.

Has anyone heard anything? I’ve been seeing some people leave but don’t know if it’s voluntary or not

Just was wondering if layoffs could start as soon as first quarter is done. Is April shaping up to be the prime month a shakedown could happen?

Until when? I've heard so many different things at this point I can't keep track anymore.

Anyone know whether it is a confirmed News that March End we will have a First rounds of Layoffs?

Is there a US based layoff coming in the next month? Wondering because we have all hands scheduled in the next two weeks so seems like it might be weird to have an all hands during layoffs

Starting to hear of the March round taking shape. Know of 1 in HR. What’s everyone else seeing?

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

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.

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.

Anything new on April layoffs at Western Union? There were so many rumors flying around, and then total silence. Not sure what to make of it.
