Congress Debates AI Regulation Amid Job Loss Concerns

A recent report connects artificial intelligence to widespread job losses. It indicates nearly 200,000 layoffs have occurred since 2023. Many Americans feel uncertain about AI's rapid development. Younger workers are especially concerned about their future jobs. Lawmakers remain divided on regulating AI versus promoting innovation.

I'm almost hoping for it

I've been thinking lately about how I feel about the possibility of layoffs, and I realized something that surprised me. I'm not scared anymore. In fact, part of me is actually kind of hoping it happens. I genuinely like what I do, but Honeywell has gone out of its way to make everything harder, more complicated, and less satisfying. If getting laid off is what it takes to get out of here, I think I'd actually feel relieved. What does that say about a place that some of its employees feel that way?


More T-Mobile stores closing (with layoffs)?

This posting was on reddit on July 2 in the r/tmobile channel

"My DM gathered all of us for a meeting today at 4 PM and gave us 60 day notice, apparently many stores are getting notice today as well and by next month many more stores are going to get notice, if you are not in a top 100 or experience you are unfortunately next on the chopping block, good luck to all of you in future endeavors."


Political and Toxic

Came to CDW from elite enterprise tech sales (Oracle, Gartner, Dell, AT&T) thinking the partner side would be a great pivot. It is easily the worst, most disorganized company I’ve ever seen. Complete political mess, overworked staff, underpaid talent, and zero actual care for the client.

They wanted my C-level global accounts, but every time I opened a door, CDW failed to execute. I was constantly apologizing to clients, trying to force a transactional CDW box-checker brand into spaces handled by Accenture, Deloitte, and Wipro. The capability just isn't there.

Also, I started seeing some of our greatest talent walk out the door. One office had 7 Client Executives walk out the door in one day!

They ended up cutting me and keeping an inside AM who was just promoted to CE. Good luck maintaining an executive position in these accounts! (Been with CDW for 10 years as an inside AM)

My manager was new to corporate accounts and you could hear him turning the pages to his “How to be a CDW Manager binder”… LOL He wanted to surround himself with reps that don’t intimidate him.

Getting released from this place is the first time I’ve been able to breathe in months. The relief is real. If you have a solid enterprise background, don't waste your time or risk your reputation here.


Laid off from nike a few months ago. the layoff wasn’t even the part that hurt

I actually believed the “nike family” thing. treated coworkers like friend not just people i clocked in with..that’s on me for being naive i guess but the people who still have jobs there? spineless. i sat next to these people for years covered for them more times than i can count. the second i got laid off i became invisible. No “hey that su-ks.” just silence, one text is all it would have taken

During my last few weeks all anyone wanted was KT. drain everything useful out of me then go quiet the moment h i’m not needed anymore. Tried reaching out for referrals after people i’d helped before. suddenly everyone’s “already used up their referrals.” people still there just saw my messages on linkedin and said nothing not even a polite no

Funny how the ones who actually had a soul already left that company on their own. the ones still sitting in those seats are just the ones who don’t mind stepping over people to stay comfortable

Again not mad about the layoff i’m done pretending the people who stayed behind are good people. they’re not. they just haven’t been laid off yet..


Montefiore Nurses Union Alleges AI Job Replacement

The New York State Nurses Association alleges Montefiore Health System plans to replace nurses with AI. The union claims 12 utilization review nurses are slated for layoff. These nurses use their clinical judgment to review insurance denials. Montefiore denies the union's claims as inaccurate and misleading. Concerns include compromised patient care and potential data privacy issues.

Unemployment Fear Shifts to Wealthier Americans

Unemployment fears are now concentrated among educated, higher-income Americans. This marks a significant shift from historical patterns. The New York Fed's Survey of Consumer Expectations tracks this trend. Their anxiety currently outpaces actual white-collar layoff rates. Automation and post-pandemic hiring corrections contribute to this growing concern.

PDM?

Anyone have any suspicions as to how Provider Data Management teams across the company will be affected? My team (Wellcare Medicare of Connecticut) was already cut significantly once in 2024 because we exited the Vermont market then, and this year we were combined with Maine under one manager.
Without us and what we do, providers can't get enrolled, credentialed and paid, and members don't know who they can even go to see, so I'd say we serve a very critical function. But I know that means little to nothing at the end of the day in all of this. My manager has already said that if she has any say in the cuts at all that me and one other person are definitely not going, but obviously no guarantees that she will have any authority there. 🤷🏻‍♂️


In case you haven’t figured it out yet

Humana, in case you haven’t figured it out yet, we do not like you.

If you would simply recognize those very bad middle level leaders in Associate Director and Director roles that pushed out some of us extremely good employees and fire those bad leaders, then maybe we would stop filing lawsuits against you, and stop bad mouthing you to the press and general public.

Get rid of those je-ks, those bad leaders, and we will relent. Make sure somehow it gets back to is when it is done. Thank you.


Restructuring has already started

Many new positions over the last few months have came up doing the same exact jobs that are already in place. QMCA’s were implemented that replicate member advocates, case managers, and patient care advocates.. they are doing the same work leaving older employees with a smaller almost nonexistent caseload. These positions were implemented earlier this year and the last hiring wave ended in June. I feel like the new hires are safe. They are keeping the new positions and getting rid of the old.


Failed Executive VPs Still Get Rewarded?

Employees get laid off, while failed Executive VPs walk away with generous severance.
According to Qorvo's Executive Severance Plan, eligible Executive VPs may receive: • 12 months of base salary • Target bonus • Pro-rated annual bonus • 12 months of COBRA • Continued equity vesting for one year
Meanwhile, many employees receive much less after years of hard work.
If the company is struggling and layoffs are necessary, shouldn't the executives responsible for the business results be held to the same standard as everyone else?


Just the facts

I'm not getting all those discussions whether it's now over, the wfrs. You don't listen or what?

We are only two thirds through the costs savings program. One third is still ahead of us. Source: CFO, Q3 investors call.

Do you think one third can be achieved by forcing us to bring our own toilet paper to work?

Profit growth of 10 percent is only attributable to the wfrs. Source: same. Yes, that's the way to huge profits! What else?

P/E ratio is between one third and one half of industry peers. OT is profitable. Normally investors must be queuing up. And still no one wants to buy? Haha, "our investors are patient, they give us time" (source: was that Ayman in the last show?)

Our most important asset is people. Important is attracting good talent and keeping good talent. Source: all hands town calls, those clowns with E- and C- titles. Who of course kick the best people out. Do you really believe them? See a doctor.

Trust no one but yourself. If you do not have financial buffer, start building it now. Start looking for alternatives. Many postings here can be made by those who want you go by yourself, to save on severance. You do not have to, but just make sure you are prepared.


PIP first or surplus first?

Anyone else feel like management has been trying to build a case against them after a reorg?

My org has gotten really toxic. I’ve been hearing PIP talk, but I honestly don’t think they have enough to put me on one yet. My past mid-year and year-end reviews have been strong, my attendance has been good except for a few system issues, and I know my job well. It just feels like leadership decided they don’t want me around anymore.

If you’re in this situation, is it more likely they’ll eventually fire you for performance, or would you end up getting surplused first? Or maybe a PIP is a way to set the ground for a surplus (as a way to tell HR “Look, he is on a PIP because he doesn’t work very well, so he is our chosen duck to target for the layoff).
Curious if anyone has gone through something similar. Is it possible to fight it?

AI Impacts Healthcare Support Jobs at Kaiser, Oracle

Artificial intelligence improvements are causing widespread layoffs in the technology industry. Kaiser Permanente and Revere Health are among the first healthcare systems to see AI-driven workforce changes. These initial layoffs primarily affect non-clinical roles such as coding, billing, and scheduling. Clinical jobs are not expected to be permanently replaced by AI soon. However, temporary provider layoffs and increased work expectations are anticipated during this AI trend.
