Are lay offs happening in HDP?

I was in GHQ; let go this morning. Does anyone know how many people total?

It's hard to believe Humana stock has been going down, down.... It used to be $544 three and a half years ago!! You can't say the company is doing great! It used to be a phenomenal company with brilliant and kind people. No more!! This happened in the past three years. Is this still a surprise that HR is letting people go? It's messed up.

In OPTUM we just had two people laid off in our own team. So it is very true

It seems like a smaller one for some reason, but I could be wrong.

Post the tea

Red Storm Entertainment has reportedly undergone significant restructuring, resulting in 105 layoffs. The company is now rumored to have transitioned into a dedicated support studio. This change marks a substantial shift in the development studio's operational focus and workforce. The reported layoffs indicate a major reduction in its staffing levels. This development suggests a redefined role for Red Storm Entertainment within its larger corporate structure.

Anyone from Optum insight product? My position was just eliminated as well as my whole teams.

Alameda Health System faces a nearly $91.7 million budget deficit. This led to a plan for nearly 200 layoffs and program cuts. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted to review the plan. A working group will seek alternatives to the proposed layoffs. Anticipated federal Medicaid funding reductions contribute to the financial concerns.

I'm certainly not defending Citi and I'm well aware that a deluge of layoffs or a 'quick tiuchbase" could happen any time but card layoff activity has been low or nonexistent in March. Anybody seeing something different?

Bay Area school districts face significant budget deficits. Many districts are announcing layoffs and school closures. This occurs despite record state education funding increases. Declining student enrollment is the primary cause of these financial pressures. State funding is based on average daily attendance, reducing district revenue.

Clintwood JOD, LLC issued permanent layoffs earlier this month. The company operates in Eastern Kentucky. Employees received notice on March 9. This followed a temporary furlough from February 24. Unforeseen business circumstances led to the decision.

There was a time when leadership here actually cared about people over profits. I was proud to be part of it. Then things shifted and the cuts started coming, one after another, cold and methodical. The message is clear now. People don't matter. Only the money does.

Layoffs are not a strategy. They are a symptom of failed leadership. Layoffs impact millions of people annually, with approximately 19.2 million U.S. workers being laid off per year. Too often, are wrapped in fancy words like “realignment,” “rightsizing,” or “transformation.” But behind these words are real people, employees whose lives are tragically upended. Layoffs don’t just disrupt careers. They fracture trust, morale, and culture. People lose stability, relationships, and sometimes even hope. The real costs? Depression, anxiety, addiction, broken marriages, financial ruin, etc.
Leadership Accountability is missing. Rarely are leaders held accountable for the decisions that led to these outcomes. What about “Layoff Reform” to include mandatory post-layoff principles that prioritize dignity, transparency, and accountability?
1) Treat impacted employees with respect/dignity. Layoffs are personal…if you are laid off
2) Emotional/Psychological severance, like counseling for anxiety, depression, and trauma.
3) Rebuild morale with remaining employees who are survivors, scared, concerned and watching.
4) Public layoff disclosure: number of employees, age, tenure, gender, race, salary, and ethnicity.
5) No promotions during the layoff year. Employee advancement while others are discarded sends the wrong message.
6) Suspend bonuses, salary increases, incentive pay, and stock awards for senior and executive leadership during the layoff year. Leaders should not be rewarded and profit from failure.
7) Companies that conduct layoffs are disqualified/excluded from any “Best Employer” lists for that year. You can’t be the “greatest” while laying off employees.

Anyone knows what are the plans for Warsaw Hub? I haven’t heard any layoffs so far and I am looking for opportunities over there.

Stock has tanked, 10's of thousands of employees on the street, 10's of thousands working off-short for pennies, agile rolled out with aggressive, mandated goals and no asset cap. What's really going on?

A massive reorg is being planned to reduce business units , and consolidate around AI document management systems. Think Content Server + Aviator.

There is one KY manager that is incredibly toxic. They bully their employees by grill them about their decisions, one ups them, and makes them second guess themselves. If I wanted the college studying and "exam" 1:1 life, I'd go back to college. This person is just plain mean and seems to get their jollies off of making employees flustered during 1:1s. I want to report them but am afraid that I would be found out and fired instead. So as of now, we are all just waiting for the hub strategy to mitigate "the problem". I'm tempted by "fight or flight" response to either "lay into them about their bad behavior on their last day" or conveniently "call in sick". That person is a human piece of trash and the second choice may be my best choice.

In addition, I'm very sorry that you all got laid off. You didn't deserve it and I hope you all get better jobs than your previous ones.

Anyone know of RIFs at VP level in IT?

A new CEOWORLD magazine study surveyed 125,000 full-time U.S. employees. Most employees believe return-to-office mandates are "stealth layoffs." 72% suspect these policies aim to cut headcount without severance. Many workers engage in "coffee badging" or seek new jobs from the office. Strict monitoring correlates with lower trust, especially among Gen Z.

if not get out of the company and sell the stock, your last chance

Is there any truth to this? This is roughly 10% of the workforce. Heard it was AI related (same as other companies are saying - fire thousands of people to invest in AI).
There is now even a freeze for hiring contractors.
Makes me sick working here.

I was laid off in October. I have interviewed with a dozen or so companies over the past 4 months, including a contract position in WF technology for about 15% less than I was making before. Much less when you factor in the loss of benefits.

Last month I ended up with 4 seperate offers (including the WF tech one) in the span of about 2 weeks. Three were with financial institutions and one was with an aerospace company.

Let me tell you how GOOD it felt to call and decline the WF position.

The position I accepted pays 30% more than what I was previously making at WF AND it's full time remote. I've been in the job for almost a month and the culture difference is night and day. This company is excited to have me and I feel valued.

Wells Fargo: Thanks for providing some of leverage needed to negotiate with the better company. You can take the position you so desperately need to fill and shove it. Maybe you shouldnt have laid off the people you clearly still need. There are other companies out there who value my professional experience more than you ever did.

For those of you still drowning in that toxic cesspool: just know there are better places to work. Don't let Wells Fargo devalue your true worth, because it is probably way more than you realize.
