Did clinical review therapist positions get laid off?

I'm a middle mgnt and will just inform, if you receive a 30 min calendar booking with you manager during next week, you are gone.

Comcast is implementing significant job reductions across its cable and broadband divisions, impacting over 1,000 employees. This restructuring is part of a broader operational and cost transformation initiative. The company has filed layoff notices in multiple states, with the total number of affected positions potentially exceeding initial disclosures. These cuts coincide with a strategic overhaul and an anticipated charge of over $1 billion.

In another great move by Hertz, they are laying off all of their car salespeople, closing all car sales locations, and are going to have the car rental folks handle the auto sales.
Ridiculous.
After limiting the financing options buyers had, looking down on cash deals, having a series of bad CRMs, failed central-scheduling of customer appointments, and more, they are shutting down a division that made customers happy. Is this a surprise? Not to mention laying off a whole bunch of people just before Thanksgiving. But hey, at least they have Tom Brady and Formula 1. SMDH

Pretty much all the contractors who work for BP have just been told. Will half the number of developers and leaves a pretty small amount of FTE staff.

I hope once all the dust settles this week, someone in board axes Ramon, Athina and all the ineffective C-Suite at top.

It’s about time they taste their own medicine and strategy. The icing would be if it happens right before holidays so they also feel the same pain as 1000s who have been axes due to their mistakes at top.

How wild for a VP of PR to make a post on LinkedIn celebrating construction expansion after the company laid off ALL the construction supervisors, some of the managers & some of the frontline. 100+ impacted, yet celebrating construction expansion. Heartless & ironic. These are the very people who helped make growth like this possible. While expansion is certainly worth celebrating, the timing of this post feels particularly insensitive to the many dedicated employees and families who were recently impacted.

Got the golden ticket today. Thankful to be out of there.

Anyone have any insight as to what is going on with Home & Community? Things feel off in general since layoffs happened the week before last. Multiple meetings have been cancelled. It’s a very stressful and tense environment right now, feels like we’re all at risk as care coordinators.

I got a notification from HR and not my manager due to the Allina/Sutter merger my position is being eliminated within the Epic support model. I was told Allina is breaking the optum contract and my position was no longer needed for the rest of support.

Has any other former Allina person received this notice or heard about the contract break?

Well I tell y’all what. I been let go... sorta. These fers come at me with a lower role after they done moved my meetin TWICE already. Reckon the other 2 they offered it to said peace out bichs lol.

So they look at me all sweet an say “now dont ya wanna take some time an think about it?” I said hoss, I been thinkin bout it for 5 dang years cuz you dun pull this same mess evry fn year. Where do I sign?

They said theyd send me the paperwork. I said naw, y’all take my verbal as my signature, fers. I’m fixin to git on outta here.

An I tore outta that parkin lot like a bat outta he-l. YEEHAW!! See y’all on the beach. F YEAH!!! 🤠🏖️

Got fired today. I'm a team manager. But my manager wouldnt tell me if and who else on my team was also being fired with me.
Each team member one by one is getting meeting invite to be fired. Over a few days. And not at the same time. With a few still left who have no idea if they are just on the end of the list or have been spared this round.
WTF? Seriously you su-k OpenText.

What are the odds?

1. High performers are cut because their salary is higher due to performing (though not true at Oracle)
2. The Peter Principle is on full display, where managers with threatened egos are intimidated by high performers
3. There is a lack of visibility up the chain (which is mainly filled with psychopaths) regarding the actual output of employees
4. Incompetent brown-nosers survive versus those raising valid concerns and producing

The division I work with is filled with VPs, Directors, and Managers who have contributed zero for over a decade and frankly should not be called engineers or leaders. The Dunning-Kruger effect is displayed daily where they expose their own incompetence. Those who are technically apt and care about their teams are gone, be it in leadership or as individual contributors. The incompetent not only survive but fail up—just reading the recent LinkedIn updates on promotions triggered me to write this rant.
I had a manager who cared and protected us from this insanity. That manager was let go, and we are going full speed into a wall trying to deal with ridiculous asks and unreasonable deadlines from the tyrant managers we now report to. When we raised burnout concerns, they were ignored, and we were told to just keep working harder and meet deadlines. In contacting those who left, I know the job market is terrible, but meeting them, they all look healthier and happier. My health is suffering, and my doctor said I need to reduce stress before something dire happens.
End of rant, end of caring about work. I am checking out. Frankly, I don't give a damn about this job anymore. I will start my job search and see how long it takes before they get rid of me. Who knows, maybe doing nothing will get me promoted!

So let’s review recent rifs in our area:

People who were rating 1 or 2 were impacted.
AND
People who were highest earners got impacted

So this tells me you don’t want to be asking for more and more $ (and shooting for 4 and 5 ratings) because that will put you on top of the cut list for being too expensive. And then you don’t want a 1 or 2 rating because that is easy low hanging fruit for them to cut you.

The sweet spot is to be a rating 3, keep your head down, and just do your bare minimum work until the job market improves.

Just my 2 cents

Inside News - In india - majorly South indians employees are going to laid off!!

See this week

It’s happening. Huge cuts in Lake Mary. Mostly band 7. It’s going to be worse than last time from what my SD told me.

Good luck to all.

This add is super creepy and embarrassing. This was so awful to watch. I look the other way to avoid seeing it. Can someone please fire the team that made this ad?

Another US company moving work overseas....

Jamie held a meeting today to inform us that our positions would be affected. With so many Cm's & Pa's what would be the criteria to be the first to be laid off?

Even here we're only getting bare bones. What's going on?

My manager/sr director still did not give clarity on if it’s over or not :/

US Cadence offices had small yearly layoffs at the end of October in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Layoffs may coincide with internal restructuring to align teams and cut salary costs in favor of offshoring to their captive offices outside of the US. Scrutinize overly positive Glassdoor and Indeed reviews for bias.

Came down today. Number affected unknown.

To anyone here that was made redundant (especially those in NI) were there any signs leading up to your redundancy? Less communication from leadership etc. or did it come completely out of the blue? Was a meeting scheduled to tell you the news last minute?

how was the layoffs who got laid off?

There is a significant amount of uncertainty and anxiety surrounding the possibility of layoffs, and employees deserve more transparency about what may be ahead. For many, the concern is no longer simply whether organizational changes are coming, but whether they will be personally impacted and how those decisions are being made. That level of uncertainty inevitably affects morale, productivity, and employees’ ability to feel secure in their roles. You can see it in the posts on this forum.

It is difficult to believe that there is no one outside of the ELT or higher bands who has meaningful insight into what is happening or who is being considered. Even if every detail cannot be shared, there must be individuals with some degree of visibility into the timeframe or departments.

At this point, I need someone to acknowledge the situation and communicate what they can. A lack of information only creates more room for speculation, rumors, and unnecessary anxiety. I’m aware of the odd technique of squeezing people out, but WOW.

Transparency does not necessarily mean having all the answers. It means acknowledging our questions, addressing our concerns, and providing whatever information is available rather than allowing employees to have such high levels of anxiety. People deserve to know where things stand, even when the answers are difficult. This isn’t going to be a “good” 1/1.

Over the next two months, some employees may be offered opportunities to move to other teams, followed by another round of layoffs unrelated to individual performance.

(A) Are we done with cuts
(B) Is it bigger than we all anticipate
(C) Future cutting plans
(D) Current & Future targets
(E) Movements at the top
(F) Reorgs (potential)
(G) What else?

I was laid off in December 2025 so my 50% cellular discount ends next month. I also need new phones. T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 18 Pro Max 256GB for $3 a month when you port over from Verizon. Their top tier plan is $150 for two lines (for us over 65). I'm paying Verizon $100 a month now. When my discount drops to 25% it would be the same rate. I don't begrudge Verizon for laying me off, that's just business, but it will be nice to finally wash my hands of them. I wish Verizon and everyone there the best. But I will smile when I see Elon crush them in a couple of years :)

Heard that IBM is laying off all the VISA holders by June 2027 .

Is Comcast in same path ?

Does anybody know if these cuts in the last two days are just isolated incidents or part of something larger that's coming?

100% confirmed, managers have the list

Are layoffs still this week?

Restarting a thread where we strictly focus on sharing info. Please be kind to your colleagues during this stressful time and let’s stay focused unlike in the other thread.

I can confirm that SVPs were asked to make lists last Monday

These lists were however for vital employees (vs firing targets). The target for vital employees % was a lot less than half (wont be specific in case org dependant)

I personally didn’t get the 10% cut info (but I believe op from other post)

This cut is however not gonna be the “big one”, early 2027 is when we will get hit by another one, this time very substantial

Please share your info. I did my part here! Anyone has the date for the upcoming one?

Pretty sure Antonio did not retire, lol. Any other news? Will they consolidate FL and Bev R&D further?

Iv heard there are 2 or 3 more major waves coming in after New Year. They are cutting all depts. Another 15-20% reduction is what my sup is anticipating. Anyone else hearing this?I know after the split we will see major firings.

I’ve noticed that during some layoff cycles, the women on the teams are laid off but the men get options to stay. I’ve also experienced weird treatment from the men, particularly in sales, and some customers who are women have admitted the same. I’m already had it with the leadership here so I’m looking for new work but has anyone else experienced this as well, or maybe dealt with a “boys club” vibe at CDW? Especially with all of the layoffs going on?

They get a short term (but not insignificant) share price pop after each layoff round. Don't think they haven't noticed.

BOHICA!
