If you get laid off in January, would you be paid any carryover days from prior year? I think I might get laid off in January and have a lot of days left. I don’t want to use them, I rather get the payout next year if possible

I am confused why they have these roles available, did they lay off too many nurses or what? Is this something Sarah didn’t think through, now you are offering 2500-5000 sign on bonus for these roles.

I know of a few sr managers who are still here, in non-hub locations, while others have already either received their notices or been displaced. Portland, OR is one of them. Corporate Risk/FCRM. Is it preferential treatment? Exception made? How can someone Sr be spared while others are already gone?

We at STCB are worried and uncertain about our future. Like many others, we come here simply to look for clues, information, and perspectives about what might happen—not to disturb or upset anyone.

This platform is one of the few places where employees can openly share concerns and discuss uncertainties. If our posts or comments are not relevant to you or you do not like them, please forgive us and simply skip them.

We are all trying to understand what the future may hold during an uncertain time. Please be kind and understanding toward one another.

Has anyone else these past couple of weeks noticed a large surge in cancelled contracts? Many different reasons but also many that are unhappy with the current onboarding process. Are nurses beginning to avoid taking contracts with MedSol?

I’ve heard a handful of people in the different offices were already let go, and the NZ office is gone now. Is this a trickle effect? Wondering how far we have to wait for the other shoe to drop.

I’m incredibly glad I trusted my gut and took screenshots of my personnel file and relevant emails while working from home—before I received my 60-day displacement notice. Working at a non-core site, I knew this day was coming.

After having time to process my layoff, my lawyer believes I preserved potentially crucial evidence that disappears from Workday immediately after you receive the 60-day notice, even though you can still technically access Workday.

You also lose access to Outlook within about an hour of receiving the layoff notification.

Yes, you can print your personnel file in the office, but there is a record of what you print (and will probably raise suspicion). And the company firewall prevents you from emailing files—even your own personnel file—to your personal email address.

I’m NOT suggesting anyone violate policy, access something they shouldn’t, or take confidential company information.

I’m saying this: if you’re still employed and you have legitimate access to your own employment records, understand what you’re allowed to preserve before your access changes.

Because once that window closes, you may not get the same opportunity again.

I’m very glad I listened to my gut.

textbook layoff, saw it coming but not this soon to me
cya L3 thank you for nothing

Exactly what was your severance package. Including country, weeks of pay, stock, health insurance. Anything else….

Who has the info on this?

I've heard horror stories about deductions and unpaid vacation for folks who quit. Anyone deal with that?

Billions in profits but they need more, will likely be significantly cutting regional Op-Co jobs over the next three weeks touting streamlining and AI as the solution. To continue unlimited growth for their shareholders out of their monopoly over customers

Since I haven’t had a raise in 3 years this will be the first time I don’t donate in almost 20 years. Executives can pick up the slack as their compensation increases are significant every year and outpacing what employees are receiving by a large margin.

Uber Technologies will lay off ​about 3,300 employees, or 10% of staff, in its largest cuts since the COVID-19 pandemic, to better navigate the ‌rise of robotaxis encroaching on its ride-hailing business.

I wish I had the real numbers, but it feels there's at least two new ones every week.

God speed

Hearing this morning that several folks are impacted and told to wfh. Credible source but can anyone else verify?

Thank you all for working over the 4th of July holiday!! Your reward...job elimination before the Labor Day weekend! Solventum doesn't have any more class than 3M.

When layoffs were something others had to worry about, but not us? I miss those days.

What’s the latest on the US? We are literally going to drown with all the people already cut.

Nothing says “we’re thriving!” quite like opening LinkedIn to a fresh Talent Acquisition post by senior leadership celebrating how amazing L3Harris is.................…while people are being laid off.

Apparently, the corporate strategy is:

Step 1: Lay people off
Step 2: Post on LinkedIn about how incredible the culture is and how you love your recruiters
Step 3: Have mediocre mid-level leadership congratulate themselves for successfully navigating “challenging times"
Step 4: Repeat until morale is completely fictional

Talent Acquisition, please, keep posting those beautifully polished “We’re hiring!” graphics and hosting hiring events. Nothing reassures the workforce quite like watching the company recruit externally while simultaneously eliminating positions internally.

Managing Director told us that previously discussed date of 10/8 might change because of “leakers”. They may be pushing back to later in month or November, but want to do it before Thanksgiving to avoid 1/1 Readiness impact. As if losing people won’t make 1/1 harder.

Crazy. Is this the Pentagon, where leakers will punished and beatings will continue until morale improves?

Also there seem to be no answers about strategy and goals for end of year, early next year or beyond, except for vague Lead to One support.

My gut tells me Evanko went in without a plan and doesn’t know WTF to do now. We will just tell everyone our products are now shipping through the open Strait of Hormuz. Cigna won the war!!!

Good luck everyone!!

Trying to get rid of everones work cell phone now. how cheap can this company get can't even give a little compensation for making us use our personal phone. I'm actually for it now. when I leave let the clients call me so I can tell them to leave and how horrible everything is.

Anything?

The moment you make more than your coworkers, you're on the radar. Seniority doesn't protect you, it does the opposite, it makes you more expensive and more vulnerable. I've seen it happen to people who dedicated years to this company. They were paid for their experience, and that's exactly what made them a target.

Many of these employees are anticipated to transfer to the acquiring entity, with some already receiving job offers.

The station's transfer is currently undergoing review by the Federal Communications Commission, which includes a public comment period. University officials anticipate the acquisition to be finalized by mid-September, with contract extensions available if FCC approval is delayed.

’m hearing there could be some large layoffs coming in September and October. Has anyone heard anything or have any insight into this?

Each passing day reveals how out of touch and clueless the new CEO has become. I dread having to go a year or so under his leadership before the Board realizes another mistake and fires him while he walks away with $10’s of millions of dollars. Was this hiring some kind of way to steal hundreds of millions orchestrated by the Board. I think everyone was shocked when a guy who ran a printer company was appointed CEO. We’re moving at the speed of a printer company now. I have a lot of retirement money in stock and I hate checking the account because it’s less and less every day.

Big layoffs coming in September for VCF Division, already happening.

RAs are planned for September??
