#layoffs

Any specialists on this board tonight? What are you expecting from the upcoming layoffs? How hard do you think specialists will be hit?

You heard it hear first.

GOA + S&TB will give 2200 jobs over to ENGINE next year, as more and more ENGINE people are onboarded. There will be layoffs.

When are they going to be read out to employees? Will they have any impact for the next round or layoffs in November? Hopeful.

Heard there will be layoffs, starting with 2nd shift at the beginning of the year.

The chaos was understandable directly after the spinoff but what’s the excuse now? Processes change constantly, they’re inconsistent and inefficient. God forbid you bring it up to management, they just gaslight you into everything being your fault. There’s no curiosity to understand the issue much less resolve it. Customers are leaving our platform due to frustrating support experiences. Partners are frustrated working with us because of our ridiculous quoting process. Every tiny ask is met with resistance. Not to mention, I haven’t had any cost of living increases, no merit increases, nothing. They routinely reduce our 401k match.

Omnissa is lucky the job market is awful right now otherwise half this company would be gone.

We are officially in the doom spiral!

Welcome to North Korea, aka, Goosehead Insurance. 1min late? Written up. Leave right at 5? Threatened with a write up. They just had a major layoff on the tech side. Some new cto came in and one side lied about the other so bad to the new cto it got all of them laid off (80 people) and now they haven't done any work in two months because they dont know what they are doing. 100 million dollar public company has its tech and software development side ran by 20 year olds now. Its really really bad now. Service side we are getting it too. Unreasonable changes to us to. Oh and no meeting Wednesdays? I guess they only ment that for the c suite people on the 5th floor. Cause they just call them huddles on Wednesday lmao Place is a joke I heard tech side app called da or something only does like 3 binds a week and they are scrambling to sell more

Seems Kearl is already divested and they will announce in 2028. Just like what happened with syncrude.

What will happen with people moving to Edmonton? Are we going to see worse situation?

Another tremendous layoffs

The decision to name Karen Deutsch CMO of UHC definitely affirms the organization doesn't value Employee Experience feedback at all. To call her a bully would be kind to bullies. That aside the moves she will be making are not great. For starters, she needs to reduce costs by 25%+. Some of that will come from closing or not posting open roles. Some of that will come from "accelerating the use of AI". Some of that will come from collapsing teams and functions and reducing redundancies. Some of it will come from reducing marketing spend. The next 8 weeks are going to be messy for all of you. And for those in marketing roles not in UHC, good luck. The versions of plans she has are far reaching and speak to her ego and ambition. Normally you might entertain changing roles and moving to Optum. While Optum doesn't have a Karen problem they do have their own large cost targets and will not be in a position to open or add roles.

There are going to be layoffs. Significant layoffs. How significant? Some teams have been given 70% targets. Every single team has a target. UHC Commercial is 30%. Just an example. Where did the target come from, and why do these targets exist? Because UnitedHealthcare are facing a $6B+ gap due to a weakened Commercial pipeline, Medicare reimbursement rates, and falling short in Medicare Stars bonuses. There are other reasons. But those are the primary ones. But how will the work get done you ask? Every team must figure out how to use AI to displace employees and how to use Optum Global to displace US-based employees. Teams are encouraged (some are mandated) to take these actions now and before 2027 so that the full "savings" can be captured. The funny part in all of this of course is that the guy who messed up Medicare was somehow promoted CEO, and the guy who hasn't made Medicare better was promoted to President. Make that make sense.

Apparently the company that runs Sidekicks Pub at the Bellevue office lost its contract with T-Mobile and announced a layoff, beginning 12/20.

I wonder if T-Mobile is closing Sidekicks permanently or just changing vendors...

For those who were let go in one of the last rounds, how long did it take you to find a new job? Are any of you hitting a wall?

People talk about unstable employment at Comcast as if the company only recently started treating workers this way. The shift away from long term careers started a long time ago, and we’re talking decades here. What we're seeing now didn't come out of nowhere. It's been building for a long time. It’s only getting more prominent so more people are noticing it.

Is it their goal to undermine the company? For what purpose? I honestly don’t get how this could be good for us.

I find it interesting the level of underestimating the overall workforce.

• We are vastly not as stupid as they think we are - we are capable of meeting a metric, appearing to be compliant while doing the bare minimum. We have no interest in helping them make money - keep members - why should we - they don't care about us - why should we care.
• I have been doing the bare minimum - equal to the merit I am anticipating - all I care about is getting a met standards eval - I have no questions, no ideas, no interest and can parrot what you want to hear to get you to leave me alone
• I don't need your health insurance - I am on my spouse plan - a blue plan out of another state who leaves us alone, no cold calls, no forced case management for using my coverage, responsive when we call with a question and get fast resolution. Not like this chit hole.
• I am tick tock ticking to be able to retire - maybe you should look at your workforce and check the average age - I am part of large group
• I have no goals, I am Mastered prepared so don't ask me about my education goals - I don't need a PHD
• I have the ability to fake interest and sound "good" on a moments notice.
• Many others that are not going to retire are actively looking and will quit at a moments notice -

You get the workforce you deserve - treat us like cr-p and we will act accordingly - and the reputation of this place is total trash.

Am I reading this LinkedIn post correctly? Where did they find so many open offshore positions within 6 months, with so many layoffs here in the States?

Welp, good luck, ya'll.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is implementing additional rounds of layoffs despite having already dismissed over 1800 developers. These upcoming workforce reductions are scheduled for later this month, followed by two more in November and January. The company aims to streamline its operations and achieve profitability targets by FY27. This restructuring risks the loss of significant institutional knowledge within the gaming division. Despite criticism, positive sentiment towards the Xbox brand has reportedly increased under Sharma's leadership.

The shareholder lawsuit in U.S. District Court in New York City dates to July 2025. Besides Fiserv, the lawsuit names as defendants former CEOs Frank Bisignano and Mike Lyons, along with Bob Hau, the former chief financial officer, and John Gibbons, the former head of Fiserv's financial institutions group.

Bisignano left Fiserv before the lawsuit landed, in May 2025, when he was confirmed by the Senate to lead the Social Security Administration after being nominated to the post by President Donald Trump in late 2024.

A few months after Bisignano's exit in October last year, Lyons overhauled the company's management team and pursued what he called "a critical and necessary reset" for the payments processor. But then this year, Lyons also resigned, in June, to lead Truist Financial.

About 90% of the individual defendants' income was tied to meeting specific targets, according to the plaintiffs. Bisignano made about $700 million in July 2025 from "illicit stock sales at inflated prices," according to the plaintiffs' filing on Tuesday.

Can anyone confirm firsthand whether layoffs have officially begun? Whether you've been laid off yourself, know a peer who has been laid off, or can confirm a leader has been impacted, I'm looking for verified information rather than rumors or hearsay. I've heard that layoffs officially started today and would appreciate confirmation from anyone with direct knowledge.

For anyone who has been impacted, I wish you and your family strength and support as you navigate this transition.
