#layoffs

I was completely blindsided. There was never any indication I'd be considered for layoffs. High performer, never had an issue. Over eight years of a great record. For future reference - nobody, and I mean nobody, is ever safe.

It wouldn't be a shocker, though. I just want to know if there's an actual strategy guiding all of this, or if they're still just fumbling in the dark. Either way, I hope they release me from my misery this time around.

It gets harder every day. They’re milking our fear of losing our jobs for all it's worth. Since the last round of layoffs, the workload has far surpassed what’s left of our capacity. I watch people work themselves into the ground every day, even after we all just witnessed that none of it matters when your number is up.

R&D jobs being cut in the Athlone campus.

I’m really regretting my decision not to take the voluntary early retirement because I feel like the inevitable is going to come anyway. I put my heart and soul into this company for over 20 years, and it feels like a punch in the gut that we are so disposable. I hope someone speaks up during tomorrow’s open mic meeting to ask the question that is on everyone’s mind. How do the corporate executives feel good about taking multimillion dollar bonuses and raises every year while the real workers that helped to make Cigna the corporate giant that it is today suffer. They should be ashamed. I have to wonder what would happen if everyone remaining banded together and refused to report to work for just one week, it would cripple them. They are too arrogant and greedy to see that we are the ones that make this company work.

I would expect major layoffs before the new dude starts in April

He won't want to be the bad cop straight away so it will be done before then

Why is everyone not posting what area/department they are in? Why would you owe this company any discretion whatsoever? They don’t/have never cared for their employees. I can’t speak for everyone but at my location Every year it’s something new to stress about.. lay offs, VTO, forced retirement, new laws passing or not passing, no overtime for months at a time, can’t use your PTO for months at a time. They never let us get caught up when we are behind. They will use overtime one week then the next be using VTO and sending people home. They’re laying 2,000 of us off but still actively having job interviews and hiring people? I’d say it’s not a loss at all to be laid off from this place. I’d wait, get laid off, take my severance, then get a better job. If they had any brains at all they would get rid of all their people in charge that are making millions bc they clearly don’t know what the he-l they’re doing. My thoughts go out to all those already laid off and future people. I say get out and day as much info to us as possible. You don’t owe this place anything.

The notice stated that permanent layoffs are scheduled to take effect on Friday, March 27, and Tuesday, April 28, at the company’s facilities on Firestone Lane in Kings Mountain and South Dalton Street in Gastonia.

It’s not that they're always wrong. It's that I've become so exhausted by the constant stress, uncertainty, and pressure that I've gone numb. If my job is gone, I'll just deal with it somehow - bad job market, rising costs and all. I just can't deal with this cr-p anymore.

MercyOne Medical Center in Des Moines will lay off 67 workers, effective March 17.
That’s according to a new listing on Iowa WARN.

Anyone else hearing rumors of layoffs / RTO Phase 2 for next week ahead of all hands mtg on Wednesday?

Judging by reports, even more remote workers were let go today. I'm so sorry for what we're going through, and especially for those already impacted.

I was a former employee of 35 years at Pearson Vue. I too was let go on the 12th. I gave all my loyal and dedication to this company for a lot of time. I was mortified when I found out that my job had been eliminated due to it being outsourced to India. This will fail as everything else will fail because everybody is just a $to them. This is not the company that I show loyalty to for all the years so I’m OK with leaving as I did knowing that I put my best effort forward. They let a lot of good people that dedicated all their time to helping Pearson be what it is today. So sad. They were so sneaky about how they did the layoffs. Some people still don’t know the total number of employees who were let go. Most of the people who I am aware of were here 15 plus years.

Were any of your teams impacted recently by RIFs or layoffs? Please share the dept/area that was affected & how many reductions.

Can confirm the Detroit plant received shut down notice. Any other plants?

Paid millions for a movie and then lays off thousands of employees.

One of the NY amityville locations has been told

Employees have been told April 9th is there last day.
Harris lawyers are mo--ns they forgot to tell the customer

Our permission Mr k lawyers said we are smarter than the government.
The group was sold and closed 3rd week of December.

Amazon pays $75million for the "melania trump" movie. Then laysoff 16,00 of its employees. Is wfm next with the layoffs to recover from losing this money?

The irony - People who were responsible to lose the contract are rewarded with continuing employment and perhaps bonus while all people not even remotely connected are fired.

CEO and their cronies - "I take full responsibility and willing to sacrifice 2500 wonderful and talented colleagues for my stupid mistakes"

I reviewed some quarterly meetings with the ELT and one important question was asked to the CEO.

You have mentioned we have the people to win and emphasize we are a people-first culture.
So, why is cutting people first a yearly action plan for long-term growth and profitability?
After five years of people first cuts, might it be time to rethink this strategy. How about people-second?

Does anyone know if this person was made an example of?

Pretty much every team experienced JEs. Lost a lot of tenured, experienced people. Doesn't even feel that great to still be here with things looking so grim. Still no official announcements from leadership - just word of mouth.

After 14 years as a TSR my team is being let go……

I have been told the inside Chanel reps are being let go and we in direct will now get full control on what partners get to do business with Dell.

One Dell way

Layoffs have started at LnW. Should be minimal at this point.

Just got off call about LR's. We each got a list of people affected in our respective teams, pretty much informed that we have to break the ice with each person affected. So yes, February layoffs are unfortunately confirmed.

I’m seeing a lot of people from EviCore comment about having their roles eliminated. Have any of the other companies under Cigna or even Cigna itself seen layoffs today?

Layoff notices went out today

It should be no surprise that layoffs ultimately cost a company more in the long run, but here's an interesting interview nonetheless. It's worth a listen, but the TLDR is that short term gains are obvious, but longer term, it usually results in underperformance relative to companies who don't do that.

Now, that's just layoffs, so imagine what happens when you aren't just laying off, but also using dubious tactics to stack rank, fabricate performance reviews, and look for ways to fire people for cause as a way to avoid severance costs?

This is why I am not long in WFC and I watch it every month or so for opportunities to short.

Oklahoma City took the biggest hit. Anyone know the numbers?
What other locations were impacted?

Anyone know what’s happening there?

This has happened so much now it hasn't even made the local news.

Layoffs coming tomorrow. 15% of middle managers are getting axed. AI has replaced their job and as they add no value a reduction is needed.
No layoffs today, right?

The Cape Cod potato chip plant in Hyannis is shutting down operations, and nearly 50 people will lose their jobs, according to owner Campbell’s Co., which acquired the site in 2018.

Starting the year with a big round of layoffs doesn't exactly inspire confidence. It makes you wonder if they've got this planned as a recurring event. The thought of going through this stress every few months is really depressing.

“After careful and thoughtful analysis, certain non-patient-facing-revenue cycle functions will be transitioned to a partner. As a result, positions within the revenue cycle department will be reduced by 10.5% across Trinity Health’s national footprint."

I just got laid off, and weirdly, I'm fine? I thought I'd be freaking out, but I just feel numb. Maybe I'm in shock, or maybe I was just so done with this place that it's a relief.
