I retired in April thank God

After many years of loving my job at Cigna I decided to retire this spring after seeing signs of no new projects, managers caring less and less and everyone living under the constant threat of being laid off. I still care about all my ex colleagues and friends and I wonder what the end game is here, is it to totally make all Cigna managers non local ( indian) and try anf replace the experienced workforce with HIH employees ? It will fail. Its already failing. 2026 had hardly any new projects and it sounds like 2027 will be the same. May the force be with you all and F HIH.


Facility Shutdowns

Q3 2026 Facility Shutdowns (330 total employees affected):
• Elk Grove, California: Converting plant closing (136 jobs)
• Barrington, New Jersey: Converting plant closing (133 jobs)
• Aurora, Illinois: Sheet plant closing (41 jobs)
• Richwood, Kentucky: Preprint operations ceasing (20 jobs)


SHARE YOUR TRUTH!

Share your truth on this layoff board. Even after signing the big scary severance - they cannot harm you!

American jobs are under attack in mass and corporate America wants you, the working class, to fade off into absolute silence. What's best for Cigna is not best for YOU or your neighbor or your CHILDREN / next generation!

Speak up - share information - don't go out like a silent little minion.

Now be prepared in the replies to this thread for what is called "BOT ASTROTURFING" - this is Cigna's way of steering the narrative to a favorable opinion, shifting blame to someone or something else, or calling out the poster as crazy or posting long unrelated misinformation.

F CIGNA and speak your truth and encourage others to do the same!!


Shown the door after 15 years

I should feel betrayed, but I don't. I actually feel grateful for being given an easy out. I know the job market is far from ideal, but I'm also tired of having to worry about cuts all the time. The worst has now happened, so it can only go up from here, is my thinking. I wish all the best to all of you staying behind. The one thing I always liked about USAA is the people.


Severance Package - Negotiations

Have anyone been successful in negotiating a higher severance amount? I left an organization to come here that had an amazing severance package. I was skeptical about coming here because I liked the cushion the other company had. I thought the minimum was going to be 6 months here but just received a 3 month offer.


How's life @ DTV Stream?

I was laid off a couple of years ago after working on the AT&T TV then DTV Stream program. I've seen some others who were laid off in my LinkedIn which surprised me as they were senior engineers, some there since the beginning. Anyone still there? How is it now?

I will say that don't be afraid of the layoffs. My new job is infinitely better...


Article in the Star Tribune

possible,” asking for continued patience.

Pulumbarit said within weeks 3M will be able to reach a point “where most people will already know and have been informed” about their future with the company.

In a separate communication with employees obtained by the Minnesota Star Tribune, 3M officials said the moves were “to better position us for the future.”

The reorganization could stretch as far out as 2028, customer service employees were told in Wednesday’s call.

3M, which makes and sells thousands of products and services, has 60,500 employees, including 22,500 in the United States and 38,000 internationally.

3M opened global service centers in Costa Rica, the Philippines and Poland in 2015 and 2016. Customer service representatives at 3M maintain relationships and solve disputes with customers.

Companies across industries have embraced generative artificial intelligence to work more efficiently and productively and in the process have eliminated scores of jobs.

In July, Microsoft and 3M announced a partnership in which Microsoft would use 3M’s expanded beam optical technology, an easier way to install fiber-to-fiber connections within data centers, inside Microsoft data centers.

As part of the agreement, 3M would use AI technology from Microsoft across key business functions to reach business transformation goals, including those for customer service.

“At 3M, we view AI as a powerful tool that can accelerate growth, improve customer experiences and help our teams work more effectively,” said Jon Van Wyck, executive vice president and chief strategy officer at 3M, in a news release. “Our collaboration with Microsoft supports that vision through targeted optimization opportunities.”


HR Town Hall

I don’t think the leaders of this organization understand how extremely stressful it is in this job market to be strung along for a year with “HR Elevate”. Heard through the gossip mill that layoffs are finally coming for HR/TA and will be delivered by Thanksgiving. Only 6 more weeks to know if your kids will have health insurance this Christmas!


Eliza versus Expensive Workforce

The high-risk, high-cost Eliza project directly threatens BNY's expensive workforce with aggressive layoffs as RV faces intense pressure to protect operating margins. Because he cannot easily cut its multi-year, multi-billion-dollar AI infrastructure contracts, human capital represents the primary variable cost lever. If Eliza fails to smoothly transition from an expensive, high-maintenance experiment into a reliable utility, or conversely, if workers successfully train the platform to achieve full autonomy, RV will resort to swift, ruthless domestic headcount reductions and offshore remaining oversight to cheaper global hubs to offset rising tech expenses.


All Hail King Brian

Comcast is more the Roberts family business than any of you all realize. Brian holds one third of the all voting power. This company's direction is based solely on his whims.

Buying Sky was Brian's idea. Top 5 worst corporate acquisition of all time.

Sky became a bad acquisition because Brian let a personal vendetta against Disney jade his judgement. He got into a pi----g contest and drove up what Disney paid for Fox's assets by nearly $20 billion. That back fired because Disney did the same to him when he decided to buy Sky and he ended up paying double what it was worth. This crippled the rest of Comcast where it was unable to grow the company dure to the weight of more than $100 billion in debt.

This all dates back to another one of Brian's ideas the failed attempted a hostile take over of Disney 22 years ago. Disney is still pi---d about this and so is Brian.

Brian also decided to buy Time Warner. Another glorious disaster. Remember all the people layed off when that collapsed?

Buying NBC was also Brian's idea, not a terrible acquisition in the short term but ultimately a poor decision.

Brian realized a decade too late that TV is dead and his family business is failing because of it.


Losing Hope

I’m a very optimistic person. Even amid all the chaos, I remained hopeful that Verizon would finally start moving in the right direction. It’s been a year since Dan joined, yet we still seem dysfunctional, with no clear direction or alignment, and we’re still waiting for leadership to tell us what comes next.
Only thing that keeps coming back is “layoffs”.


Bank of America $1.2B Loss Sanctions Operations - Impact on BNY?

News of BAC's $1.2B loss hit the wires two nights ago. Did this news rattle operations at BNY? BNY has a large operating presence when it comes to sanctions screening. Senior Management, along with Heads of Compliance and Sanctions Operations, must have taken note of what happened as this is the third largest penalty ever imposed on any business with sanctions/money laundering violations. Operations, particularly with sanctions-oriented processes involving FinCEN and OFAC, have continually experienced losses in personnel from various US sites. Many knowledgeable employees in departments associated with Compliance and Operations, have been let go. The replacements are coming from offshore sites, primarily India. Hiring is cheap but the overall work is, and always has been, below average. Management shouldn't shrug off this fine as nothing. They should focus on happened to BAC and ensure it doesn't happen to them.
