SCR Medical Transportation is implementing significant layoffs affecting 241 employees. This decision stems from the expiration of a decade-long contract with Pace Suburban Bus for call center services. The contract was rebid to a different company, leading to the job reductions. The company has provided resources to assist affected employees in finding new employment. These layoffs are scheduled to occur on September 30th.

Any idea if today's RIF has impacted just LOBs or corporate departments as well? Especially, any layoffs in marketing?

My sup posted that as of right now from our team no one is being let go- she can’t comment on the future but for now we’re safe
I know it’s such a hard day for everyone. Thinking and wishing all of you better days and better opportunities 🧡

Refresco Beverages has altered its plans for the Carlisle facility. The plant will now function as a distribution center. This change means fewer employees will face layoffs than initially expected.

Has anyone interviewed after a layoff? Was the process the same as external candidates or is there any difference in the interview process for those that were already with the company?

Has anyone from ambetter been lay offed today?

We were just informed in an team all hands meeting that two of our team is being let go. They were notified earlier this morning, and will be around for a few more weeks.

Or will this drag out throughout the week?

Does the fact that you could go all out, work a ton, crush all your goals and then some, and still be laid off in the spring motivate you to work harder?

July lay off with last day 8/14
IT rebadge 8/31?
What else? AVP layoffs? Band 6 layoffs? Resignations from SVPs that didn’t get Consumer CEO role?

Comment all credible information below

I heard MT Interfaces was impacted.
No idea where else in the company yet.

If youre a customer service advocate or work the PCC line check in! Weve had no meetings, everyones still here on my team no updates no nothing but i see everyone else dropping like flies! Nearly everyone on my team was vsp eligible but me and one other person, but another supervisor told her team that enough people took the vsp that they didnt need to lay people off

Are we thinking a big announcement or just quiet cuts? My org has hired quite a few in the last quarter, so confused what’s going on here. Not convinced they’ll be doing any major LRs as of now.

In reading all of the forum posts on Centene lay-offs, the one common denominator is how the lack of information, misinformation and blatant lies has systematically destroyed the morale of almost every employee who has/or currently worked there! The level of stress the employees have had to endure seems unnecessary and borderline cruel. So much for a CEO that preaches transparency and doing the right thing.

Welp! Got my notification this morning. To say I’m surprised would be a lie. I was let go due to a personal vendetta but hey life goes on. I’m actually relieved. Centene is a sinking ship that I’m happy to be off of lol

They offered VSP. Then they turned down a fifth of people who said yes. Now they're laying folks off involuntarily. Why? Why didn't they just approve everybody who said yes?

AMD is doing a string of acquisitions lately with the most recent one being Taalas. I've heard that things are already dicey internally@amd

But are layoffs actually on the horizon because of these acquisitions ? Any chatter?

What a weird set of circumstances. I want to leave. They pushed my VSP to 11/27. People want to stay and nope.

In the past, layoffs were final. They took a day or two to let everybody know and after that we could refocus on our work. Now, even after this round is done, we know more will be coming. In a month, two, or six, but we all know it's coming. There's no reprieve anymore. Just constant stressing.

I am KY UM Medicaid any word. We have continued to asked and been told that there is no reason to worry we are busy. Also that vsp were not approved until September of next year. Which I did not believe.

Managers are aware of what’s happening but they pretend they don’t. For certain leadership got to choose who stays and who goes. It doesn’t seem to amaze me coming from this toxic environment. I knew I was going to get this call today and was on top of the list. Leadership is intimidated by people who speak up and don’t brown nose. I know that I will definitely find a place where I will be appreciated and valued!

#OpenToWork posts are already starting to pop up, they can be indicative of what's being hit.

IS THERE GOING TO BE ANOTHER LAYOFF 08/2026…. OPTUM/UHC

So are they done with stores, if not what’s the final number and time frame?

Hope everyone gets the outcome they want. But please be careful getting comfortable here. They are in a mad rush to implement AI across the board and outsource what they can’t. If you get a stay of execution today, don’t think for one second you are no longer on death row. Use this as time to plan your next move.

Got my message at 9am.

Good luck everyone! I'm surprisingly not upset. I think it's because I always felt like we were triplicating work already done by bigger teams. Maybe I will feel some type of way later, but right now, it's just indifference.

Who's hoping they are on the list?

Layoffs have started and there is no end in sight. Sad to see so many post on LinkedIn.

Checking on colleagues. All quiet in my area.

Over 300 employees at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport will lose their jobs. This layoff is due to a contract change for parking management services. SP Plus, the current provider, will see its contract end. LAZ Parking Texas LLC will take over the airport's parking operations. The affected workers will be laid off on September 30th.

What's the point of all of these recruiting and connection events they're doing for interns, new employees etc. they are just going to be working the same dead end jobs we are, one day here gone the next, or one day working on a project next day reallocated to something completely different.

Ubisoft Entertainment is facing scrutiny regarding its recent workforce reductions at its Red Storm Entertainment studio. This follows an earlier wave of job cuts, raising questions about the aggregation of layoffs under the federal WARN Act. The Act mandates 60-day notice for mass layoffs or plant closings, with significant penalties for violations. Employers must consider all employment losses within a 90-day window to determine WARN Act applicability. This situation highlights the complexities of multi-round reductions and legal compliance for employers.
