#nocommunication

I’ve noticed on my team under the umbrella of National Buying, every now and then, we hear that XYZ is no longer with the company, effective immediately, no further explanation. And then their role doesn’t get reposted. I don’t know if these people are being let go or if they are quitting and it’s effective immediately. But it is ominous. Thoughts? Insight?

Even here we're only getting bare bones. What's going on?

My manager/sr director still did not give clarity on if it’s over or not :/

To anyone here that was made redundant (especially those in NI) were there any signs leading up to your redundancy? Less communication from leadership etc. or did it come completely out of the blue? Was a meeting scheduled to tell you the news last minute?

I had no idea layoffs were coming and I know some people who were completely caught off guard in the last few weeks. This is not right.

After more than three years here, I hardly recognize the way my store is run. We're short staffed, nobody tells us what's going on, and the raises we've been promised still haven't happened. Is this the case all around?

Been holding off on this post. How did this group come about. How do you get to live off others work in such a manner. No communications no plans nothing. Here we are, we run the show but not really.

Thank you to everyone who shared valuable information on here about this entire ordeal. Hard to believe every piece of information we got was via an online forum and not communicated to us via leadership. To all those impacted, may your severance be large and your job search be smooth. This was truly heart-wrenching to watch it unfold. Much love and support to everyone.

No one can get any work done why don't they just come clean with who is being laid off

Many companies are now announcing upcoming layoffs but are not providing details on who will be affected or when. This lack of information leaves employees in a state of prolonged uncertainty and anxiety. Workers are left to speculate about their job security for weeks or even months. This approach creates significant stress for the workforce. The exact timing and individuals impacted remain unknown.

Is anyone else dealing with shuffling of employees with no context at all? How are the year ends going to be with all the changes?

The silence and consistent cancelation of meetings or pushing out is a clear indication of what we have all experienced before. They will continue to get paid as advisors long after so just update resume and fill in the time. Don't expect employee loyalty to mean anything. Proud of the time but not confident in their leadership.

A mushroom farmer. So are his executive successors today. They keep us in the dark and feed us sh-t. Hello there mushrooms.

Dozens of reserve firefighters in South Tucson received termination notices via email. This action follows the city's decision to partner with Rural Metro for fire services. Some affected employees expressed feelings of deception, stating they were not directly informed of the changes. The transition meant these part-time firefighters, who relied on the income, lost their positions with little notice. The city maintains the department's branding will remain the same despite the operational shift.

So apparently the August layoffs are completely canceled again.

At this point, does anyone actually know what’s going on at Oracle?

For weeks we’ve been hearing about another major round of cuts coming in August, managers supposedly making lists, double-digit reductions on some teams, 6 a.m. emails, cuts before September 1, etc. People have basically been sitting around waiting to find out whether they still have a job.

And now… nothing? Canceled again?

The constant back-and-forth is getting ridiculous. One week everyone is convinced a huge RIF is imminent, then the date moves, then rumors start again, and now supposedly August is off entirely.

Has anyone heard anything credible internally about what changed? Are the layoffs actually canceled, just postponed into September, or is nobody—including management—really sure what the plan is anymore?

Would especially like to hear from Oracle employees/managers who have gotten an actual update rather than another round of Blind rumors.

Any of you got an email with official statement? Since these were group leaders, you would think some communication would follow.

I find it so disturbing that there is NO communication going on about who has been let go, what the more global impact is going to be. The layoffs WILL affect every team at Centene in one way or another. My team had several take VSP but no lay offs (this time or so far)....they haven't even publicly said who on our team would be leaving by VSP. Absolutely zero communication from manager and above on any impact. I mean, we all know things will change across the board for folks still here....yet it feels so hush hush....meanwhile the VSP folks sit and wait until late next year to actually leave......assuming Centene is still around to pay folks out by then I guess......But lets keep preaching about that transparency......

Seems too quiet

I did not take VSP, but after what I have witnessed in the past week I truly wish I had.

Some people being told they cannot tell people they took VSP when some are. Teams finding out their People Leader is leaving via the rumor mill before they are told by them because "We want to be able to tell them where they are going to land", two weeks later they have no idea who they will report to.

High level VP's in charge of hundreds to thousands of people not seeming to have a clue what the new org structures will be or are doing a really good job of playing d-mb.

Get your s--- together, lock yourself in a room until you have a damn plan for those that will be left.

So many about to be blindsided by ISP next week from Mon-Wed that truly think they are safe because they did not take VSP.

Best of luck to all of you who chose to leave and to those that did not chose to leave but are on secret lists out there. You will be OK, and better off after what our leaders have shown us this past couple of weeks!

It feel like the European markets has become the last target. Managers, mid level engineers and data scientists are being laid off like leaves falling in autumn. The way it is being handled makes it seem like they want to abandon much of the remaining EU markets. All veterans almost let go.

If feels as if minions were simply told, "keep removing people until you hit the quarter target numbers" , layoff is Nielsen new innovation, regardless of the consequences. The irony is that they seemed sorting employees by compensation in Excel and working their way down. R.I.P

Any new organizational updates from PI?

Another 10% is leaving on top of all the layoffs this year already. Any word on additional RIF?

A couple ppl have been able to move their VSP date which seems crazy. We were told Dec 11 but several have now moved to 9/4.

Some new teams have already been formed while some remain untouched with no new direction. Are we sitting ducks? Our leaders are leaving and we aren’t being told anything.

Anyone else here being told anything at all?

Also KT suing Centene? And naming KC?

Im not sure if it’s because im not someone whos getting laid off, or it just hasn’t caught up to me yet…..but im wondering where everyone’s getting this august 12th-14th date as the timeframe we’re all supposedly supposed to know if involuntarily layoffs will happen ?I check my emails nearly every hour since this whole thing started and all ive gotten is im not eligible for vsp. Thats it, i see so many posts even on facebook of people talking about what and when their separation dates are. But i get no information, my sup tells my team nothing. I work in claims talking to the providers and do authorizations, so is it just certain departments with this information or are some PL/supervisors more willing to talk?

No communication no clear updates and Jennifer is no where to be seen apart from a low impact appearance on an all hands with a teleprompter.

Is this really good enough?

Are we still at an MCO Or has this turned into fast paced thriller featuring hidden identities, strange disappearances, dark secrets and shocking plot twists reminiscent of Harlan Coben's Netflix series?
The information is much better hidden and protected then Dr. Fauci's diary.

This is so exhausting and draining.

Employees at Schwebel's have reported the commencement of layoffs. Some workers expressed surprise at the sudden nature of the dismissals. The company is reportedly encouraging affected staff to file for unemployment benefits. Certain departments were expected to continue operations until later in the week. The exact number of employees impacted by these reductions was not specified.

The managers wonder why morale is low, they wonder why people don't care anymore.
They don't take care of the people that shows up to work and when they do punish the ones that calls in all the time, some how it ends up being everyone included at the buffet.
Short handed, no communication, no help, and no rewards for hard work beside a paycheck.

Anyone else received a meeting invite from Brenda Bermudez at 3PM EST? No context at all.

Rumors are buzzing all around the company. Unfortunately since leadership hasn’t communicated much people are making things up. I suggest you don’t spread rumors until we have facts in official communications.

Humana rescinded an offer and I'm trying to figure out why. Is there a hiring freeze or something going on?

Our manager has been saying we'd get two new team members for what feels like forever. It's been months and nothing. No new hires, no updates, no explanations. I don't know if there's an official hiring freeze or if the approvals just aren't coming through, but whatever the reason, we're drowning. We can't sustain this much longer and nobody seems to care.

any updates?

I heard if you get meets expectations this year you only get 50% of your bonus. Anyone else heard this? I asked my manager and they didn't know so I called HR and they said there is no info available to them and to wait and see.

Surely, Oracle knows where the next round of layoffs in September are going to be? Probably Cerner, maybe Sales, maybe OCI, other places, if I had to guess from my uninformed internal location. So, why is management letting 150k people just generally wonder about if they're going to be next, and give current employees some sort of heads up? It's ki-ling all internal workflows with letting everybody think that "they're next", when it doesn't have to be that way.

at least today they said mckinsie is determining our "new way of working". that is as effective as sending a one legged man to a butt kicking contest.

We know someone is reading this...I heard today "this is the last one this year" this is the 3rd time this year I have heard that. That is why you are not trusted. It is that simple. You don't tell us the truth over and over again. This is the last one this year....most dont believe you. Board Members. The execs are not trusted. No exec managers. I know why you tow the company line. You dont want to be next. Grow a pair and stop lying also.

Anyone heard back from their supervisor yet?

I have been to Two World Olympics, Three Goat Roping's and one Hippo Gigging and never seen anything like this.. Was told Channel was strong and NO LAYOFF's this year on Jan 1 (Not there 5 months). Then this.... SH had a call with the group and said this place has "Failed". Then he makes the decesion on what peolpe go. I knew this group was "Doomed" after this. Last in First Out.... ATT is a great company but some leaders? Where is Chow need her back...
