#positionelimination

For anyone working at Blue Shield of California (or thinking bout joining) - keep an eye on what's happening. Another 54 permanent job cuts have been reported across Oakland, Long Beach, El Dorado Hills, Rancho Cordova, Lodi, Woodland Hills, and San Diego, with an effective date of 1/12/27. This follows multiple rounds of layoffs throughout 2025 and 2026. We're no longer talking about a single reorg event. These reductions have been happening repeatedly... often in small batches that don't attract much attention.

Mgmt continues to describe these moves as adjustments to changing business needs... the pattern is becoming difficult to ignore tho. Given the frequency of recent reductions, employees ARE paying attention. Have you heard anything about which departments or teams are being affected???? Are managers discussing further restructuring, hiring freezes, or positions being eliminated???? It would be useful to consolidate what we know about whats actually happening internally.

Receive notice today about my layoff. Claiming there were a lot more layoffs today reason given is elimination of position.
Same reason they give every quarter
This has been going on for at least the last five years.
This is not a good company to work for if you got a family and kids and depend on a consistent income and long-term.

I got a notification from HR and not my manager due to the Allina/Sutter merger my position is being eliminated within the Epic support model. I was told Allina is breaking the optum contract and my position was no longer needed for the rest of support.

Has any other former Allina person received this notice or heard about the contract break?

Jamie held a meeting today to inform us that our positions would be affected. With so many Cm's & Pa's what would be the criteria to be the first to be laid off?

Marvin couldn’t wait to replace Store Level Jobs with AI !!!

Personally affected. Positions eliminated. Several other people also hit.

My job is potentially being eliminated. Two years of golf and automating repetitive work. I prefer to think of it as preparing the position to function without me.

It makes no sense to any of us why our director was the only one on the Comp Ops team impacted by this. He’s an amazing leader who genuinely cares about his team and the company. It really looks like they just created a role one level higher to push him out.
I don't get why the company pushes out the best leaders. His comp knowledge and work ethic are irreplaceable, and it's hard to imagine working for anyone else. He was my biggest supporter, and I'm honestly so disappointed in leadership right now.

Health insurer Humana has recently implemented layoffs. The company did not disclose the exact number of employees affected. Specific roles eliminated were also not detailed.

Is anyone familiar with this process and what circumstances in which it is used? Is it done solely if your job is eliminated? Not necessarily due to a performance issue, but if the job function is eliminated? A google search provided that it is a 30-60 day window in which you are paid your salary by BofA to search within the bank for another position. No one I talked to seemed to be aware of it and didn’t know anyone who had been a part of this policy. Thanks in advance.

Not directly related but since there is no page for CU I am sticking it here - anyhow... CU plans to eliminate 170 positions across its PA campuses. Employees are expected to receive notices in January... layoffs scheduled to take effect July 1, 2027.

west div promotion 48 hours before elimination. ned hiring right before cuts. finance hire started two days before the annoucement.how does that happen if the target org and fte plan were alredy known? either hiring managers are compleatly outside the process, or people are being moved into roles leadership already knows may dissapear.

They are only building more powerful AI tools that will take your job the more you use it and feed it information. Use AI on your personal computer and unmanaged personal phone, THEN apply that to your job if you want. But the more we use AskDell and/or Claude, the more that's going to be used to cut positions.

Chubb notified workers that they were laid off and their positions eliminated in September

Not people just being laid off, but positions completely being removed.

is it true that theyre eliminating at least 1 AM per store?

Who replaces MKW? Obvious choice right now is EB

Upstream CN? BK, RB?
CFO EB -> JG
Downstream AW?
Subsurface JK?
Wells JS?

Turnaround, Capital Projects, FE movements probably not from retirements as those guys are pretty young still

MN and ES roles probably just go away and save the company millions

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has unveiled a budget proposal that includes significant cuts to a violence prevention program and the elimination of over 100 city positions. This plan also necessitates an 11.3% increase in property taxes to address a $32 million budget deficit. The proposal involves merging several city departments and aims to reallocate resources towards community ambassadors. The City Council will now review and negotiate these proposals before a final budget is approved in December.

I raised a HR case to get RIF'ed.
In one hour my manager sent me meeting invite. We discussed the terms and on amicable terms my position was made redundant. I was given full severance package as per terms in FIS Handbook.
My Location is Alpharetta, GA.
Just open a case with HR, they will consider it with open mind. In fact, I encourage everyone not happy with current events.

Currently CWA is in active negotiations with AT&T about the new combination technician title being created. The union can’t stop this , the title is coming. What’s being negotiated is the pay and shocker , the company wants to pay the title the same wage scale as all the titles it’s going to replace: WS32. This is a joke. They want the title to do all the dirty work of all other titles combined, which means a much larger skillset , and pay the same wage. The bigger plan though is to sc--w you all out of your severance or “surplus” pay. See , once this title exists , they can and will declare “technological surpluses “ of all the other titles and offer you a position as a combo tech. If you decline , you’re effectively quitting and not eligible to receive a single dollar of surplus or severance pay. How much you want to bet the union allows both the title to be ws32 AND have no protections from the subsequent surplus. This union is weak and will immediately roll over and show its belly.

Never take a position at this institution. They have recently declared financial exigency to layoff tenure-track faculty while admins keep increasing their own salaries. Shameful.

I have no proof, but I have a feeling those who were approved to leave on 9/4 were already going to get cut.

I have seen many posts with people upset (understandably so), that their separation dates are in 2027. my guess is those in the later groups have positions that were not going to get cut. they have been deemed essential. I do not believe these people will be a part of a future layoff.

it does look like those in certain functions were given later dates?

Southern Oregon University has revised its Vitality Plan, reinstating two academic majors previously slated for elimination.

I want to take FMLA to care for my mother with stage IV cancer. I have heard horror stories about positions being eliminated while on leave. Anyone have experience with this?

Dont comment to say everyone will be hit. Comment your insider details on what you have heard so far. My PL and their director claim to have no clue and promise to be transparent. Someone has to know something.

My position was eliminated out of the blue after working in that role for 6 months.
