Anyone know how much WellMed/Optum Florida will be impacted this week?

This week it is official, I will be unemployed for the first time in my life. I've sent out a few applications but I'm nervous. December crew- how did the timing work for vacation payouts and severance, have you gotten your money yet?

Just curious,

1.In which week exactly are promotions communicated and go live in the system?

2.Also at this point are the manager ratings are already locked or the reporting manager still has a chance to update the rating for 2025?

anyone think there will be big cuts in marketing in HQ? Anyone hear anything?

Will ECS be getting hit on Friday?

Out of 14 VPs left, we have 2 maybe 3 decent leaders left at the VP level in GT.

Others are highly toxic, backstabbing, have no vision, will sacrifice their team to make themselves look good, lack technical, product, or design competency.

Make no mistake that sooner or later all of the above will impact all of us even if you are in the space that is isolated from it right now or are able to talk you way out of it (at least for now).

Terrible work environment and have another job lined up. Can anyone offer any advice on how to handle the exit process? What do they do, what can I expect?

The whispers of worst case scenario are getting old.

Did the same design team work on these?

Is there any company polices stating I must be logged on my laptop while at work?
Last week I did not log on my computer one day while at work. I didn't notice anything unusual that day or did I receive any phone calls from anyone telling me they have not received a response to emails they sent me.

Anyone else having issues as well?

I want to know how I can uninstall Microsoft Outlook from my Boeing computer.
I don't want to receive or read any more useless emails every day or respond back to them. I get about 20 emails a day from, coworkers asking about my work, my manager asking me useless questions and emails from Boeing corp. About a year ago, I changed the Outlook settings so my Inbox will never receive any emails in it. All the emails sent to me by anyone go directly in to my Delete folder. I manually empty the Delete folder every day before I log off my computer. I'm tired of having to do the manually empty delete folder every day and want to uninstall Outlook from my computer. Can someone provide the how to uninstall Outlook steps?

I've noticed several people commenting about the need to be in the office 4 out of 6 weeks.

Don't managers get notified each week when someone isn't meeting the 3-day office requirement? How are people able to use the reporting period workaround?

Anyone else tired of the line “Converse teammates are on a separate timeline”?

Former (as of 10 AM today) GAE - just wondering how many lost their jobs today. Serious questions need to be asked how the allegedly Best Network with Industry Leading 2025 quarterly results has dropped its stock price from $270 to $183 in 9 mo's. Good luck to all, I'm lucky & will retire as the package bridges me to age 65 & Medicare with good savings over 30 yrs at Vz. Such a shame and so far from the celebration of Q3 results - I guess $85B in '25, up from $81B in '24 and $78B in '23 just isnt enough??!!

He had investigations so what were they? And why is he leaving or was fired?

Heard someone say that but I haven't heard anything

Mid year and end of year IM, with both reviews claiming I was trending towards IM. In a DF group that has seen very few cuts. How scared should I be?

This team has been all over the place for so long. Anyone have any idea if we will get domain leadership and a reset? No direction. No strong leadership. Always chasing down random MD asks and fire drills. It would be nice to actually help enable the other domains for once. Do we have hope for change??? Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad TT is gone. I just wish we could find some identity here.

I know there are people on this site who probably have some insights into what’s happening with remote employees. Specifically in that middle job grade class (14-17).
If you can share any insights into the remote/layoff strategy in 2026 please do. Should I be concerned and on alert if I’m in this grade range and remote?

Title says it all. Thanks in advance.

Heard internally 14th was layoffs - 15th comp day. What is everyone hearing?

Verizon won a ruling yesterday that allowed them stop unlocking phones after 60 days. If. an update was pushed to lock all phones that had been unlocked prior to the ruling, could that have caused the supposed authentication issues that are rumored to be the cause of the outage?

Does this mean the whole team is getting fired? or is this just for some team structure change, no invite on calendar. Very anxious

at least I hope so. This is a complete and utter s*its-how.
What is going on?

When will promotion, raise and RSU refresh be notified for Feb 2026 cycle?

I didn’t get anything the first week of January so I’m holding off on applying until the first week of Feb. Ideally I want to time it so I can resign the day the bonuses hit. I wonder if companies know this so are holding back on job listings until then.

I know plenty who received no merit because of that forced rating

We all know layoff season is upon us... again.. What are everyone's guesses?

To start with, I'm betting a LOT of the Maverick folk's, NC included, PM's, Engineers, Sr. Engineers, and managers who were heavily involved will get cut since the OG deadline was pushed back a quarter. JC was NOT happy about this, "to be clear."

• Full remote employees - I feel like at some point Dell HAS to start cutting the full remote's considering they want 100% of the company to be local to an office now.. They are hoping many will quit as remote's are not eligible for promotions or movement but, depending on your IC level... that may not be an issue for a lot of them. Not that dell has been promoting anyways lol.

• Then, ISG/CSG...

• IT - tech support, devs, etc..

• Sales - likely more ISR's and AEs or TSR's. Or they combine a TSR into a one shop stop who does all of those roles lol..

• I'm betting a lot of middle management will be cut this round, which would be directors because the majority of managers and sr. managers were demoted last year...

• Then the over 50 crowd, those who've been there for 15+ years, and those who make way too much money for their grade level.

• Then the rest will be mostly randoms

Anyone curious about the HR led API compensation webinars discussing changes to api from previous years.

I wonder if its neutral impact or negative. They are always messing with our money.

Anyone hear anything more?

Anyone hearing this? Districts will increase average store count. Districts will combine.

Do you think cuts will be determined more by site/location or function? Or both?

Laid off. Anyone else in Tampa?

Tons of cops, building evacuated for hours, teammates who were unable to grab their laptops stuck in the parking lot. Drones flying over the building…and not a word mentioned.

I noticed on Att careers there’s so many job postings for associate directors In several states! Did something happen for this to occur? It’s like 8 job postings they got rid of everyone?
