Will there be cuts?

With Landmark fully sunsetting on 12/31, talk of organizational changes, and losing patients to other health plans, any word on RIF’s in this area in January?

Can I take another job if I’m in my non working notice period before lay off?

And how AI savvy are you? Do you know what the key developments in 2025 were and why AI is better positioned going in to 2026? Do you use AI for your job? I got the idea when a cousin sent an apparently popular news aggregator named Nate and I have no idea who this guy is. Of course we’re all enjoying our own caviar as Intel AI consumers…..

In coffee line waiting for barista to take my order, overheard two people behind me talking quietly about organizational changes in Q1. Has anyone heard anything about this they can share? Will it be due to layoffs?

Only counted two on Linkedin announcing the news... I'm guessing not enough old guys leaving to stop the second phase... involuntary layoffs.

Is UM preauth going offshore?

Got a real question, need clarification on something? Leave it here, no bullsh-t in this thread. Let's start something productive.

Any scuttle but from Egypt? Hearing that divestment is a possibility. It would simplify the company tremendously. Next hurdle offload the BP and Exoon North Sea Assets back to BP and Exxon…

The marketing function has become a factory for titles, acronyms, and unaccountable “strategy” that fails the only test that matters: measurable impact on claims, utilization, and outcomes. Too much work is optimized for decks, meetings, and vanity metrics—and not nearly enough is grounded in basic insurance fluency, network reality, or results you can defend in the data.

The org is so aggressively matrixed that responsibility evaporates. People “own” a narrow slice of a slice of a business, yet can’t clearly explain what they own, what the product actually is, what the acronyms mean, or how members are supposed to find in-network care. When ownership is that diluted, execution becomes guesswork and accountability becomes optional.

Meanwhile, member outreach is a chaotic pile-on. Digital sends emails. Marketing sends emails. MDLIVE sends emails. Express Scripts sends emails. There’s no single orchestrator, no shared plan, and no one accountable for the member experience end-to-end—just overlapping blasts and conflicting messages. Cigna doesn’t have a marketing organization; it has a fragmented broadcast system optimized for internal theater, not results.

Is this likely how the layoffs will go down?

Store level employees should be mostly fine. Most likely cut is BWC. High paid SMs might be a target down the line, but I think the focus will be DM and above in January.

What's your prediction for next year?

It's 12/25 and luckily unlike the past couple of yrs the MOA Corporate Grinch hasn't ruined the holidays again. But tonite I'm in California stuck in front of the TV watching the Grinch on the Peacock network.

What really pis_ses me off is the fact that very own 401K plan is so pathetic compared w/our competitors like ADP. No self directed brokerage option. No managed account option. Very few if any new funds or fund line up changes. No new educational materials. No financial planning opportunities. It's total BS how the plans lacks true fiduciary oversight.

Company gets sued over their own plan--no changes. Company freezes pension--no changes but only cut backs to 401k benefits. No enhancement. Company needs to watch it as there could be lawsuits in the works over the 401k plan.

For crying out loud it is 2026 and still no SDBA or managed options ?

No wonder clients are leaving. They see no enhancements to their plans either like we don't see any to ours. Clients see no brokerage. No new funds. No new education. No managed.

Work to Rich and the Board this Christmas night---give us the present we deserve. Give us a competitive retirement plan. Give out clients the same present wrapped in a bow. A better retirement plan. If you keep your in action up and don't improve our plan and their's either, you will find yourself out of a job in 15 more months.

Step it up Fu.ck.u

Have any of the other laid off employees been struggling to find work? I've had to start an Onlyf-ns. It isn't going great, but it is helping me buy food. If any other RIF employees also had to do this to survive let me know and maybe we could collab.

Hi all,
anyone aware of CIP payments and when they will be paid?

in my offboarding package, they mentioned I will have CIP payments which is equal to yearly bonus payout along with pay in lieu and notice period.

My last day was in dec 3rd week and received all the remaining pay. but I haven't received CIP payment. Did anyone get it or anyone has info. when they will be deposited?

Did Intel reach the target yet on Christmas and end of the year?

Vteamer here in the West area, I am currently ranked enterprise top 30 but I do not qualify as my VZ Protect rate is not at 55% heading into December

it is at 52% Can I still get it? Or is the percentage game too hard to obtain?

Has anyone ever witnessed a corporate HR department in other jobs as disconnected as Belk’s corporate HR is from stores, corporate office and WFH workers, and store associates as Belk?

Literally 1 HRBP over 100 stores
Who is out of state. Questions about FMLA, Maternity leave, Doesn’t have a clue what’s happening in store, one HRBP claiming she was a previous belk store manager, yet gives the most manufactured, out of touch answers to questions that leave the person with even more unanswered questions. It’s simply called gaslighting 101. If you need H.R. please understand you will get four different answers to the same questions!!

Didn’t get to submit it before the deadline. Can I just contact HR to get it paid out? I know it may come later but still want to be sure I get all what is owed to me.

Are we suppose to get a final pay check for the last month we worked for Nov 20- Dec 20 and then our severance 3 weeks later (End of January) ?

The Christmas season is coming to an end. The Valentines Aisle is to be set in full in less than 3 weeks. Who do you think, at store level, is going to be laid off first? High paid SMs, high tier SMs, Hourly or Salary ESMs, IS or ISL, lessen the SFLs, the rest of the BCs, or RXOMs?

Anyone have an anecdotal evidence that Ansys grants a non-compete waiver? I have an offer from Ansys's customer (OEM) and they want me to get a waiver to join

Based in the USA (not in CA). Please comment if you have any insight into this.

Do you answer or just respond when you get back? I feel like I’m being pressured because they have sent two emails knowing I am on pto this week. Why do people do this? I have my ooo message on and my calendar blocked for a reason.

Senior leaders keep making top-down decisions without understanding our day-to-day work or what our customers actually need. They’ve significantly cut the team and then turn around and expect the same impossible deadlines with far fewer people. Cue shocked Pikachu face when we can’t physically get it done.

I’ve been looking for another job for months now, partly as a precaution and partly because I really need a change. But it’s incredibly depressing out there. I’ve been genuinely trying, and I’ve managed to land a grand total of one interview. Has anyone had better luck?

I'm technically assigned to an office but never go in. About half of my team is assigned to an office and the other half are officially remote, but we all work from home every day. I'm thinking of asking my manager to switch me to a telecommuter in order to protect me from a potential upcoming RTO mandate, but I'm wondering if becoming a telecommuter would actually increase the chances that I get laid off.

Anyone mid internal hiring process and notified that the req has been put on hold? I had an interview scheduled for early January but now it is cancelled. Is this just to see if the position will be eliminated?

Schulman, what is the policy for the enterprise to work-from-home and to promotability when working from any of the Verizon locations?

2018 AT&T Buys Time Warner for $85 Billion
2022 AT&T Sells to Discovery for $43 Billion
2025 Current Bids
Netflix - $72 Billion (Studios/ Streaming only)
Paramount - $108.4 Billion (Entire Company)

The AT&T architects of this deal either got promoted or received a golden parachute for losing over $50 BILLION of shareholder value. And then there was the DTV deal…

We should receive our severance payout in a few weeks. I’ll pay off a few bills and horde the rest. You?

I am over 55. If I leave Dell by layoff or my own decision, will I be able to choose whether I an withdraw from Fidelity's traditional 401k or the Roth? Or do they just have one bucket split proportionally?

Hard work and dedication clearly don’t pay off, and layoffs are always looming. Why should anyone care about the outcomes? Worse, from what we’ve seen over the years, the better you are at your job, the higher the chance you’ll be cut. And god forbid you actually show professional integrity.

January 22 is the announcement. Lots of projects will rush in the first three weeks of the year to get done. If you're getting unusual pressure to complete projects by that deadline, it's part par for the course, part because you're out. Those in the know and sticking around are squeezing every last minute of work from USA-based teams.

It's so big I don't know how we avoid WARN, legal must have convinced themselves that WFH = each residence is a job site. Interesting to see how we avoid WARN with RTO - only way I see is future layoffs are to remote workers.

OP: @an+1kd36hvqq

Any word if flexible schedules will be eliminated 2026? It’s one of the biggest incentives the company currently offers.

How do you find out which stores are good/silver stores?

What an inordinate amount of training. There's 1-2 literally due every week. Sometimes it's 6-7 per month. In Dec alone, I have done 6 so far. No one learns anything like this. Some id--t somewhere is checking the boxes, and the entire firm is going along with it. What is this show for? Regulators? I've been at other banks. No one has such a busy training schedule
