#rif

Those of us impacted by the FIS sale, please be aware that FIS is scheduled for a major reduction in force on November 19th. Word is this will include many of us that were hoping for a stable place to land.
The wonderful company we work for is also about to make another cut. Some managers met yesterday, other meetings will be held this week. It doesnt look good. So glad I started applying to other places. I am done with this bs.

I wanted to see if it is me or if HCSC is really that disorganized in getting these two items taken care of for those of us that have been recently RIF'd. I am a REMOTE worker who was RIF'd back on 9/24/2025. I was curious if there are others experiencing the same as me. The contacts we were told to work with keep telling me it is coming.... We are almost at the one month mark and I have yet to get either below via mail, UPS, or even FedEx.

1. I have yet to receive any instruction from the transition team or IT telling me how to return my laptop.
2. I have yet to receive any instructions on how to apply for COBRA. We are less than 2 weeks from the end of our medical coverage.

Just curious if others are experiencing the same or if I should begin trying to get the information in other ways.

FLD - You Have A Decision To Make By The End Of October 2025

Do you continue the financial charades to keep the stock price up for maybe another 6 to 8 months, or do you do what is necessary to make F5 a world class Security Firm.

There are many of us that were RIFd over the last many years that would like to come back and make F5 a world class Security Firm.

Wait longer than 10 days and it will be beyond the timeline to make F5 a world class Security Firm.

Another big beautiful LR is in the works?!!?? HR is singing their happy songs and internal leadership is buzzing with excitement as they get to destroy more lives just in time for the holidays! Oh happy happy joy joy, but when will Chuck Robbins and his gang of merry Indian H1-B Visa dwarfs get the axe? Instead they get big bonuses and promotions. While American citizens get stomped on again by Cisco.

I have noticed that paying for the balance of remaining days off is something that they do not like
If you remember there was a strange shutdown in the middle of the year that they forced on us before doing that monster LR like an year ago.

It is highly probable that they will again do it in Jan/Fen and not in Nov.
Any thoughts ?

VBG here and I was told next big notification for most groups will be 3rd week in November with December 19th off payroll and 2 weeks per year with a cap.
RIF will hit non directional centers worse than three main campuses as the march to have those be the big three plays out. If they haven’t named your center explicitly as directional your time has come.

Bumping this to the top for info. OP is @z5+1k7jqjqqb.

Just heard at a party last night that they are getting rid of even more people next week than they did last week. My understanding is that the economy is about to make a very huge and very drastic U-TURN after a HUGE announcement about someone in power.

Once that happens, all heel will break lose and Brian will have to accelerate his RIF plans.

This came from a very trusted source!

What exactly does the severance include and is there a max? Is it 2 weeks for every year of service? What’s the max amount of weeks they’ll give? 50? Do they also give bonus and stocks?

Supposedly it was going to be a day or two affair. Now it looks like this will drag on for more than two months, and that’s if we’re lucky.

Any details on what happened today?

I’m hearing a lot of rumors about possible RIFs at Verizon, and I’m wondering if anyone knows whether remote or hybrid employees could be more at risk. Do you think Verizon might target work-from-home employees first, or is that just speculation?

I’d like to hear what others are seeing in their groups and whether RTO status is actually a factor when it comes to layoffs.

That’s insane if true. Can anyone confirm or share details? This is beyond alarming. Good luck to all of us.

14K (20% of the corporation) laid off today or the coming days. All segments, all areas of work.

Anyone with experience relating to this? Who makes the final call? Who puts the names on the list?

Keep value segment and RIFs the Verizon teams. We have and will always be better than verizon. They want to pretend they know or understand what we do and Clearly they know nothing about prepaid. Heck, they can't get even get their Accounting system synchronized to be ran soley by Verizon..very telling of how incompetent Verizon is..they need us not the other way around.

Heard the Plymouth Aero site in Minneapolis area announced a RIF today. Anyone hear of other sites doing the same?

Im seeing posts about this but no departments or business groups named. Im guessing no one really knows and its speculation based on past years? We can only hope for another VSP.

Hard to stay engaged with so many changes looming.

RIFS are happening this week they started today.

A commenter in another post said they would announce a RIF in the quarterly update. Anyone know anything?

say 3rd qtr meetings are combining with rif informs. Incoming!! Get your affairs in order

For those of us who fondly recall working for the most respected company on the planet in the 70s and 80s I think this sad video speaks for itself. This is the destruction of IBM Endicott campus which was a crown jewel of IBM founder and CEO Thomas J Watson for 42 years. He cared DEEPLY about IBMers and had engineers paint buildings rather than lay them off in hard times. Building after building and campus after campus all being bull dozed like this as perhaps the largest and longest RIF reduction in force has been going on since Gerstner came in 93. Since then there has been some recoveries but every IBMer (most from acquisitions now) put their head on the pillow every night wondering if I am next for the RIF or PIP the new trick performance improvement plan to avoid severance. In these building shards generations of IBMers were the best of the best.

There’s been a lot of predictions on here about more rounds. Anyone got any real intel? It appeared the layoff impacted certain teams a lot more than others. It would make sense that the teams that were spared last time will be next in the firing line. Before Christmas and bonuses? How did they decide which teams were impacted more than others?

We were told today that if they don't get enough volunteers for strike relief that management will do a mandatory selection. How is it that they can tell non-union employees that they have to travel and work outside of their home state and cross union lines. Is management within their right to fire employees if they don't volunteer. There is even talk of volunteers being shielded from an upcoming RIF. This all just sounds a little too nuts to be true, doesn't it?

I was rif last year - no complaints about my package - about the only thing that went smooth (I talked to an hr contact based in the U.S. - they exist!)

Contacted out of the blue by a legal group regarding discrimination in i.t., but no clue how they got my information. Has anybody else been contacted?

So the meeting today in Bedminster was with many managers and other higher ups. The layoff rumors appear to be true, if anything this may just be like some other past RIFs. You get noticed then you have "X" amount of time to check for another position. Not surprised, we arent making money and they need to cut

Leaking that the time is right for eoy packages. Rif will be in full swing

I thought the next big round was 10/30 but I keep seeing 10/16. Is this true??

I’m among those who expected nothing less from the new CEO, but cuts of 6% or more are a truly depressing number.

Not trying to sound alarmist, but after the recent RIF, it’s fair to say things feel uncertain right now. Seeing cuts happen after H1 is definitely out of the ordinary, and if performance targets don’t hit the mark, this could become a pattern. Even if that’s not the case, April isn’t as far away as it seems.

The reality is that nobody ever thinks it’ll happen to them until it does. Staying ready — keeping your resume and LinkedIn current — is just smart practice. It’s not about doom and gloom; it’s about being prepared in case the winds shift again.

RIF coming soon and notifications will be on 10/23. Believe it will be 6% across the company and all departments will be impacted. Thanks for the usual early Christmas present, Verizon.

Did anyone leave UHC this week from the RIFs? If so, what departments? I see some people are no longer here at the end of the week and I didn't know they were leaving.

The never ending…

I’m remote, and honestly terrified we’ll be among the first on the chopping block. If anyone has credible information, please share. There are so many rumors flying around - mass layoffs, HQ-only cuts, even a possible private equity acquisition. It’s hard to tell what’s real, and even harder not to expect something bigger lurking around the corner that could hit us all hard.

Today, my manager informed me that I’m part of the next round of actions, as my role is affected by the organizational health measures set by McKinsey. My team is being reassigned to different functional lines, and my manager mentioned that the RIF notification date is scheduled for 11/19. It appears that McKinsey’s recommendations are driving how our business is structured and managed, with decisions being made based on a set of data rather than the real work being done.

New wave coming and I will have the option to move to atl or dal. It’s going to affect about 200 of my peers.

RIF happened today in MI, stated it was due to Marketplace loss
