#rif

The high number of RIFs and poorly run ‘transfer to contractor’ (a clear RIF later but without severance) are both obvious signs of a company about to collapse.
I blame the board and I blame senior management for letting it get this bad.
The share price will continue to fall because the company itself is failing. This last ditch effort only hastens the final failure and inevitable sale.
And I for one shall not mourn the demise.
I can only hope that it makes the architects as bankrupt monetarily as they are morally.

It's simply hilarious. Goals due, but no direction from leadership. Some orgs haven' been shared yet. No idea what to expect when L3 in technology is and what it means when it is shared in the next week and what that means for everyone under the ones chosen. Picking 1/2 GP and 1/2 WP doesn't mean the right people will be chosen. It is a wait and see over and over and over and over again. It's exhausting.

Is anyone hearing that there will be rifs this Thursday? What details can you share?

Hearing from management that there are expected to be riff's this week and that all area's of the company are in the scope.

...any news on more RIF's/potentially impacted areas?

Has anyone heard of anything brewing in OT, ORx OI etc? O lot of VP's have resigned in the last 2 weeks, I wonder if they were offered a package or knew something bad was coming?

RIF'd in February and received my separation package this morning. The dates are right and the weeks lump sum is correct but there is no mention how the PTO will be paid out. Falling under the rule of 60, in a conversation with HR a few weeks ago, they confirmed I would get the entire year's pto. How is that paid out and why isn't it in the separation agreement?

Any info on this? Saw it on the wireless side

Those are in the know now, are YIR and external teama feedback considered during charting out who gets laid off? If GL-32 is very happy with my performance and thinks highly of my contribution, will that matter during RIF where only a few teammates are fired? I joined about a year ago, got 5/5 YIR and was told I was one of the highest rated our of 24+ on our team but the project I was working on got shelved in May due to Reorg. If I get RIFed, I cannot imagine having to find another job right now due to personal situation. My GL31 tried to move me to a different domain thats funded, but that also got stalled due to funding allocation between various teams. My only hope is my YIR and being my GL32s good list will somehow position me to survive the April layoff. No one should be going through this afternoon working so hard every single day and I did like the role despite the grind.

My guess is that he won’t stay longer than a year. I’m in management and preparing for a revolving door of executives along with quarterly RIFs until we are ultimately acquired.

Has anyone noticed or heard of your time card being blocked if you’re going to be laid off? I went to go try to cancel a PTO request for later in the summer, but after April 4, my time card is totally black. I cannot make any changes. Other team members see the same thing. We do expect RIF in our department. Any HR or payroll people have any thoughts on this?

Do your best, always. Still, the reality is that the days of staying in one position for 20 years, earning steady raises, and feeling protected from RIF conversations are gone.

For those who are hurting, it makes sense. You invested a lot of yourself. But it’s also a moment to reflect, especially when younger generations have often been labeled as less committed or less invested. When they were just more optimized. You should have been learning from them.

This is the reality of 2026. Nothing work related is special about any of us.

My heart goes out to those who are out of work. There is something here for all of us to learn.

Not sure what groups are impacted. But do know that a coworker on the Retail team under Lau send an email to HR requesting a package when the next round hits and he was told Tuesday 3/24 will be the day.

Rumblings about product being impacted but it’s only rumor.

Same as Title

GL31 here - Execs will conduct individual layoffs throughout the year. This will be in addition to group layoffs of misc teams. In cases where there’s only 1 individual from a team being RIFd, this will be a 1/1 call w direct leader.

Meeting w leaders was 3/19 after massive layoffs complete to give notice of ‘next steps’. They are aware employees are expecting notices & the goal is to keep the next dates ‘confidential’ and have the ‘element of surprise’. Expect the unexpected as more deep cuts are coming.

My friend & peer is GL32. Informed GL30-32 will be part of the ‘individual’ layoffs as to not cause alarm to their teams. Expect sudden ‘retirements’, ‘spending more time with their families, pursuing other opportunities’, etc. But in the end, we all know they were booted & forced to leave. It just sounds better when it’s presented as though it was their choice vs forced.

Buckle up - lots more cuts on the horizon.

Was today’s payment for vacation or was that the special payment? I know we will receive a stub in the next couple of days via mail but curious if anyone knows now

Anyone know of RIFs at VP level in IT?

Ask your leaders in your next 1-1 measurable criteria for next 30/60/90. Make sure you include your plan. How they can help remove hurdles for you.

If they can't commit or are vague....you know already , but want to be passive , its ok.

You now know ! What you do with that is on you !

Hunt or get hunted !

Post only if anyone got an email or knows anything about RIF for El Paso

Unfortunately, all of these RIFs that are removing the actual people who do work and care, are going to negatively impact customers. Humana's biggest issues were they denied many claims and provided terrible customer service / digital experiences. This will only continue and get worse! The Digital products are horrible - they are not user friendly, perform slow, look as if people new to "digital products" are working on them! And, customer service is impacted - if they can't find what they need on digital products, it goes to the 800 number. Customers are dealing with their health - so, they need caring people to work at Humana, well and knowledgeable. In the Digital area, it seems they don't care and definitely have no experience or knowledge! I feel so for the customers - they will have a terrible 2026!!

Already got notified that I need to provide names by April 1st… we’re surviving the 03/19 wave but since I’m being asked to provide names it’s safe to assume there’s at least one round in April. Anyone else get notified? (GL30 here)

Apparently, inside sales AVPs were made aware of the RIF coming next month and were told to review the impact list before it's finalized this week. All ICs, no leaders.

If you're in the Orlando call center, it would be wise to make sure your savings are in order...I'm hearing that half that office is getting termed before June with some roles moved to Dallas.

You will know if you're impacted if you get an email from workforce mgmt asking you to document your average work day with your FLM copied.

Stay safe y'all!!

layoffs taking place today 3/17/26. Myself along with 2 others I know were laid off effective today!! GBD business

Another example of Humana making no sense...we have been on mandatory overtime for over 2 years and today we get RIFd for no reason.

How will my manager manage?

She has 3 pets, 2 performers, 2 under performers.

How will she fit them in the corporate Thrive boxes? With only $16,485.38 cents for raises, 2 of the pets are going to be punished by being forced into the performer box.

I do not see this working out well for my teammates. Feels like more undocumented RIF actions than NetApp's move important asset.

WDGSTIF? Who Did George Steal This Idea From? Oh, well his twin brother of course.

At the last town hall they said layoffs were done and we had the right people in the right places. But more people were rif'd last week. Not sure what to believe.

Please post here throughout the week if you hear anything about the potential 3/19 RIF, information is power....

Things were kept under wraps for a while but now your Band 5 leader now knows what’s going down…they have to choose who is going to be riffed…who will sink or swim. Don’t trust a single thing they say…

Score the company, team, leader too low, and you might find yourself part of a RIF.

I left 3 years ago, and man, I loved it at MDT. I had a great boss, great work, and just the best work friends ever. I was happy with my salary and benefits, too. I learned a lot and became a great professional largely because of my time there. They called me to go back last week.

And so it's devastating to say I told my ex-VP I wouldn't... because Geoff Martha is still CEO and for as long as that is true, it just isn't a stable place to work. I was privy to a lot of the details of RIF work and so much of it really was because of sh---y financial results, despite them calling it "OPTIMIZATION". Eventually they were even sacking really brilliant people that consistently delivered.

Really sad and they could turn it around if the board wasn't a bunch of rent-seekers and would do the right thing and get rid of GM.

So I was officially RIF ( in EMEA) about 2 weeks ago.
My direct manager; who I used to speak to maybe Three times a week has not even called or messaged. I did speak to him the day before I was RIF, he talked about plans and work related travel 3 months out.. wtf…

Band 4 manager here. I’ve lost a lot of talent over the past year due to RIF. As ops has moved over to HIH there’s a whole team over there doing stuff we deal with. Their manager pulled me into a meeting to say his employees were complaining about mine. Mainly that we are slow to respond, and that my team isn’t “nice.”

I asked for specifics and if anyone was unprofessional or outright rude. Turned out the HIH team doesn’t like that my team is direct, asks them to repeat when they don’t understand due to language or the ask is unclear, takes initiative, and basically does stuff fast without explanation because we don’t have time and have too much to do.

More discussion led to him asking me to have my team slow down and be more “pleasant” and to engage in back and forth rather than just getting to the point. I told him my team complains that they get pinged with just “hi” and won’t respond unless there is something actionable too. He asked for us to spend more time helping his team with their work so the can learn and get better and that my team has told his they don’t have time. I agreed. And I said as long as they are being professional, I can’t expect more from them because they are watching their friends and coworkers lose jobs that are being given to HIH.

HIH manager was very surprised and didn’t realize that what was going on. I said as long as we meet SLA then that’s that and I don’t expect my team to respond same day for anything that isn’t a managed incident.

Anyone at HIH on this forum, be glad we are interacting with you professionally. I’ve had team members express downright hatred for HIH. Nothing against you personally, but Cigna is firing us to give you jobs, so don’t expect friendliness.

None of this is sustainable. I’ve told my Director to put me on the layoff list. When I have to bite my tongue to avoid yelling at HIH, and I get no answers from above other than more RIF is coming but my team is okay because we are 20:80, I can’t do it anymore.

I wonder how many people were RIF’d today. :( we can’t keep living like this. It’s too stressful.
