Comcast sales layoffs?

Anyone hearing anything about the current Comcast layoffs and whether Sales is being impacted?

Curious specifically about inside sales, sellers, and sales leadership. I’ve been hearing mixed things and am trying to separate fact from rumor. A lot of Sales was impacted by last year’s reorg, so I’m wondering what things are looking like this time around.

Has anyone heard anything credible about which teams or roles might be affected? Would appreciate any insight from those in the know!

Is today the day in Optum?

Loads of rumors but the Oct and Nov ones aren't as solid or confirmed as others in the past. In previous years the Oct RIF was among the largest of the year along with the Feb RIF. If there is one and you're impacted I wish you you the very best. If people hear of any going on let us know.


Layoff 10/22?

I heard rumors of layoff emails coming tomorrow. Anyone else heard the same? I know it makes more sense for it to be next Thursday but who knows what they are thinking.


Qualcomm Layoffs 2026: What’s Confirmed vs. What’s Rumored

Following the email from Cristiano, here are some things that I know and that I heard/read so far:

What's confirmed:

  • Amon's layoff email.
  • Confirmed cuts with some of my friends (and posts here0
  • The exact % of ppl being laid off has not been confirmed publicly.

Rumors circulating:

  • 7–9% layoffs across BUs and locations.
  • Performance-based cuts - some are suggesting this I doubt it
  • Org-dependent impact - % cut will vary by org - this is highly possible IMO, it'd follow the pattern from before.
  • Timeline - rumors is that we have 1mo+ before more details become clear.
  • New hires - People joining in Nov are puzzled - a number of roles in Automotive are starting in Nov - talked to a friend

Why cuts??? All speculative but come to mind

  • Weak smartphone demand
  • Rising memory prices
  • Increasing competition from AAPL/Samsung
  • Pricing power issues

Chime in if u have something to add, feel free to challenge any of these, I am puzzled and many of these may be inaccurate (aside from that top section)


Does anyone from management or upper level know anything we we at Centene do not?

I feel like something is going to happen, maybe a huge wave of layoffs, etc. My people leader is acting strange recently and it feels like he is hiding something from us. Does any one know what may be brewing in Centene, anyone from the upper echelons, etc. Don't be shy, devulge with us, pure mortals.... we need to know!
