#rumor

It’s time for a merger with Oxychem. Too many obvious advantages. Economies of scale, synergies, and market expansion. The rumors have already started and it’s time to move forward in 2H 2026 with this move. Stronger together.

Its Feb and everyone is saying they are coming but name departments please. Morrows kickoff meeting was this week.

I had a reliable source tell me something big is about to be announced but wouldnt say. has to do with us being sold, buying, or going public is all they said.

You won’t believe the tea DV was always spilling! He kept going on and on about how everyone who came over from USAA got that sweet LTIP I mean, literally down to the assistants who transferred in. Like, he made it sound like the ultimate selling point, the big perk that sealed the deal.
And don’t get me started on KS /DV she was all about bringing in her people to push out the NM crew, basically stirring up all this fear to clear house. It’s been two whole years of them making up their own rules and just lining their pockets. I heard only one is left now… what a total joke!

Any layoffs in finance coming up?

Heard a rumor that budgets have been drastically cut and Technology is barely functional. Rats have started abandoning the ship too. Any truth to this?

Someone mentioned there were gonna be Level 3 & 4 layoffs. What happened to this rumor?

What’s the latest word around the water cooler? Any update on the operating model or title changes? Or just anything in general?

I’m so confused. None of my bosses / leaders have said anything about no bonuses. I haven’t received any emails about no bonuses. But on here there’s so many posts of people speaking with such authority about no more bonuses.

Is this still just a rumor? Or has something been shared?

Just overheard 2 HR people talking that layoffs are next week.

Nobody’s talking about the February 12th announcement in Ram’s letter. Very cryptic.
What is it?

I’m not here to scare anyone but share what I’ve been told and heard but I was told there’s another RIF coming 2/19.

Lots of big swinging di-ks flying into NY next week for earnings. Seems like lots of people behind closed doors these days all over the place. Merger? Major Acquisition? Feels like something different.

Many are talking about potential February layoffs. Does anyone have solid intel, or are we all just anxiously guessing? I wish we knew one way or the other so we could prepare.

Saw the CEO of Nuvia left qualcomm and some other leavers from Qualcomm. Wonder what is going on. Leaving to found something else or layoffs/forced exits.

February might be the shortest month, but it'd still be good to know when exactly the supposed layoffs are to take place.

That is, if the layoffs are definitely happening this week.

When? Which department?

That's what I'm hearing about the restructuring and layoffs next week. Can anyone confirm?

Almost nothing on this website is factual. Stop getting su-ked in. Focus on what you can control: document your work, follow official info, and protect your career and mental health.

Have the best day of your life and don’t let anyone be your bad day.

Any insight into 2/5’s layoffs? Possible departments, etc.?

Very good source if mine told Sampath was getting axed. And March layoffs are mostly around senior management

I’m reading the layoff on 2/19 will be bigger than the one last month, and it will include Optum at Home staff that are grade level 27 and below. Anybody have information?

Keep hearing rumors about some leadership changes coming this week. Can someone spill the beans?

Dr Frank mentioned layoffs on the “normal cadence” and said 90% should be done already. What is the normal cadence? Right before bonus rrp feb/march?

Hearing the BOD has booked out all conference rooms in the S&T floor at NYHQ for the entirety of this week- cuts coming rather soon?

Heard layoffs are starting next week at least for converse, does anyone know?

What are you hearing about COP outsourcing IT to India? Hearing a lot of rumors.

So Alex is the one getting laid off. When will the rest of his cronies be gone so 🤔

Through the rumor mill ….. protocol and AM are next. Their leaders will tell them they are safe and no way WRS can do what they do….. lies. All lies. Whole place is lies.

It is all over the news

Can someone confirm?

Excitement is brewing over the huge Venz Oil possibilities since it holds the worlds largest oil reserves. Temptation to move all assets there could be lucrative. Better make sure any new contract covers overseas relocation and exact wording in new contract for different laws for any country and not just in U, S.A. else that boat could leave without you on board in the near future.

Until layoffs actually happen at your work site or disclosed from credible major news sources, do not believe any posts on this forum about them. As you found out, posters do not provide the affected groups or actual information to make their rumors even close to being true. Actual information should include initials of senior management for the affected groups. Do not use BM as we all know whose initials they belong to. Only valid BOA employees would know the organization affected by referencing the initials. It is ridiculous by the number of bogus posts about layoffs on this forum. This is not a game.

Is PnC mod claims or policy team in the layoff list next ?

Dell is about to get broken off

Does it have any legs?

Also heard that they are looking for volunteers. Bit confused.
If I express interest, then I am exposing my intent to the management which can easily put me in a PIP or find other reasons and kick me out.
If I keep quiet also it may happen but then I missed my chance of volunteering (and may be saving someone who needs the job). I am done with this org and have something else. But I do not want to lose my one-year of potential severance. That is a lot to leave it on the table

Any insight?

Is there any truth to the rumors of “voluntary” layoffs? With the recent decimation of market cap, that would be no surprise.

I’ve been hearing about February around my office. Just a rumor, not confirmed by someone in the know.
