#uncertainty

Will there be a lot more reorgs this year?

Will future severance payouts be impacted? Will it be less?

That would be the only good thing about it.

Anyone hearing about potential cuts coming up? Trying to stay ahead of the news.
More coming?

I prefer when there are rumors going around than the complete quiet on layoffs. Makes me think we're about to be hit by a major storm. I hope I'm wrong, but with everything happening in the entire industry, I wouldn't be surprised if major cost cutting is in our near future.

Does anyone have any genuine insights into whether or not the second round of layoffs will still be happening soon? Or could they be on hold for now until the WB merger is finalised? Doesn’t look like convergence will be ready as planned either.

For those who are connected with upper-level management, should we expect layoffs soon?

Things feel unusually quiet lately. It’s hard to tell whether it’s just a normal cycle or something else, but the silence feels a bit unsettling.

Not trying to spread rumors...just looking for perspective if anyone has insights.

Does anyone know if Kroger plans to do another round of lay offs for office staff any time soon?

I can't handle anything else right now. I'm already stretched so thin that losing my job this week would genuinely wreck me.

Never felt that curse more than now.

Can anyone confirm with certainty?

Do we know?

You might think your group is safe. You might have been told the cuts are done. Don't believe it. Stay prepared. Getting blindsided is way worse than expecting it and being wrong.

Days, weeks, months?

I was talking to a friend the other day and he said he always knows layoffs are coming at his company because managers basically go missing for weeks and routine meetings get canceled. Do we have something that? Has anybody noticed any similar or different clear signs layoffs are coming at Verizon?

I’ve been with the company for over 10 years, we’re being bought out again by Brinks.. what do you all think about this latest acquisition?

Nothing going on where I am. Based on the little info trickling in, seems like quiet layoffs this time. Not minimizing how awful it is for anyone impacted, just saying this round feels completely different from the last ones.

It's been scary quiet regarding layoff impact in NYC. Anyone care to share any insight into the matter?

Which groups have gotten layoffs this week? And no internal announcement yet, what's the deal ? Now called Fewer Coworker February since Fast Start Feb clearly didn't work

I guess I thought we would hear something today. If it is decent, I also find that a bit odd given all the layoffs underway this year.

Does anyone know if more layoffs are actually being planned, or is this just rumor mill stuff again?

My old coworkers are pretending I don't exist or scared to be laid off, so I'm asking for news here. How is Jeff's/Blanchard's group doing there. Have all the former Ronke folks left?

It feels like we are all just waiting for the next announcement, and the silence is not exactly reassuring.

I expected store closings, but I have to admit I was hoping corporate would be spared. Still, with the state of Pap Johns right now, it shouldn't be surprising to anybody. I'm just worried that this might be the start of something much bigger. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

It's been relentless, too much stress for way too long. At this rate, we'll all be wrecked by the time it's done. I wish they'd just ripped the bandage off in one go. Finding out bad news immediately hurts less than endless uncertainty. My heart goes out to the Blaine people, but at least they have answers. I truly wish them the best of luck finding good jobs.

I hope those who want out get the news they're waiting for, and those who need to stay get overlooked. I'm in the second group, so it's going to be a rough night.

ECS newsletter, "as we move forward into this next chapter".... what gives? Are we next?

Is town hall related to meetings intimating layoff

It's really hard to feel settled at Gainwell anymore. Nobody talks about long term plans like they used to. It's all about how we'll make it to the next month. It's exhausting, to be honest.

What did I miss?

Key people keep leaving or getting shown the door all the time. Morale is in the gutter and the energy here is completely dead. You can feel it walking in every morning. Nobody trusts that things will be stable from one week to the next, not to mention month or year.

Did anyone hear of layoffs in Optum for tomorrow 2/26? Just had a 15 min meeting invite added to my calendar for tomorrow morning.

interesting .. my wife and her team ( total 9 people) under SVP had an team call today and they been told by SVP to hand off their existing work by March .. What they will do after march is unknown. probably need to search a job now? they already laid around 50% of her team this February.

I’ve been fine up until today. Super nervous
How’s everyone feeling about tomorrow? Very stressful

Heard of a few people being let go. Just wondering if there was a big layoff or only about 5 to 10 people.

Anyone have any insight to the fate of those that started at landmark, then HBMC and now Optum at Home (OAH)? SO much has been cut, not much left..has the feeling that everyone will be RIFd by EOY..any intel??
