Wishing for layoff
Honestly I'm so disgusted with my boss and this company, I would rather them lay off at this point. My boss is a real piece of work forcing me to make unobtainable goals. I hate her. I want out of this company and I want to be able to collect unemployment. I went on leave in part to get away from the dysfunction but also cause the depression caused by this job is just too much.
How can I get fired deliberately??
How are y'all doing it? I have had enough so appreciate the feedback.
Just give me my severance
All I want is my severance....I am not interested in staying. I will do my best while I am here but just cut me.
Is there anybody who's hoping to stay?
Seems like more people are praying for voluntary or involuntary layoffs than for them not to happen.
Will I get another chance at severance before year's end?
I really want out with a package.
Everyone wants out
The funny thing is that the one thing we all seem to agree on is that we'd rather not be here. That's probably not the kind of teamwork leadership was hoping for.
I am officially checked out
At this point, whatever happens, happens. For about a year now my manager has been slowly cutting me out, from questioning why I'm in meetings to giving opportunities I asked for to newer coworkers. I used to get furious about it, but I've realized staying angry is only hurting me. I've put in years of hard work here, and I'm finally done letting their behavior consume me.
I don't recognize this job anymore
I was genuinely happy to work here when I started, and now I can't wait to get away from it. The constant pressure and threats have completely worn me down.
I am completely worn out
I'm stressed, exhausted, and so fed up with everything right now. I want to leave, but I have bills and responsibilities that don't give me that option.
Please lay me off tomorrow God
Wearing my pajamas inside and praying tonight that I’m so blessed to be laid off. Please please please
What does it take to get let go from this place (with severance)?!?
Like do they let anyone and everyone keep working here?
We can't take this anymore...
We want out and we want severance
Sunday scaries strikes again
I want to vomit. The only thing I would miss from this job is the cell phone
If you've got any skills at all, get out
I can't say this strongly enough: if you have any skills, any talent, any ambition...leave this place. It's a dumpster fire that will only drag you down. Get out and don't look back.
To those who incessantly complain about this place
You have the opportunity to do something good for those that wish to stay. Talk to your manager and put yourself forward to be on the list and get a package. Or just keep talking about how you want to leave. Your choice
The six-month lesson
I lasted just over six months at CDW. The red flags were there from the start, from disrespectful culture, to no innovation, to managers who couldn't manage. I stopped caring how it would look on my resume. I needed out. More power to the people who can handle this place, but that's not me.
Something to consider

I'm honestly hoping to be laid off
No empty talk, no posturing. If they offered me a package, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Fifteen years ago, I joined the company of my dreams. Today, it's the one of my nightmares and I can't wait to find a way out.
Cisco work life balance
Why are people in their 40s looking to get out of Cisco? I am told Cisco has a very chill environment and people are happy to work there. I am seeing posts here on people voluntarily leaving and it’s scaring me, as I am currently looking to join the company. Do you guys still recommend Cisco?
Massive Exodus out of Cisco
5 people left our team in the last 2 months. Everyone else is looking for new jobs. It’s becoming genuinely concerning, seems like a race on who’s going to get out first.
What a cr-p company
Right when you think it cannot get more ridiculous they prove you wrong. I dont want to quit in this market but the moment I find anything comparable I am out of this stinker. My manager is still asking us for project updates like she thinks anything matters. Such an incompetent woman in tech.
The stress is suffocating
The leadership is driving this company into the ground. I know people say the grass isn't always greener, but at this point, I'm not sure it could be worse. I just need a way out, even if it comes with less pay. I don't give a damn anymore.
How's employee morale elsewhere?
I feel like my team has hit rock bottom. Every single person is looking for something else. Everyone.
Living in fight-or-flight
I can't remember the last time I felt calm at work. Every time my phone buzzes, I brace myself for bad news. Every meeting invite makes my stomach drop. I catch myself holding my breath during leadership emails. It's not just stress, it's a constant state of low-grade panic. I know I can't keep living like this, but I don't know how to turn the volume down. I'm starting to realize that leaving might be the only way to get my head back above water.
A NEW DAY
It’s a new day and I still don’t feel any better about a late 2027 separation date. I feel I have made a HUGE mistake taking the VSP and it’s definitely time to move on.
Leave
Get out while you can
It's so boring
Working for optum is so boring and mundane even being in a role that's supposed to require compentecy HA. Can someone from HR locate me via vpn and put me off the next layoff pleaseeeeeeeeee. I hate my life here ! There's a ton of people stressed about layoffs that NEED their jobs. Lay me offffff you tards
It's kind of funny if you think about it
Most of the people already working here are trying to escape. Yet somehow, people are still applying. I honestly can't figure out what would make someone want to join this mess. It's a mystery to me.
Who's job hunting?
Who's actively looking for a new job? I know some people are planning to stay no matter what, but I'm guessing that's not most of us.
Just going through the motions
I don't know if I'll get laid off or find something else first, but either way I'm out of here. Hard to find motivation when you know you're leaving.
Wondering about the future
I've been thinking about whether staying here long-term is even realistic anymore. Everywhere I look, people are just going through the motions until they find a way out. New people, old people, it doesn't really matter. The consensus seems to be that Schwab is in decline and nobody should be pinning their future on it. Maybe that's for the best.
Don't wait until it's too late
I know it's tempting to wait and see what happens, but finding work is way easier when you're not desperate. This place is going nowhere fast, so why stick around?
What positions are they slashing
I applied for the VSP but I'm in a Service Coordinator role where each of us manages upwards of 200-400 cases. Will they accept us? What will happen to those cases? Not that I really give a sht I'm just worried I won't get accepted bc it's a broken fcked up system. I need OUT of that hellscape
A complete shift in how I feel
It's amazing how quickly things can change. I used to genuinely love my job. I was excited to do it, and I felt good about what I was doing. Now I spend most of my time thinking about how to get out. I just want a way out.
Layoffs are coming
I hope I’m a part of this layoff. When you have people like me who have been around for 14 years wishing that they will be Riffed it should paint a picture of how toxic this place is. Let this 12 year old VP enjoy her toxicity and all her a.. kissing useless sr directors.
5 stages of grief
Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance.
I have gone through all of them.
At this point, I am going to sit back, get myself some popcorn, and watch this sh-t show go down.
Even if I am no longer with Centene in the next several months, I will continue to follow this saga, simply for learning and entertainment purposes.

EA Surplus
Please, please surplus me today🙏
After six months, I finally have an offer
Almost gave up. Fingers crossed, everyone, please. I'm so demoralized here that getting out is about saving my sanity now. Hard to believe I was once excited to work here.
I couldn't care less about this job or this company
I gave up hoping it would ever get better, or that my role would see any meaningful improvement or progression. I just hope the job market improves in the foreseeable future so we can all find better options. One thing I'm sure of - I will never work for a big corporation again, if I can help it.
