Thread regarding Comcast layoffs

@102

Ugh. Sorry. Good luck.

Got my notice today at “manager 1” level so think it’s up to individual teams when they let folks know. Official email goes out on Thursday.

Bumping this to the top of active posts

@a4 di we have an update on the escalations, routing quota teams?

Update?

"Talent/HR was Yesterday tomorrow"

Having trouble parsing what these words mean here

@b4 That breakdown matches how corporate restructuring actually rolls out. Top-down cascade ordering is non-negotiable because leadership must be locked in before cuts happen beneath them, regardless of which day HR bandwidth allows for individual teams. But at the EOD, none of this is our fault; it's a direct result of senior leadership's failure, so I hope everyone gives their team members and direct managers grace, as they are on the chopping block too.

It's not as accurate as everyone thinks. This may be true in some orgs but in others, it's any VP level on Fri. Also, which days of the week a team announces their ED and below, is up to that team and how they manage it. It also depends on how many HR partners are available. There will not be many available at all. The volume is too large.

But the reason it works in this order is if you have a leader who is cut, the new leader has to make the cuts below the departing leader. Or the next layer up does. Point is, you can't start at the bottom.

Many are also forgetting that some orgs are getting absolutely gutted. Many will find out by email, video call, etc.

Earnings call will reveal a high level company structure visual
Friday is *VP day
Mon is official email from CEO/COO on new structure and probable new roles announced.
Mon to Wed is everyone else who is participating in face to faces and or video or phone calls.
Thurs is automated emails and package details.
You're done 60 days from your official notice. Do the math.

Welcome to the Jungle

what about the contractors?

Regional employee here and can confirm this is the same timeline my VP’s were given today

Let the annual Comcast Hunger Games begin! May the odds be ever in your favor.

@an only if they choose to dismantle the team. Team could go to another leader. They shuffled around a bunch of CX teams after last year's re-org

@am if the SVP goes does the entire team go?

@ak not from termination, no. However they do have provisions granting them protections either in severance, RSUs, etc.

Which SVPs? Aren't they protected

Out of everything on these boards, this is 100% accurate based on all the folks spilling the tea with me.

@ag the irony is it looks like a typical AI summary

comcast rules the top lists for layoffs:

The "dynamic dispatch" is literally in the middle of a transition that will not be complete for some time supposedly.

This is confirmed. Interesting that they’re starting at the top and working their way down. Makes me think this is more about restructuring entire organizations and management layers than just individual cuts. If that timeline is accurate, next week is going to be a lot.

Can confirm that this lines up with what I’ve been told.

@OP WARBFI

@a5 I usually just say grunts since I'm one of them. Wanted to be specific this time.

This schedule is 100% accurate. Good luck to you all.

@a5 still lower on the org chart.

Any word on Corp or Op Legal?

Quota, routing, and FTC has had the writing on the wall for awhile now. Earlier this year they introduced Ai driven dynamic dispatch and we all pretty much knew it was over for them. I’m hoping not but they got a louder warning than most will this year I’m sure

Uh huh

@a4 “lower people” is disrespectful considering we do a lot of the grunt work for this company.

And the lower people? Retention, escalations, routing, quota, tlc, ecm?

There's no way they all are untouched by this.

can’t wait. we should all walk out Tuesday.
