Seems like they had very little impact

Having seen the posts throughout my LinkedIn feed, this question is very tone-deaf. I've started counting how many people are posting they were laid off (I was impacted but will not be posting since I don't want to risk the job search that's underway) and MANY (dozens if not hundreds) were specifically marked as working for Comcast Business (which was one of the only portions of the business that's growing). So if we take Comcast's math of less than 1K in the US (bullsh*t), and an estimate of at least 100 from CB, then yes, we were pretty severely impacted as a function/business unit.
@OP Lots of leaders lost in CB. In general, you are not going to see VPs post a s-b story on LinkedIn. They are networking privately for their next role.
@bw I don’t understand the logic of this either. It is their moneymaker and we are constantly busy and pretty stretched. I can’t speak for those in smaller regions, but I do understand that even they were not cut.
Yes CB had cuts I am one of them
@bv then you live in a cave and are out of touch with the rest of your CB coworkers .. lots of loss yesterday.
Yes, CB was hit, despite being one of the profitable areas of the business.
No one was cut, I'm a senior business account exec.
Hit big time from all levels but I’m genuinely surprised at which regions stayed on and which ones didn’t though
Yes, we were hit hard. My team was halved on the first round and that happened again. My LinkedIn has been blowing up so I'm not sure where that statement comes from.
@b4 which analytics don't they have a ton
Yes and we were hit HARD. The cuts on my team were about 30-40% and I was one of them.
I know many teams were trimmed in 2023 and never fully recovered headcount. That being said CB Product, Sales, process and analytics teams were hit and some groups disbanded.
@a3 not true, don't see anything on LinkedIn
1/2 the Veeps are out.
