Thread regarding Comcast layoffs

@a9 you will receive your Q4 bonus and 2026 annual bonus. Your unvested RSUs and Options are gone, kaput, zilch, in the wind. That’s why they did this now, to “save” on paying out the RSUs in Feb/March.

Rumor is this round of severance is significantly worse than in years past. Comcast deliberately selected employees for elimination, gave little explanation beyond restructuring, and may now be offering substantially less severance, all right before the holidays. This group is getting royally sc--wed.

@af woah 😳

@af sorry to hear and good luck in job search. what was your base?

@af that’s it? F&hK

Analyst. 13 years with company only 13 weeks severance

I have lost access to everything. No workday or email. They said my last day would be December 31st. and then the severance package would kick in. Is this what happened to most of you? Also, did they say anything about the bonuses or RSUs?

If they follow the timeline from last year’s layoffs then you won’t get your package until after Thanksgiving. And you won’t get the real one you can sign until the second half of December. The only thing you’ll get before then is a letter saying you should expect to get around X number of weeks of severance pay. Or pay continuance as HR calls it.

@a2 The same happened to me. It’s a good question and nothing has been shared. Woke up and select programs didn’t work.

@a1 same

@a2 information security. All personal email sites are blocked. If you try to email your personal email from your work email it gets blocked and has to be approved to send by IT. Makes it a nightmare for most of us that had personal items on our work laptops

OP, no I haven’t seen anything come through yet.

A1, If you’re here through 12/31, why would they revoke your access to all of those systems?

Not yet, we lost all access today no VPN, no Google, no ServiceNow. The only lifelines left are ComcastNow and Workday.
