Are you going to still stick around?

@c2 Careful, your corporate mask is slipping. Being a hater in 2026 is a choice.
I anticipate quarterly workforce reductions going forward, along with significant change once Angelakis steps into his role in January. Plan for announcements at the end of January covering role changes, team changes, and further staff reductions, with another round at the end of June. This is purely speculative, but it would be consistent with the pattern of providing 30-60 days’ notice ahead of changes.
As for whether you should stay, the prudent approach is to remain as long as you reasonably can in order to collect any RSU payouts, while in parallel updating your resume and beginning to apply elsewhere. In the current market, it may take 6-12 months to secure another position.
I genuinely don’t know. Especially with more layoffs looming over us in the spring. I also have no idea what the actual vision is for the company anymore and I don’t think leadership does either. Are we being dismantled and sold off for parts? Are we actually still trying to grow? It doesn’t seem like growth is the goal.
I'm getting the heck out now. Even if you wait to be laid off to get the admittedly nice severance package, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to find a new job before the last check clears. The best time to look for a new job is when you still have a job.
I agree with the others - this place does not exude "big tech company" energy. There's too many leaders who caused this disaster still entrenched in the upper echelons of the company like particularly thirsty but stupid ticks. If they could successfully lead a tech company, we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
@am Really, the writing was on the wall 6 months ago when my competent leaders (15+ year veterans) started finding “other opportunities”. They saw no future here and got out.
@c0 Infinity Stone Resume. Really? We all know what happened to Thanos (twice)! 🤣
I was laid off yesterday. My VP, not my manager, led the call (which says a lot), and HR was there. It's a blessing for me because the way they are moving and their attempt to be a "tech" company is a joke, as someone who's worked at 4 tech companies. I like that most of them have known about these layoffs for months, so I have been interviewing since mid-September. I'll keep doing great work; this is just a resume builder and another name on my infinity stone resume.
Not impacted this round, but I did lose multiple great leaders in my org chart, including my direct manager. I am planning to start job hunting after the new year in anticipation of potentially being laid off in the March or June layoff waves.
I like working for Comcast and don't want to leave, but the writing is on the wall.
Yep, not going anywhere until they cut me. Hard enough to find a job out there.
After this sla-ghter I’m willing to bet many will be VERY hesitant to ever take a roll in leadership.
HQ here - dropping the anchor and doing literally nothing from here on out.
Absolutely not.
I've stayed after past layoffs for my own reasons, but I'm so damn tired of dealing with this every year. If I survive, I can afford to be picky until the next round comes up, so I'm going to be very choosy where and what I apply for based on pay, industry growth, and stability. I will be checking those companies' layoff boards before applying and I know I want the he-l out of telecom.
Are you kidding? When/if the opportunity presents itself - i will be gone. Even for less money. This company is sinking fast. Dont be the one to turn the lights off.
Yes, I still love this company.
No
I have an interview on Thursday. Willing to take a small cut to abort myself.
I won’t be searching but I can’t say I won’t take a look here and there. The job market isn’t great and this job thankfully will still be paying the bills. If I see an opportunity, I am going to go for it though absolutely. Loyalty means nothing to employers anymore and you experience only matters to the next employer when it comes to pay. At the end of the day they don’t care about you, do what is best for you and your family.
My manager that I really liked was let go , I appreciate the fact that I still have a job . I will just do my work and go home. Don’t care if I have to go to office five days a week . So sorry for everyone that were let go today.
I believe it all depends on the offer from the next opportunity. For me, if its more than 5+ months salary, then I will take the offer. But it's so hard to find such in the current job market. So I stay until they kick me out.
Understand - not the best option, but maybe I am lazy.
Are others thinking the same?
i'll stay as i like my mgr and my team. if they go, i go. i could care less what's happening on the exec level and what strategies play. i am so low in the packing order that it really does not matter what i think, i just do my work and go home. i am sorry for people who put in decades of work and getting the shaft now, but for me personally the company is just a faceless corporation with shareholders / management trying to extract from us as much as they can for the dollar they pay us. so, yeah, i'd stay.
