Heard whispers about November or December

@cd that's the thing. They didn't ask for volunteers instead they had a third party make the final decisions based on who knows what. They certainly didn't take skills or reviews into account.
Sure I know plenty of people that would have gladly jumped ship but instead we cut those who actually cared and knew how to do their job. Now we will be left with individuals who can walk at any point due to burnout from not wanting to be here or not being skilled enough to take on the tasks.
@fb fu-ken right.
@ex you're right about one thing, I don't expect people to be rational and at least this site is meeting expectations in that regard.
Call someone who cares. You’re on a site called TheLayoff, filled with people whose livelihoods were upended by decisions completely outside their control. Did you really expect everyone to be rational and cheerful? Unfortunately, your opinions have been eliminated. GTFO with your delusional expectations.
@dt then quit, it sends a clear message to leadership when there is a mass exodus of staff that they didn't originate. Clearly, you and all of the other really unhappy people on this board don't realize this. You think sh-t like this helps, it doesn't.
Also, for the person who said I am "defending" the layoffs, I am not. I am just matching the absurdity that I see posted here but in the opposite direction. There is usually good info posted here but holy sh-t, the amount of people thinking 30-80% of the staff is going to get cut next week, the week after, or by spring is beyond delusional. Yes there will be more layoffs, they are a reality at any company right now. You can either accept it/prepare for it or you can be blindsided when it happens.
@cd you are a clueless individual! It has nothing to do with dead weight and everything to do with poor leadership at the top and a very poor customer service reputation. These are the reasons Comcast is in a downward spiral and nothing they do can reverse it.
@bd clearing out more dead weight isn't a bad thing. Plenty of people here are unhappy and would welcome it.
@at This guy is on almost every post defending the layoffs. Have some shame! Are you the owner of the company, or are you just another employee like everyone else? Instead of blindly defending these decisions, try showing some empathy for the people losing their jobs. Tomorrow, you could be in their position too.
Don’t behave like you own the company..
Yep, they will layoff 150% of their work force on February 31st next year!
@a3 I don't think there's more this year but the one coming before the split might be massive 40-60%
Federal Law requires 60 days notice for mass layoffs. The reason we were notified when we were notified with end date of Dec 31st. Unlikely to have more layoff announced this year. I’d bet money they we will see more layoffs next year before the split of Comcast and NBCUniversal.
