Iv heard there are 2 or 3 more major waves coming in after New Year. They are cutting all depts. Another 15-20% reduction is what my sup is anticipating. Anyone else hearing this?I know after the split we will see major firings.

@as All "new" positions are in Philadelphia too. No longer virtual.
Correct. Three rounds. No confirmed dates.
@ej True enough but think about it . . . I've been there for nearly two decades and there was ALWAYS another round of layoffs coming. It's true . . . .
@ej it's 30% by June
March and July. 15-20%. 40-50%. 9,000+.
Upvote me. Downvote me.
Unless people are truly able to post where they are hearing this from, it's all rumors. Given what everyone just went through in October, it's just as toxic to keep spreading 'MORE LAYOFFS' all over this forum.
If folks have sources for where they are hearing this, say that.
@c2 confirmed .
March and July
I'm hearing 40-50%
@b4 there is no major restructuring, there is no ai strategy, there is no grand vision for the future, there is no innovation. The reason they laid people off (and will continue to) and then posted jobs to replace them is purely about cost structure- get someone at a third the cost to do the same job. They are just slimming things as much as possible so they can get acquired after the split. Buckle up
@as because unlike other companies, Comcast is not laying off people for the monetary benefit only. The first round of layoffs was to prepare for the major restructuring, which usually results in slimming down some areas of the business while beefing up other areas. In the end, it’s no surprise that the total employee count will be a net reduction (excluding split implications).
i guess i don't understand. They just laid off almost 1,000 employees nationwide but then turn around and say there are 1,100 new positions to be posted? Just what would these new positions be? If they are going with AI, why would you need to hire anyone?
It makes no sense.
