If we heard nothing about layoffs so far today, I doubt we'll hear anything for the rest of the day. Another false alarm, I think.

@OP small RIF sprinkling every Thursday. Big ones last or second to last Thursday of the month which falls the week without a payday.
RIFs usually coincide with pay periods. Announcement is last Thursday of a pay period and final day is the Friday/last day of the immediately following pay period. This makes a clean full-period last pay check (plus severance).
10/23 is a payday, 10/29 will be the big RIF for the month. Hearing people telling managers to "put in for the next one" and confirmation the last work day is in first half November.
Yes, you were wrong. Stop stoking fear.
@en it's much easier for payroll.
@ed you think this company cares if it pay week?
@eb it’s pay week they don’t do that
@eb you think it'll be before the 29th given the schedule they generally follow?
Think we survived this week but next week doesn’t look too promising
@aj
Hiring??? Yeah hiring offshore people that’s what.
@at I’m not in your area but if I could’ve written this myself, I would have! I love what I do, love my team members, and love my facilities! We all have great relationships and that’s what is going to make this hard. Not knowing how the decision is going to be made is the hard part. I am good at what I do, but I am also extremely realistic that it may not matter and that absolutely everyone is replaceable.
I’m so nervous. I’m a care coordinator in Missouri, KC area and I absolutely love what I do. I love engaging and helping facilities meet the needs of the members. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. I’m sad. I’m worried. We have the best team in KC. We are so appreciative of each other. Hoping for the best for everyone! 🧡 💚
Big layoffs happened already, right sizing or however you want to phrase it. Normal churn and small RIFs will still happen but there's no single massive one on the horizon
We're hiring
@a3 No, but others who have not been laid off but know those who have usually do.
@a3 I've seen some that do, but fingers crossed there weren't any today
Im sure most people when they get laid off their first thought is not to go blast it on the internet
