I haven't heard anything myself, but if it happens I think it will be this week. I hate living under this omen of layoffs. The last weeks of September and first of October seem to be a waste while everyone waits to see if it is them this time. I think a lot of people want it to be them so they can just move on.

@3fn yes they do - 8 weeks - some have gotten more - but HR will lie to you.
Does anyone know if they’re still paying out severance for people they lay off, and if so, how much?
Trying to plan ahead in case they get me in the next one.
Did you take a personal day? Take your vacation time? Leave before 6pm at night? Start your shift after 7:00 am? then yes you too are on Jack a's list.
@ry
actually he is not incompetent. Everything that he did was intentional. It made him money.
@100 I won't feel safe until after next week. Don't forget HMH is carrying $2b in debt, 250 million of which is due in April that that they don't seem to be able to restructure or pay. Just Google spglobal and HMH.
Seems like no more layoff this year.
@ra delusional to think that? Or nwea is getting gutted?
Over his tenure Jack has to have been the most incompetent ceo the company has ever seen.
@qe delusional nwea is getting gutted
@OP to anyone let go tomorrow, remember it isn't your fault. The fault lies with the greed of Veritas and the utter mind-blowing incompetence of the Sr. Leadership team.
@n5 ooh that's juicy. source?
NWEA isn’t rocket science. As a core rep, I would love to sell it. Let the core and intervention reps own it. They already have the district relationships and connections anyway. Then maintain a strong renewals team and keep a few true data experts on staff to support the more complex conversations.
There’s no need for all of these separate positions and layers of leadership. I’d have maybe one person overseeing NWEA at the leadership level, but an entire standalone team dedicated to it feels unnecessary and redundant.
Open enrollment starts on the 14th, and they need headcount finalized by then, so I'm guessing tomorrow is the last round. Godspeed, lads.
No one will get work done today waiting for the dreaded 1:1 invite for tomorrow. Hate it here. Morale is at an all time low.
Veritas is reportedly facing challenges securing an extension or renewal of its financing with our specific company, and significant restructuring is said to be on the horizon.
@jq performance suite being moved to “powered by pulse” where’s the need for map? There’s a major disconnect in HMH/NWEA. It’s scary.
@et what makes you think they get rid of nwea?
Our layoffs usually happen on Thursdays.
Easy equation:
Employee Engagement Survey ends + 2 weeks* = Red October
- cannot overlap with annual enrollment or volunteer week
This week or next. They’ll dump more - they have to get rid of heads to make up for their shortfall. Then, they’ll sell off nwea and just have a renewal team. I’m interviewing as much as possible to get out.
@dt yep, if o remember it was mid week the first full week of October.
It was definitely this week last year.
How do you know it will be this week? Was it the same week last year?
