Corwin and Donely made it clear - and cuts are already happening! VPs started to advise their teams this week to prepare to be layoff is definitely coming. Working in the corporate office at 466 Lexington; the nervousness of staff is visible from blocks away. Everyone is seen their teams shrink and they might be next.

The Board should act now. Corwin has got to go!
Hi. The cuts are happening and happening everywhere. This is not a clinical vs non-clinical battle. This is the result of years of inattention to a pressing ugly issue (see the lawsuit) that resulted in part from the misguided hierarchical attitude that attendings could do no wrong. Now the wrong is being enacted by leadership frantic to meet the demands of senior leadership who have still not been held accountable for allowing this situation. Instead we are fed a bunk line that bariatric surgeries are down due to Ozempic. (750 million buys a lot of tummy tucks.) Leadership in the corporate side are using this opportunity to score personal vendettas. The place is toxic.
Any layoff at 466 ? Don’t hear anything
Are they still doing layoffs at corporate or was today it?
What is the severance package. Are they offering other job opportunities?
Office staff to be laid off later this week. With no notice! The fat cats have their million dollar salaries, they had protected and covered up for predator MDs yet the office staff is being escorted out to “save money”. What a shame.
4 people in finance were supposedly let go today.
Apparently some lab techs and phlebotomists got let go today.
Get rid of the corporate managers, directors, vps, sr vps, exec vps, they're absolutely useless but make all the $$
Guys please: if you or someone else gets laid off please give your title-location-if you want to share campus (totally respect if certain things you want to keep private) also be there for each other! We are a team!
Asides for the marketing team, does anyone else know who was layed off today? What department/ job title?
Just got laid off! Saw it coming a mile away though.
If the rumor below that some marketing staff have already been let go is true - does anyone know, was it a "pack up your stuff and leave now" situation or were they just notified that they would be out of a job in 30 days (for example)?
A friend told me Marketing and communications had layoffs today. 6 in total. I heard they were not told anything about their severance package. They were told they’d get their next paycheck as normal then after that is when they hear about their severance.
HR does not have severance packages finalized yet and is holding off on layoffs but Devika, the CMO, wanted it done immediately before her vacation begins later this week. From what I was told, that is very on brand of her.
Has anyone heard of any actual layoff yet ? The anxiety level is high.
Used to be a normal place. Unfortunately under Corwin the place gradually has "gone Hollywood" so to speak. Now it's the worst kind of place to work for a regular person.
I hate that we cannot respond to each other here. I’m so down to protest what would
Be the best date and time and clearly the sooner the better because my gut tells me cuts happening tomorrow or Thursday
Well maybe it’s time for NYP employees to unionize? Once these older employees see how they treat their most senior employees they might change their loyalty to their management family members and friends and vote to unionize ,instead of running to them with union information.
Unfortunately, the hospital has been in decline for a number of years due to the decisions, tactics and unresponsiveness of it's HR department. HR was a revolving door of business partners. Compounded by the decisions and tactics of the hospital's lawyers, all placed the hospital in this position. The system is corrupt to accomplish what they want, when they want, how they want, disregarding, manipulating hospital policy and all are very comfortable with being dishonest, all to their benefit. The hospital preaches respect but the inaction, the dishonesty, the corruption all deliver disrespect.
They have terminated employees with anywhere from 10-30 years of service, regardless of work performance, regardless of evaluations, based on a director and VP recommendations.
After termination HR will collaborate; plan and perform every tactic to delay, postpone and prevent grieving the termination - manipulate the grievance process.
There will be much more stories to come out and someone posted that employees should walk out and protest.
A protest would definitely draw the attention of the hospital, and the hospital would not want that type of attention.
A bunch of people have been laid off from different sites. Excuses like low volume have been used to let people go. This is disgustingly and wrong.
Has anyone been layed off yet..?
I am just so stressed from all this . What happened to being an essential worker during covid. Coming and being there for patients. No matter what the position Clinical or administrative we were all there to support the hospital in time of need and how people are going to loose their jobs it's just so unfair!!!!
Reply to :” While I understand your perspective on the potential for administrative redundancies”
I assume you are a VP making $1M or so a year.’
You saying that cutting employees that service patients is more important than cutting administrators.
I never laughed so hard.
I reluctantly left my previous position at another health system to join this hospital, attracted by the promise of a higher salary, the belief that it was an outstanding facility and that I could gain more skills here. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. I often find myself wishing I could return to the other health system.
Once I became both a patient and an employee here, I began to see a different side of things. It turns out that the hospital isn't quite as great as it claims to be, especially concerning the so-called "world-class doctors" it promotes. Every time I've visited a physician here, the experience has felt rushed, and I always noticed that they seemed to be triple-booked because they had to meet some quota.
This raises an important question: why is this happening? I currently work in finance, and there are consistent concerns about the organization losing money in various areas. Additionally, patients are canceling their planned procedures at the hospital to have them done at other places like NYU or Northwell. In my opinion, the underlying issue is their greed and lack of concern for their employees! I'm actively planning my exit in hopes that I don't get laid offed along the way. I'm at the corporate center so everyone is scared shitless!
They own half of the real estate in Washington heights. They have billions in off shore accounts. They are non-profit yet run as a for profit. Idc what the salty administratir who reaponded here. No you are not needed as much as frontline staff. Without nurses, techs, doctors, unit assistants, pharmacy, food service, transport, and environmental services you would have not job. Nurses do the job of 10 people, cut admin jobe amd make them double and triple their work. Dip into your off shore accounts.

Do any one know if they started laying off people ?
Laying off staff from our department literally a year ago to once again to hear and go through it once again. Straight up get rid of the CEO and CFO. Why did the spine center open why are you working on building 1111 white plains? How are you even going to staff that building with no money…. Let alone no one would want to apply knowing NYP continues to lay employees off. At this point we all should not show up this coming week or protest outside our campuses to show them who actually does the work!
Our corporate division at NYP lost just shy of 10% of our colleagues, some with 20+ years of service - meanwhile all the directors and VPs in the group with absurdly bloated salaries and almost nothing to show for their productivity other than shameless career self-promotion managed to evade any cuts.
Absolute slap in the face for the lower tier managers and individual contributors who actually produce work that improves patient care and employee experiences.
I feel like the lawsuits will increase, can’t use favoritism when it comes to laying off employees. Especially though in union, for example 1199 members have a CBA which states if employees are laid off it’s based on seniority. You can’t fire an old employee and keep the new ones based off that agreement but we’ll see what happens
The flys on the wall be telling me -- also they "plan" to open that extremely expensive facility in WP labeled as 1111 by sept---- with what money??????---
When will we find out more information? My director has no idea what’s going on
It came out during the nursing strikes that not 1 but 2 of our executives were part of the top 10 highest paid in the country! Our CEO makes double what the CEO makes in CA with same cost of living! Why don’t they start with cutting some of the fat at the top? We worked understaffed for years so that they could take record-breaking salaries with bonuses! SHAME SHAME SHAME
I heard they’re trying to push out people closer to retirement first. Also heard they’re looking at VP positions as well. (As they should since the VPs just look important but don’t do actual work)
Latest update from upper management as of Fri 5/9/25: the layoffs will be done by Memorial Day, and no more cuts after that.
We need the D.O.G.E to investigate the corruption of senior hospital staff
The reasoning of economic downturn feels like a slap in the face when you find out about the dirty laundry.
NBC News NYP settles s-xual as--ult charges paying 750 million dollars to patients. This is why we are being laid off.
Layoffs are likely due to the $750 Million dollar settlement agreed upon this past Tuesday with the ex OBGYN doctor se-----y as--ulting a patient. The announcement of the layoffs were right on time with the settlement.
