Because they hire based off business needs. Iv seen them hire contractors then lay them off in 6 months. It's a cold reality we have to deal with.
All job reqs were frozen on Monday, no one is getting hired or moving until this is over unless their team has special permission. If they do have permission they probably aren't being cut.
The question isn't whether you're safe where you are or where you're going, the question is whether you have the information necessary to make an informed decision for your family and career.
If the answer is no, what you have is an organizational problem which your current and even future position will not fix. Then ask yourself if staying at comcast is safe with how in the dark you're left.
This is what makes the whole thing feel so much worse than a normal reorg.
People are making real career decisions.
They are accepting offers, leaving stable teams, moving into new roles, meeting new managers, and starting onboarding.
They assume an approved req means someone has actually thought through whether the job will exist.
Meanwhile, the transformation decisions may already be happening several layers above them.
Maybe the hiring manager genuinely has no idea.
Maybe HR doesn't know.
Maybe the target org is still changing by the day.
None of those explanations should make anyone feel confident about how workforce planning is being handled right now.
