If your MSID suddenly gets shut down, your account is locked, and you can no longer access company systems, you might want to start preparing for a layoff. It could be a security incident or an administrative mistake, but when everything happens at once, it’s hard not to wonder whether your employment is about to be terminated. Don’t jump to conclusions just yet—but don’t ignore the signs either.

@101 Well said. Our ESRO team is a bunch of losers. Always running after the most useless sh-t making everyone's life hard. No wonder we're breached all the time.
esro team su-ks
Security seems to pick and choose what it considers a threat. The whole house could be burning down, and they wouldn't see a problem. But the moment a tiny letter shifts on the wall, suddenly it's a major security incident. Their priorities are completely misplaced.
Complete incompetence
So my account back working today, but my computer doesnt function.
Is this pushing people towards resignation?
@x9 yep got a voicemail from them
I heard accounts getting enabled now. Helpdesk may help us now.
@vq same. Idk how pay works when its the security team just disabling people's accounts. Are we on a forced sabbatical tf
Following the massive February 21, 2024, ransomware attack by the BlackCat/ALPHV hacking group, Change Healthcare deliberately shut down its own networks to isolate the threat. As a result, its primary computer systems and account portals stood locked and offline for several weeks to several months, depending on the specific application.
So expect similar. They are incompetent people remember that.
it will be months before you hear anything. polish your resume.
Any new update here? My login is not fixed..
@qp as long as you're not the highest paid you should be good
Spoke with IT about my lack of access and they couldn’t help me…. Sounds like tomorrow may be my day after all… after looking at the team I’m 11/22 in terms of performance, middle man…..
@p5 it's hard not to be with this place. When you pair incompetence, AI, & repeated layoffs, you have no fu--ing clue when you'll have a job or what will make them lay you off. It's a rat race.
I did call the help desk the moment I couldn't log in....and they were completely useless. They didn't even know my account was disabled until I told them to check.
And then I contacted my teammates and manager. Both confirmed my account was disabled. This all happened the day the Github breach happened last Tuesday.
Actually my manager escalated this to upper leadership but our incompetent security team still has no ETA, no update, no nothing. Its been a week now.
I assume its the same case for everyone else who've gotten their MSID disabled.
This just su-ks to be stuck in limbo like this not knowing what the end result will be.
Incompetence at the highest level. Don’t even bother calling IT support. You’ll likely end up speaking with someone from Philippines or India who has no real understanding of computer basics and is unable to provide any meaningful technical assistance.
Have managers or IT said anything about it?
Tried to log into my account today and nothing will work
Call the helpdesk? Man, some of y'all are super paranoid.
Did this happen for anyone else working in housecalls?
@jw everyone cannot fall in missing contact info category . Account got locked for more than 100 employees and all are in same category.
wild guess, but your contact info is not up to date and they couldn't get a hold of you to inform you of RIF so they termed your account
@ds I did, no access to any of my mobile devices or the accounts
@hq me too. Still no info yet. It's been 6 days so far.
Anyone heard more on this topic? I m also impacted but no idea what is going on with my id.
This is partial BS and here’s why: when you are laid off you get two weeks of pay without having to work (unless you are mandated to work and if you are and don’t then you can lose your severance) but leaders also have a choice to strip you of all your access and terminate you immediately or let the two weeks run its course. I only terminated someone’s access immediately because they told me during the call that they were going to message our customers and tell them how she really felt about them.
No. You're not locked out until you receive notice of layoff. Now if you're fired for misconduct that would be another thing
BS, you are not locked out of the network.
How many people got their account suddenly disabled?
Insane how there's no update whatsoever.
Security team is a joke.
I was laid off. This is not how it worked. You receive at least two weeks - you are not obligated to work the full two weeks. Accounts are active until that date, however laptop may be locked after term date. It takes over a month to send back the laptop. I would not look too much into this.
Yeah....I've had occasional login issues....and for a split second I've thought.. "Is this the day".... and my reaction is elation. Yes guys, I'm ready.
Doubt it!! Termination is triggered just as you’re in the “call”. If you are given 2 weeks to get a suitable replacement, it will be delayed. It’s a automated script.
