10/26 Layoffs Tracker - Let’s keep everything in one place rather than 20 different threads. Post information you’ve heard/experienced here. Please be detailed (anonymously of course) if possible, IE position, region, etc.
Good luck to everyone today.
@as from past layoffs, our team in divisions was permitting to work remotely until their severance date (or when they finished transitioning their items). Assuming that may be the same here. But don’t have that confirmation transparently
@as That is what I have heard from others as well.
Any rumors on Frontline construction and engineering?
@a3 SVPs were Friday. VPs today and some directors
@an I guess. He didn’t elaborate further.
A software developer I work with was just laid off. He’s getting 16 weeks of severance because of his pay grade. Odd part, his badge expires Thursday but they told him he was on the payroll until 12/31 then he gets severance. I don’t think he’s got that part right, though.
At CC a SVP in Content sent a departure note.
Heard in CTC elevator a Dir2 of Program Managment saying goodbye.
@af “Peeps so far, did notice 15 or so new job postings on 10/26 in India.”
This is very sad and disappointing to hear while everyone else is struggling.
@OP 30 layoff post topic threads in 24 hours, that is insane! Comcast employees need to get together and figure out a way to have one single thread that will give out all the info.
Does this mean they aren't allowed to enter the building after Thursday despite being employed until end of the year?
@af wow! :/
I am in Entertainment Platform (Engineering). I know of one Director and two other (I think) Directors who were notified today. They all are long time employees.
Their badge is good until Thursday and they are employees until 12/31.
@OP let us all stay focused to the intention of this thread. Anyone of us hears anything concrete, shall post the update here so we all know whts going on today... let's avoid deviating from the topic... good luck everyone
Peeps so far, did notice 15 or so new job postings on 10/26 in India.
Good idea. Please update this thread when you hear anything folks, our leadership is too incompetent to be upfront and playing games this is where my team learns anything first
I finished my self evals but I’m not submitting them until 11:59pm cause I’m tired of my manager just copy pasting my sh-t.
@aa our manager was lazy as he-l and used our accomplishments from our self evals when interviewing for the newly posted roles. Thank God he didn’t get a job though.
@a7 maybe the 20% who actually did the work. I have found Comcast is full of dead weight accumulated over the years from lazy management and HR not dealing with it. As for management my experience has also been the opposite. Too many leaders linger for too long without any real accountability.
@a9 I had always submitted my reviews as early as possible, until a few years ago I found out that my manager was using MY review to write his own. Since then I wait until the end of the last day to submit mine.
@a8 I was laid off last year and I felt like my self evaluation was used by those remaining as a roadmap to take credit for what I’d done. But that’s how Comcast works and what they reward. So I agree with you waiting.
@a6 This is why I’m waiting until later in the week to do my “self evaluation.” Maybe I won’t have to. 😒
@a6 this is the comment. Get out now. The people are what made this company great. Even through years of bad press and verbal attacks in public if someone learned you work here, our team mates kept me inspired. Leaders cared for us and we united to do the right thing for our subscribers. We were proud to do it. New leadership has come on in the past year and it's clear they have and want to gut this company.
@a3 There have been several comments on this board that have laid out that timeline. I think the number of people confirming it means that's what we can expect, though I think the "and everyone else" will be from Tuesday till the end of the week. We shouldn't relax until we get to next Monday, and even then if you've survived and still have a job, you're a fool if you're not putting out resumes. This place doesn't care about the employees anymore.
@a2 that's wild. Just pick one. Eenie meanie money mo... Or however it's spelled.
So far, nothing added to my calendar. HQ Analyst 4.
Rumor has it, it's leadership today (SVP's, EVP's, etc), and everyone else Tuesday onwards. But who knows.
Have heard all tech ops directors have been instructed to pick one of their managers to let go
