Anyone heard anything about the design, and Asbuilt footprint? East and west just went through a huge reorg not that long ago..
@a3 Yes it would change things lmao. I've been at big companies with massive layoffs, through mergers and acquisitions where people wouldn't be sure who gets to stay or who was considered duplicate, etc, this all seems really unorganized and the longer the window where someone could be laid off is - there have been rumors for weeks and the first cuts happened last Wednesday - the less work gets done because people are are paranoid about being let go and morale is in the toilet.
If there was one blast email last week, CEO's letterhead, saying the percentage of cuts, whole company wide impact, how it was structured (it started last week and we don't even know when this wave will stop, let alone what is going to happen with the rumors about Q1/Q2 2027), taking at least a little bit of ownership of the situation there'd at least be less confusion and less panic. I'm not even suggesting they own that they got us into this mess - just that they own this process. But this company seems completely allergic to top down communication - see the RTO policy where people say we've been at 4 days for quarters, others have been 2-3 because they thought that was correct. It's HR's call apparently but I never got an email from the head of HR with what the numbers actually are. Why is that? Seems like it would alleviate the confusion.
Like people are refreshing this page on their phones in the cafe on 27 and there are VPs and directors whispering about "checking badge expiration dates to maybe get a hint", this whole thing is a clusterfu-k.
So the earnings call said they are going to spend a billion in restructuring costs. That’s your layoffs, etc.
Comcast is very stealth on the layoffs.
Executive director tells us CI and Headend Ops will be further cut. Most of the CI people rig bids and take expensive gifts in exchange for million dollar projects and don’t really work, they let the contractors do it. Good riddance. Headend isn’t much better they turn blind eye to employees engaged in unethical behaviors. Sad to see people lose jobs but it has been a long time coming.
@a2 what are the rumors there if any?
What exactly do folks think there is to know? You are either getting laid off, or you are not. The notifications are happening, and you’ll know soon enough. Moving the timeline forward or backward doesn’t change the message - just need to let it unfold.
If there was some big announcement letting people know layoffs are happening, would it change anything? No… we already know that they are.
@OP Just found out that tomorrow is when details will be shared here in the Twin Cities Comcast footprint
