Learned of a significant round of layoffs in CONNECT, affecting more than 100 employees. The cuts reportedly include at least two VPs and several Directors (ED, SD, and D levels). Leadership has already been informed, while lower-level employees are expected to be notified tomorrow and Wednesday.

Communications have started going today. Lots of layoffs at the VP level, and reorgs too
@d1 lol thats totally bizarre. I see one of his close accomplice (an SVP) is also out, most probably he too must have gone.
@c6 don’t know if true, but I heard a rumor that he flew to Israel to vote instead of being with the team. Sounds bizarre to me.
And the CNO is OOO for the past 2 days in this uncertain situation. Quite bizarre. Any idea which of the VPs and Directors are impacted?
@b3 who's going to run all the architecture review boards now? Who's going to write all these architecture design proposals in markdown, and who's going to approve the PR without actually reviewing anything?
Not surprised at all by this one of the biggest bureaucratic messes with a bunch of tickets and paper being pushed around instead of work being done
I know of a software developer in Connect that was let go yesterday as well.
Thank you for letting us know and so sorry to hear about the folks who lost thier jobs. If anyone from connect is reading this. Your skills matter and you matter, I know this is hard right now, but this shall pass too, you’ll find something great.
Not to be insensitive but I would expect 100s of connect layoffs. Literally 300-500 its just not an area of the biz it seems that Comcast wants to invest in any more
