There are only a few and a lot of us who were told to do it. I'm not sure if I should even bother.

If you get offered a role, but don't accept, would you no longer be eligible for severance?
Assuming you need the income, you should be applying to both internal and external roles aggressively. It really is not that difficult to apply to new roles. Getting an interview, nailing the interview, and a job offer is the hard part. Anyone pretending that they spent tons of time applying to internal roles is exaggerating.
That being said, Comcast is currently quite volatile. I'm sure more changes will be coming once the decision makers discuss the options in front of them. I speculate a merger or acquisition myself. Time will tell on how long that will take and whether or not more cuts will come before either of those two things happen.
Yeah, I was told that EXACT same thing. I ended up wasting 3 months chasing those positions (instead of looking for my next role) and they ended up eliminating those roles as well. I wasted a massive amount of very valuable time on that statement. IMO, run like he-l and find a more stable company.
Might as well if you want to stay. You have zero chance if you don’t apply.
@OP dont get your hopes up. they're usually already earmarked for someone they want in the role.
After going through this last year and applying to multiple internal roles. I can tell you that they have already earmarked those roles for people that they want or who are their friends. I got beat out by someone who was affected months earlier and had zero experience in the work that was going to be done. Whereas I was already doing the work that that new role was going to be doing.
Comcast is dying, get out while you can. Take the severance and locate a new job/industry and then get double paid. The job market is not easy so you will have a massive challenge ahead of you.
Good luck and may the odds ever be in your favor.
Only 105 jobs open in Philly and most in HR or finance, depends on your skillset. I’m sure more will open up near EOY
should be a easy decsion. do you need a job? if you can survive without i guess dont reapply. But why not apply, you could always not take it if offered.
Yes. Especially if someone told you to reapply. Last year I was encouraged to do so when my role was eliminated and was retained under the new role.
Speaking from experience, those roles are typically already earmarked for friends.
@OP What gives you the impression that it may not be worth your time or effort?
