I was severed, last day end of the year. It is amazing how many people in my department think they are safe. Maybe its just coping at its finest. They are next, department still way too bloated.

what org you in? everyone in mine knows there will be a next one.
@aa they sla-ghtered their golden goose and wonder why it’s not laying any more eggs.
Not at all.
No, it has been constant existential fear and dread all around. Every year they cut people, and every year they say it's the last for a while. Outsiders say Comcast is imploding, but we know the truth that it is decomposing.
I feel like if Comcast gets sold I'll be laid off
@aq hope you’re doing okay… probably tough now, but you will come out better in the long run… yeah it almost doesn’t matter what the specific package is… it’s more how bad the environment was and is… and that the executive know they are not done
@ae the severance i got was based, a week per year. I was just a p-e-on so I got whatever I was told. Last year would have been better for me. Regardless, it is much better than nothing.
Everyone left knows they aren't safe from lay offs until they are laid off. However, you can't dwell on it every day. Plan and prepare for it, be ready but don't let it ruin your days.
No. Everyone knows there’s more layoffs in Q1. Just check essbase… while it may su-k for those who got cut this round.. there is a chance they got the best packages were all going to be forced to accept in the next few months
I don’t feel safe at all. Most employees likely won’t. That’s a desired effect of how they wanted this round to feel, rest assured. They don’t want to have to pay us severance and they want us gone for cheaper or no replacements. I will be aggressively pursuing other employment next year. Corp>TPX>Entertainment perspective here and I’m sure it applies elsewhere. Comcast is no longer a safe place to work. Not even for top performers. I say give them what they want, there is no fighting the gravity and there’s no reason to waste your skills. Move on. Leadership have fumbled the bag of gold. It’s done.
HAHA No not at all. Everyone I talk to, including myself, are just waiting for the second, third, forth wave to hit. And in the meantime we are not volunteering for anything, doing the bare minimum and just waiting for that package to land. Why be loyal to a place that has proven it has no strategy, loyality, and will dispose of people at a whim.
As a Senior Leader I am encouraging my folks to do the minimum, take what they can and be prepared to be pushed out. Anyone else who thinks otherwise is just blind and illprepared for that 15 minute "business update" meeting to hit their calendar.
Which department? Details or will assume you're a troll
