@mn Does it matter? Curious the difference.
@a7 I actually really like this idea. Or event
A nominated department chair for 3 years.
In my opinion, start the conversations now. We have some really great employees and getting the layoff process wrong, will impact culture and brand loyalty. Sending positive thoughts to all.
@am no
@kr are you a direct one through like magnit or one of the vendors?
@ag I'm a contractor and didn't get the email, fwiw.
@am from what I read, if you get laid off after 12/31, you are are still bonus eligible.
@aw seems like 1/1.. but this also seems like a multi year initiative so really great for morale /s
@ar did they say you were safe through 1/1 or through 2027? Those are two distinct differentiations. Also Cigna or Accredo?
@ah IH health results announcement coming this week. Make sure you scores everything 10…. Oh boy..sarcasm
did all areas of the business get this? EviCore?
Cute that he says we will lay you off after 1/1 so that you can focus on making sure 1/1 is smooth...
@a8 Just got the "y'all are safe" meeting so thanks for the heads up!
@ae What about offering VRP this year (Nov or Dec?). My read on the email is all bets are off. Reduction can happen wherever and whenever. I would say they could do two more reductions this year cause they don't care.
@ak this is the winning comment here!!
Yes
Do we still receive our bonus if we’re laid off in January or February?
Hoping my manager(s) know sooner than later if I am on the list for layoff next year so I don’t have to complete my end of year review. I’d rather not waste time filling out that BS if it’s not necessary.
@af it means the timeliness is different for your area.
@ag no, full time US employee but in international health
@af are you a contractor? Wondering if contractors received the email.
What does it mean if you didn’t get the email?
@a4 yes, last round for 2026 is next week the 12th and then people are “safe” - at least until January.
When we asked for transparency- it wasn’t to say “there will be layoffs in the future but we aren’t going to give literally any other info except general timeframe”. What an absolute joke. Giving everyone anxiety and saying it’s what we asked for
Some of you may be laid off, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Company-wide memo from Brian went out today about "Accelerate to One," the multi-year initiative tied to the Lead to One vision. It says plainly that this will change the shape and size of the workforce, with fewer managers and fewer employees overall. The stated levers: stop or reduce work not aligned with priorities, streamline processes and outside spending, make more use of global capabilities, lean on technology and AI, and push decisions closer to the work with fewer layers. Leaders are starting org reviews now. Plans get built over the coming months, and implementation starts in early 2027, held until after Jan. 1 so service isn't disrupted. Some roles will change, some work will move, and some positions will be eliminated. Affected employees will hear directly from their leaders. No numbers, no specific departments, no dates beyond "early 2027."
We heard your concerns, and plan to address them by...layoffs!
But at least we're being "transparent" about it.
What a load of cr-p!
for your well-being, do not believe any manager who gathers yall together and says "dont worry, we are safe"
Wish we had mid term elections in companies as well, so we can vote out this corrupt leadership.
@a5..yep, it's all our fault. Apparently we asked for this.
The decision to reduce the workforce is based on results of the insight survey. Who knew?
I got it 1:00 est very vague I was hoping to get laid off November is that still happening?
"workforce reduction" email sent out to employees at 1pm EDT as predicted by OP.
