Would I be safer from layoffs as a telecommuter or as an office employee?

What happened to all the experienced staff?
Has anyone else noticed there are hardly any senior people left on the teams? Now most people have ten years of experience at most. I think the last round of layoffs and restructuring pushed a lot of the veteran employees out. Without them, there's... — read more
Voldemort and Grindelwald world
It feels like the Voldemort (Mr H) and Grindelwald (Mr. Witty still in the background?) are either very disconnected or have evil agenda to drive this company to the ground. How can any leader (even the unqualified ones) can do so much damage to the... — read more

Something feels off across the company lately
After the merit inconsistencies last year, some groups losing bonuses, and now the 401k match being reduced, it feels like employees keep taking the hits. And during the town halls, the leadership messaging doesn’t seem to land anymore. There’s a big... — read more

The Enshitification Will Continue
They aren't going to let up. Let the decreasing 401k match be a clue as to how RRP and Merit funding will be this year. By decreasing the 401k match by 1%, they on average TOOK $1,000 dollars from a UHG employee making contributions. Compound... — read more
401(k) Employer Match Decreasing?!
Saw the email come through. So our employer match is decreasing. This is ridiculous.
Leave and free yourself
No dedicated employee deserves to have their job threatened on a consistent basis for a year or longer. Leave them, they have no loyalty to you. There are better jobs. I went back to an old employer and I'm so happy again. I was miserable worrying... — read more

2 weeks notice
Has anyone ever put in their 2 weeks notice & got terminated that same day or before your last day? I’m contemplating on if I should. This is NOT a company I would ever come back to either.
