Was told yesterday by a PL that all this chat about 8/8 RIF are just rumors! Anyone out there know if these are rumors? Any PL who are willing to confirm this. If so, please let us know.

My father took me to the circus when I was young. In the ring I saw people wearing red rubber noses, makeup and funny hats and shoes. Father, could you tell me what this is? Father answered. This is a clown show. I responded, Father, I hope I never... — read more 

Has anyone ever been able to land a job via LinkedIn? I don’t have an account so don’t know much about it. Guess I should start job searching for new nurse roles now!

I'm new to unemployment thanks to our lovely company, and they are asking if I applied anywhere. If I don't apply what happens. What if I apply and nothing happens I include that? Do they ever verify or ask for proof. Has anyone fibbed about... — read more

Does anyone know the qualifications for being offered retirement severance? In CA can I collect retirement severance and unemployment?

I have been wanting to leave this place for a while, so I’ve been casually looking around. From what I can see, the job market is not as bad as many say. But it’s also true I haven’t been looking that seriously to make any claims. However, I’m scared... — read more

The company’s culture was strong until some leadership changes (say around 2017).We now aim to grow rapidly like United, which has led to a focus on expansion rather than maintaining best practices. Previously, our attention to product quality and... — read more 

Curious if anyone knows if contractors will also be part of the 8/8 RIF. I’m thinking it’s anyone’s guess but hoping someone has heard something.

I chose to "early retire" as a people leader this time last year due to increasing toxic politics within and between teams. If it was still the Anthem culture I joined in '06, I'd still be there. Tell me how the culture has changed for people... — read more 

Did the meeting invite for those impacted by the 08/08 layoff go out yet?

Will those being RIFed on 8/8 be let go immediately or will they have 30 days notice?

Consistently they've been able to not report major layoffs nor give people more than 30 days notice. I know the legal team is weighty and well-compensated, so they are clearly within the law, but I've never understood how.

Please tell me something that supports this date.

The rumor mill is flying about the upcoming RIF on 8/8 that the 1 day in office requirement will be changing to 3. Anyone have details if this is true?

Or are they just sneaky and use it as an excuse to get rid of as many employees as possible? I mean, no sane person can believe in all the AI hype as the great omnipotent replacer of all the workforce. If they were serious at all, and understood the... — read more
