Do we think it's everyone from each division? That seems insane. A director told me today that the "carnage" will mostly be at the higher levels, but I can't confirm.

It’ll be months before this is resolved, and by all accounts the cuts will be massive. That means a long stretch of stress and anxiety, right when keeping your job feels existential. The job market is already a horror show and only getting worse... — read more

Has anyone at this company been a victim of s-xual harassment from upper management? I’ve been hearing instances occurring in Philadelphia, PA as well as several virtual teams

How's everybody feeling about this? Personally, I don’t know how I feel about working for a company that didn’t even exist two weeks ago. It’s exciting but also stressful not knowing what the future structure or roles will be. Some teams are already... — read more

As part of a restructure that involved Effectv, FreeWheel, and Comcast Advertising, over 200 employees were let go. The restructured company will most likely just be called “Comcast Advertising”

Just got word today that 30 or so customer service level 1 agents are getting laid off. This is at a company with an awful reputation for customer service. I survived this round. I don’t think I’m gonna be so lucky next time.
