So someone mentioned there being a realignment in my area after the next employee survey. Anyone know of any lay offs in May?

Seems like Optum is doing everything it can to eliminate Wellmed, just wondering what we are up against this week.

Article published that Infosys won a GCC (outsource work to India) worth $500 Million. Well done Steve, but about 25 years too late and now wasting the company’s money. Scarier thing is Bill and the board even think this is a good idea. Our jobs are even more at risk across tech ops and data. I’m sure the OC (aka purple ponies) will visit on the corporate jets.

The Lower Township School District approved a new budget. More than 50 positions will be eliminated. Hundreds of people attended a meeting to oppose these reductions. The Board of Education proceeded with the budget. The superintendent described the cuts as his career's hardest decision.

I'm not a complainer, I'm really not. But look around. Deadlines get missed constantly and nobody says anything. People used to help each other, now they hide from each other. And I've watched two different managers bend rules that I know are there for a reason. CDW isn't just struggling. It's losing what made it functional.

I looked up my role's pay band last week. I'm five thousand below the bottom number. What do I even do with that information?

It’s quite unfortunate that there is no transparency in this organization. The Uniondale office has had rumors of its imminent closure for more than a year, yet no clear discussion. It’s the worst kept secret in the company. Hard working long term employees are waiting in angst to see where they will eventually end up-if at all-200 Park?? 240 G?? And when will the higher up’s finally give the little people the answer? There are many considerations for the mostly LI RESIDENTS- the cost of the LIRR, the extra time added to an already long day, child care, elder care, even pet care, but it seems like the “decision makers” don’t care. It used to be a terrific place to work, with talented and dedicated employees, yet some how these wonderful employees are falling by the wayside. I hope they Uniondale office gets some clarity soon, secrecy is certainly not a great way to conduct business.

If people donate to the PAC do you guarantee they don't get RIF'd?

Any Impact to India ?

No Dan, we do not believe.

Sad.

Westlake garage is backed up like crazy today.
Did the 8+ rule already go into effect?

Are the RIFs really expected to be worse than usual? There’s always some level of reduction in force, but a lot of what’s being said doesn’t seem grounded in anything concrete. It’s hard to imagine them cutting a third of OI or Health with so many active projects underway. I also haven’t heard anything from our controller or VP that would suggest cuts on that scale, nothing. I wonder if they pull names out of a hat…

Curious how it works if you get laid off while you’re out on PTO. My manager has been very distant for a number of weeks now so I can only assume I’ll be part of the April 30 cut. I took this week off so they don’t lose my PTO but I’m curious would they still call me on Thursday? What if I don’t answer 😅

Do you get notified a day before or does an HR meeting pop up on your calendar in the morning?

Are the rest of us now safe for the rest of the week?

Crazy to me that it's been falsely reporting for about 2 weeks now.

Any insight if OptumRx will impacted Thursday?

When will the people here be held responsible for all of the bad decisions they make. How can a company of this size act this tjis

About 400 more people gone. I guess Shart needs another million in his bonus.

I honestly preferred major layoffs to what we have now.

Sorry to be insensitive and sorry if you’ve been let go. I think I’m next on the chopping block. I was wondering what does the severance package look like ?

Look around at who’s left. It’s hard not to feel like we’re all temporary at this point. Layoffs keep coming, and eventually they will reach everyone they have to pay more than pocket change. Anyone still standing in the US is on borrowed time. It’s less a question of if and more of when.

No one has any faith in the employee survey. No actions are going to come from it.

Nothing yet. Had ANYONE got an HR meeting tomorrow yet?

I've heard nothing.

Recently the PTOs are auto approved and not from the manager, anyone noticed this in the past that affected their role?

Not some. All of it.

With potential layoffs next week, any advice on how I can save work files?

Heard IT can provide access if I download my files into a folder and make a note of it.

Will downloading a ton of files right now alert IT security

You survive one round, you breathe a sigh of relief and think it's over. Then a few months later, another round happens. And another. Layoffs at Gainwell are like those horror monsters that keep coming back no matter how many times you think you've ki-led them. It's never really over.

It feels like we've hit rock bottom.

Seeing updates about the technology the company will be using, but nothing about when people will receive updates about jobs or locations. Isn’t closing in 2 weeks? The communication on this from leadership is completely lacking.

We're certain it's done, right?

Are all the questions being blocked? Nothing is coming through.
