#joboffer

Left after 5 years, no regrets. New role pays 18% more and I actually take my lunch breaks.

I'm not expecting to match my current salary exactly, but every offer I get is so far below what I make now that I have to immediately dismiss it. The job market is simply atrocious right now.

I submitted for the VSP. As things kept getting pushed back I started looking for work. New job wants me to start August 3rd. Still no word from Centene. Submitted my resignation yesterday. No severance but I am so ready to move forward. Best of luck to the rest of you.

Has anyone heard anything on if they are getting an offer or not?

Are EchoStar employees still calling themselves “disruptors”?. The pay TV business is bankrupt, satellite TV is dying, Sling isn’t competitive, the wireless strategy has been abandoned, and Hughes is under pressure… what exactly are you disrupting? I have an offer but I am wondering if it’s even worth taking

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon revealed that artificial intelligence has led to significant job cuts in certain departments. While most affected employees were offered new roles within the company, Dimon acknowledged substantial reductions in specific areas. He stated that AI has already created huge efficiency gains, impacting job numbers. The bank is focusing on retraining its workforce for evolving roles. These changes reflect a shift in Dimon's previous stance on AI's impact on employment.

Got a phone interview scheduled with another company for this Friday afternoon. The position is with a local oncology clinic. Starting pay pretty dang close to what I make now after ten years. I didn't take the VSP, and obviously haven't been notified if my position within EBOS is being cut as I guess that's supposed to happen within the next couple of weeks or so. But with all that going on in CC with seemingly no positive changes on the horizon, it might be wise for me to, in the famous words of Cobra Kai, "strike first." What do y'all think?

Levi Strauss & Co. will eliminate 303 positions. This action stems from closing its Hebron, Kentucky facility. The company aims to outsource more logistics capabilities. Job losses are scheduled to start on August 30. Some affected staff may apply for other company roles.

You are being let go so that they can loop back around with the same job openings at much much lower pay with the reasoning that AI does the bulk of the decision making.
The 6 figure tech job will very soon be a thing of the past. This plan is unfolding right before your eyes now. Don’t let the lie you tell yourself of “maybe not me” manifest into a false sense of security. Your days a literally numbered on the calendar. Good luck everyone.

or take package. And also in a debate about even giving 2 weeks notice at this point when they want me out anyway.

I've been job hunting for a while now, and I've gotten some offers, but nothing that matches what I make here. That's pretty concerning because Exxon hasn't been known for top-tier pay for years, yet the offers I'm getting are still noticeably lower. I knew the market had softened, but I didn't realize it was this bad.

Hi guys-
I’ve never referred anyone before but my husband has been out of work for 4 months and a role is opening up (5 day internal hold right now) for the public that he is 100% qualified for.

Looking for anyone with experience in the referral process. Please don’t say “don’t do it” we can’t live on a one household income. Do they always call referrals? Does it flag to HR? Is there a way to message the hiring manager? We have different last names and won’t be announcing our relationship status.

Has anyone applied internally, was hired, then you were able to negotiate pay? I’m hearing there is a max of 8-10% from your current pay you can be increased. Is this true? I am going to apply for a position and have a great shot at it but need to be able to negotiate pay for this role.

Based on the language in the VSP offer details, does anyone know if accepting a job offer before your last day with Centene and before you officially sign the VSP agreement will void your eligibility for the VSP and you won't receive your severance payment?

Or should you only officially accept a job offer with another employer after your last day with Centene and after you sign the VSP agreement in September?

Has anyone been keeping up with this? Many will lose jobs/careers again with this latest decision handed down last week. Opportunities will become available for natural born citizens again as well. There are ups and downs with this one:

I interviewed for a job and didn’t get it. Fine. But now it seems like I was just one of the minority candidates they had to interview so they could give the guy they wanted his new role. How do I know? I was talking to a guy who said he was “starting his new job soon” and later I found out it was the one they had me interview for. I don’t care who gets the job but don’t waste my time. Didn’t they already get sued for fake interviews?

SAS eliminated 300 positions last week. These job cuts occurred across the company. A spokesperson called them "targeted changes." Affected employees can apply for other open roles. SAS also has hundreds of open positions worldwide.

Comments if your exit date is set as your departure (taking the package), Or choosing to roll. There are few internal jobs posting but not sure if real or posted just for fake pretend. I applied for every job I could, over 100 internal jobs. Four interviews, but no offer.

Tough job market currently, hope few land.

I recently went through an interview process for a role in upstream. Not a normal process and the interviews some of the strangest I’ve ever had. I was asked for pay slips then after some months of radio silence was made an offer. The offer claimed Aramco is a “wealth building opportunity”, yet the package on offer was 30% less than my current comp. Seriously, who moves jobs for a pay cut? I politely refused!

Anyone else got it? I'm in SF bay area, and the letter has couple job codes for bay area too. It asks me to apply for those.
Why does Oracle send out this letter by Fedex? It seems they laid off too many people, and they're desperately looking for new ones. I just had a long vacation, and planned to start looking for new job now, so I'm thinking if I should apply. If I do, and got the offer, do I need to return the package I got earlier?

Those who have gotten an offer, if they accept, they can still be refused? Is that true? What's the point then? I didn't get one, but if I did, man, I'd be pi---d.

Have a lot of people been applying for jobs or just waiting to see what happens first?

I've been applying and interviewing for months. I get callbacks and interviews, but then all I get is silence. I get ghosted again and again. No rejection email, nothing. That's how bad it is out there right now. That's bad as it is while I'm employed, I'm not voluntarily entering that game without a job.

Are you taking the severance or are you applying for a new role?

LPL's recruiter told me in March that there was a hold on hiring till end of May. This is now June. All of my applications are getting rejected without a phone call.

I got my first offer after six months, but then I read about them and they have the exact same issues we do. There's no point in accepting it and losing my seniority for the same thing. What a depressing situation.

Centene Corporation Chief Executive Officer Sarah London earned a total calculated compensation of $19,506,298 for the 2025 fiscal year. This represents a slight decrease from her 2024 total compensation package of $20,602,148.

Andrew L. Asher — Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer (CFO)Total Compensation: $16,072,880

And that's just those two.

Maybe get rid of them first. How many jobs could be saved?

Applied for a new position at another bank. I’ve made it through 4 interviews and waiting for a response. The weird part is they reposted the position online a couple of hours before I completed the 4th interview. I would think I would have received a decline before the reposted the position but I had not even completed the last interview yet. Is it a bad sign??? Has this happened to anyone?

Iowa will lay off 200 state workers. This action stems from a plan to privatize IT management. The state is contracting with Amazon Web Services and Cognizant Government Solutions. This move aims to save Iowa over $525 million in 10 years. Affected employees may receive job offers from Cognizant.

I’ve worked here a little over two years and have seen a few people leave, but none of them mentioned getting a better offer to stay. At past jobs, managers sometimes tried to match pay or move people into a different role. I’m not sure if that’s something this place does. Has anyone seen it happen, or is notice usually just accepted?

Two Ohio companies issued WARN notices during May 2026. These notices affect more than 200 employees in total. First Brands Group plans to lay off 110 workers in Cuyahoga County. Wood Group USA Inc. will cut 92 jobs in Hebron. WARN notices provide workers with at least 60 days advance notice.

I really, really want to leave US Bank, but I'm wondering if it's safe to join a place that obviously is not shy about cuts. Has anyone here taken a job at a company that recently had layoffs? Would you do it again?

VTPs incoming! 104 weeks! Low guys are getting a job offer guarantee 1-7 states away to fill the gaps after VTPers leave. Word coming down next week. Have fun with allllll that.

I left EM a little while ago to move to booming data center industry where they need capital projects people and pay better

Do some research and apply. Why not see?
Base Salary a little lower than EM but more than made up with near term cash and stock

Example. CL27/28 with 15 years experience can get you this
Base: 250k
Annual cash bonus: 20%
Stocks: $800k-$1.2M spread over next 4 years. No ridiculous 3 and 7 year waiting to get couple hundred XOM shares.
Basically $500-600k+ per year
And even know some CL 28/29 folks that are looking and can get closer to $800k all-in.

Or you can stick around and work with disrespectful people like Dan W or Carman M!
Good luck!

Monroe School Transportation Inc. will lay off nearly 200 workers. This follows a competitive bidding process for school transportation services. Transpo Bus Service secured the new contract, replacing Monroe. Transpo's co-owner is offering positions to the affected Monroe employees.

Almost gave up. Fingers crossed, everyone, please. I'm so demoralized here that getting out is about saving my sanity now. Hard to believe I was once excited to work here.
