#layoff

ORCL investors can't unload this POS fast enough, it closed for the week - barely above the 52 week low!!

Klaxon sirons should be going off for all investors and employees at this point. One thing is certain, however. The August layoff will be a bl**dbath!

When I got the notice, I thought my career was over. Instead, it was the push I needed. I found a role with actual work-life balance, a team that respects me, and no daily dread. And I'm not alone, I keep a running list of ex-colleagues who've moved on and thrived. Not one of them regrets being let go. It's a strange comfort knowing that getting cut might be the best thing that ever happens to me.

What happens if you don’t take it? Is it a laid off situation or voluntarily quit?

I’m hearing this is happening in some pockets of the organization.

If, after all this, Monday comes and I find out I got refused, I think I'm just going to up and quit. I can't handle the mind games this place has been playing with us for months. I guess that could've been their goal, and I hate to say it, but it worked on me. I'm leaving one way or another.

every single manager has been laid off or fired overnight?

idk which regular employees got canned. anyone have any actual info on what’s happening?

Anyone hearing rumors of October layoffs? Specifically on the Evernorth side?

What is going on? We got the email about George Dyer with the town hall next week, but we just got a meeting invite from our L5 named 'quick update'. I've sat through countless calls that were named this because folks were laid off. Anyone know anything?

Does anyone know the meeting title that is used for a layoff meeting? Also, who typically sends these out? Is it from HR or your people leader?

So people can be ready for it.

Has anyone else had constant org changes, and it’s not all adding up? As we approach the next layoff round, it’s getting very eerie around here. I’m a bit scared. However, it also doesn’t make sense to do all these org changes only for us to be laid off. I can’t make sense of it.

Heard few people got emails at 9.00 and few will be getting at 11.00 ?
Anyone heard the same ?

Dan and his evil cronies fired you to buy back $1b worth of shares. Just evil

Just got notified

Why do some announce they are retiring but you can tell it seems forced? Does upper leadership tell these people they are being laid off and then lie to everyone about the real reason? I have seen this in at least 4 people in the last year. At first I thought confidence but it doesn’t make sense, especially with departure date. Anyone have insight? How is it legal to let someone say they are retiring when they are really being laid off?

Everyone will be notified of their PIP/PIL options by Friday, August 14. Age protected individuals >40 y/o have 21 (business?) days to make their decision, essentially September 15th if you include the labor day Holiday. They want everyone off the payroll by December 15th due to the year end Holiday closing of the financials. For anyone that is > 40 y/o and given the choice of PIP or PIL, what should they do? Without hesitation, anyone that is not NRE should seriously take the message that they will not ever get to their career goals or retirement. You will never be sponsored or in the clique/club. Anyone that is RE should take the package immediately to take one for the team per se. Anyone not yet RE should realize they have no chance next cycle so maybe take the PIP or not, depending on their own situation, but what does that mean if you have 1-3 years left to be fully retirement eligible? It all depends on your supervisor. Yes, your supervisor controls your destiny. Obviously, if you are NSI, you don't have a good relationship with your supervisor, so chances are, you will not pass your PIP. There is a cap this year on how many people pass their PIP. So, if you are 1 year away from retirement, and they have not met their PIP pass %, you might have a chance to make it since it takes 2 NSI's, but they still need to make their cap on PIP success%. If you are more than 1 year away from retirement, you will have to get under your supervisor's desk to survive and they still have to meet their PIP success %. Personally, I think I would just move on. Life in that stage is not worth your dignity. Don't hate, just put it in your back pocket and watch how all the worker bees start dying off while the company just manages contractors. You will still reap the benefits of the stock.

I'd avoid this company until the Paramount merger settles. I just got caught up in the layoffs along with several other coworkers. The future is uncertain and job security is low at the moment. I was in a tech position.

Several major healthcare systems have recently announced significant workforce reductions. Dignity Health is laying off 139 employees across two hospitals in California. Adventist Health is also cutting 132 roles as it centralizes certain functions. These actions reflect ongoing financial pressures and strategic realignments within the healthcare industry. Many organizations cite rising costs and the need for operational efficiencies as reasons for these difficult decisions.

I finally did it. Put in my notice on Monday, walked out the door, and didn't look back. I didn't even give a two week's notice. I don't plan to be back so I don't care if I burnt any bridges. I watched nepotism get promoted and talent get ignored for years. Enough is enough.

They can't lay me off without severance, so they're making me want to quit instead. That's the only conclusion I can make after my workload got cut to nothing, my meetings disappeared, and my manager stopped including me in planning. I guess they're hoping I'll eventually crack and submit my resignation. Or they'll try to fire me. Whatever it is, I'm definitely not going to do them any favors and walk away on my own. They have no idea how stubborn I can get.

After another sleepless night, I realize that this job has cost me so much mental health that being shown the door with severance is now sounding much better to me than staying here and going through the same thing again and again. So bring it on, I say.

I always assumed layoffs came with a guaranteed cushion, which made them less scary for me. Yes, you lose your job but you get a decent safety net to get you through the unemployment stage. Then I found out severance is 100% discretionary and now I'm spending all my free time job-hunting while I still have a paycheck.

I'm documenting everything and training two new hires. Either I'm getting promoted or I'm getting fired.

The latest questionnaire was due end of Feb.
I was let go in April.
Did corporate ever roll out the results or was it too impossible to apply the lipstick?

Use this thread for the layoffs on July 30th

Could have used the money to layoff fewer folks

I think we’ve seen enough.

After spending the last three years wondering if this Tuesday was the day my number would come up, my number finally came up.

I knew Wells consistently sets new record levels of workplace toxicity. Whenever one hears stories about heinously toxic levels at other companies, Wells says “Hold my beer.” But still I did everything I could to keep my job. I was afraid that at my age no one would hire me and I’d basically be unemployable, so a toxic job at Wells is better than no job.

However, long before my severance was up I found a better job at a better bank — A bank with a healthy work environment and one that actually values its employees beyond the occasional Wells e-card stating how much they appreciate you until they fire you and send your job to India.

There is another long-term Wells survivor here, and she told me that she believes many of us carry a lightweight PTSD from the toxic environment at Wells. She may have a point in that over time I can feel the work stress and work paranoia leave me, and I’m sleeping well again.

So DAR, you incompetent fools did me a favor by forcing me out after 20 years. But as a final goodbye, at noon tomorrow, 7/23/26, in going to stand in my desk with my back towards Chandler and drop my pants. At that time, please face north and blow sweet kisses at my shiny white a$$.

I was ‘laid off’ (UK) and had purchased travel insurance as a benefit. Is anyone able to provide details of the provider/group group policy number as having trouble locating.
Many Thanks.

The way they continue to spin our questions into something easily dismissed is astonishing. 'Concerns about layoffs programs.' 'We don't have a layoff program like other companies.' And a swift move to the next question. These clowns are the worst of the worst.

Is Wells Fargo still giving severance packages to North Carolina employees? Long-tenured, high-performing North Carolina employees were terminated without severance after what they believed is due to manufactured performance issues being used to avoid severance obligations. Are North Carolina employees especially vulnerable to this compared to other states?

Major US wide layoffs occuring in every industry! The ai displacement is happeneing!

Historic layoffs are beginning as AI will be dramatically installed from now til the end of the year. Increase your emergency funds as much as you can!

This sounds more like regular surgical cuts that always happen than a major round.

I’m hearing the whispers of an EISP around August 10!!Sounds like an across the board offer.Nothing special just the regular EISP.But sounds like no restrictions

After being laid off, how much time needs to pass before you can reapply at GP? Without risking your severance.

Anyone based in Ireland laid off recently? What kind of payment did you get?

Biopharmaceutical companies have seen fewer layoffs in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year. However, the total number of job cuts for the full year may still match 2025 levels. This outcome hinges on a significant increase in layoffs during the second half of the year. Mergers and acquisitions activity, which has risen substantially, could also contribute to future workforce reductions. The size of individual layoff rounds and the impact of M&A will be key factors in determining the year's final tally.

When your manager's manager bails without warning, the gossip mill goes into overdrive. We've already got a betting pool going on whether it's a coming layoff or just bad culture. Either way, I've updated my resume and started casually browsing. Call it survival instinct.
