No telling how many PA or FNP got let go.

As I understand it, the plan is to cut the panel in half over the next year. IMO this cutting our way to success is not going to work

Is it possible to just ask to be laid off? We all know it's coming, is there a way we can just be added to the top of the list? My manager says there isn't a list, I dont believe him
I'd rather enjoy my summer than worry about if I'm next every other week.

Does anyone have the remaining known dates for layoffs this year? I just saw a comment on another post that said 3/19/26 was 1 of 4 remaining, but I’ve only seen 4/30 as the next known date.

So, if 3/19 and 4/30 are 2 of the 4 dates, what are the other 2?

Our stores haven't been doing well. I think because food prices are so high and now gas has gone way up, people are cutting way back on non-essentials.
I thought we'd be fine this year, but more layoffs are happening. I would suggest finding a more stable company.

The most productive, most liked because she's always helping others, the most knowledgeable person on our team, the person who made our manager look good was laid off. So tell me, if all of that didn't save her, then what's there to do to be safe? The answer is simple, nothing.

Has anyone noticed or heard of your time card being blocked if you’re going to be laid off? I went to go try to cancel a PTO request for later in the summer, but after April 4, my time card is totally black. I cannot make any changes. Other team members see the same thing. We do expect RIF in our department. Any HR or payroll people have any thoughts on this?

So how do they decide who is laid off vs who stays? I was laid off a couple of years ago (and then came back to a different role, lower pay grade) and there were 2 of us laid off from our team of 5 - I was 48, she was in her 50's; I'd been with the company 17 years, she'd been there 9 years (1 team member that stayed was older than her, the other 2 were in their 40's but younger than me but all had been there at least 7, with 2 of them 20).

With yesterday's layoffs, there were 25 HDP pharmacists let go. I've only gotten 5 names, but of those 5 all of them are in their 50's and closer to retirement than not. 1 of them has been with the company 10 years, the others all at over 18 years.

So are they trying to get rid of older people and/or those with tenure?? And if so, isn't that ageism?

I overheard a director say just listed every employee whom reports to me as possible candidates for the next round of lay offs and I'll tell my managers to give me solid reasons why I should remove each person you want removed.

Not sure what groups are impacted. But do know that a coworker on the Retail team under Lau send an email to HR requesting a package when the next round hits and he was told Tuesday 3/24 will be the day.

Rumblings about product being impacted but it’s only rumor.

Anyone know anything yet about when and how many?

As we are now officially without the CTO... is this the last moment to leave this company?

Got the bonus, now it’s time to start looking to get out. Anyone else looking to roll out now that they got the bonus?

Turns out there was actually a real annual layoff recently, not related to the Coffee Badging thing, even though this enforcement accelerated greatly and many people were laid off for that too.

But it is odd that the annual layoff where people were let go for cost cutting reasons from the company didn't make waves on this forum at all.

Any insight on which depts/teams on the upcoming lists? There are 4 more layoff dates - along with individual layoffs thru Q4 2026.

Anyone have the list they can share?

Liberty Home Choices announced its impending closure. More than 600 workers will be laid off. An economic downturn was cited as the reason. The industry struggles with low Medicaid rates. High employee turnover also affects the sector.

GL31 here - Execs will conduct individual layoffs throughout the year. This will be in addition to group layoffs of misc teams. In cases where there’s only 1 individual from a team being RIFd, this will be a 1/1 call w direct leader.

Meeting w leaders was 3/19 after massive layoffs complete to give notice of ‘next steps’. They are aware employees are expecting notices & the goal is to keep the next dates ‘confidential’ and have the ‘element of surprise’. Expect the unexpected as more deep cuts are coming.

My friend & peer is GL32. Informed GL30-32 will be part of the ‘individual’ layoffs as to not cause alarm to their teams. Expect sudden ‘retirements’, ‘spending more time with their families, pursuing other opportunities’, etc. But in the end, we all know they were booted & forced to leave. It just sounds better when it’s presented as though it was their choice vs forced.

Buckle up - lots more cuts on the horizon.

Received my 2025 CIP payment today, which was graciously received. And it was only slightly less than my 2024 payment where I achieved mostly EEs.

Except the difference is that this was laid off end of July. And received my worst ranking during my time at Chevron.

So how does half a year of mediocre performance result in a bonus only mildly less than a full year of high performance — in a company that openly espouses paying for performance?

Please make it make sense. Doesn’t seem like a great strategy, but then I’m hardly qualified to assess such a thing from this side of unemployment.

Goldman Sachs will start a series of small layoffs. These reductions will continue throughout the summer. All business lines within the company are expected to be impacted. This new approach replaces the bank's previous single annual layoff event. Business-line leaders will now determine their own timelines for staff cuts.

In 05/2025 and was just let go. 10 months later. Thank God the family stayed in Georgia. I lived in a rat trap for the past 9 months to save a few bucks and protect against uprooting my entire family. VP kept asking me when's the family moving out? Packing up the car this weekend and heading home. Ingot problems and will have trouble finding something but thank god I didn't put my family through that.

Today and subsequent lays offs…. You will be offered a job, more than likely with reduced pay. IF you opt to not take offered job, Optum will not pay you your severance.
Is this even ethical?
Most households cannot survive if someone’s salary is much reduced. Most have to find a new job with comparable pay.
Withholding one’s severance they are entitled to when being layed off seems way wrong.
If they hadn’t layed so many off prior, they wouldn’t be losing their coin on all these severance packages. Just keeps getting worse and worse!

Anyone know how many in HDP were laid off today(3/19)?

This company lays off so many people every year just know this technique to replace people using AI and if they let go people then they can hire new people to get tax incentives for buildings

Does any managers here know around when the June layoff hit? Will it be early or mid month?

Next week? Next two weeks? Right after the Q report?

I can’t say I’m happy about it, just relieved I still have a job. Two people on my team were let go.
