#layoff

Why does only technology bear brunt of layoffs everytime? In the finance and business, we have directors without any reports or 1-2 reports, directors reporting to directors but those are overlooked and everytime GT suffers from most layoffs?

I have a theory that, the uneducated id--t hill doesn't understand technology unlike his predecessor, so everytime GT needs to make sacrifice for the lack of our CEO's intelligence (which separately gets reflected in the fall of stock price from 85 to 55)

Does molina ever move some employees to a different plan when layoffs are occurring?

I hope I just get laid off in these next rounds. A layoff is a band-aid ripped off with severance. PIP is torture. You still try, because some stupid part of your brain thinks you can beat it. So you exhaust yourself 'improving,' only to get fired anyway, just without the severance. What other tricks do they have planned?

If anyone is comfortable sharing details.

Good luck to all of us. I need the job.

So, if a BOA meets the Rule of 70, but has just been terminated (to make way for a younger person), can they still keep their LLP?

That’s probably not a good sign for those who would prefer to remain employed.

layoffs taking place today 3/17/26. Myself along with 2 others I know were laid off effective today!! GBD business

17 being made redundant across the UK and more expected in the next 90 days. Great reward for constantly hitting our targets.

Hi everyone, i know it's a long shot, but I am genuinely looking into how to possibly "volunteer" for layoff. I am burnt out and going to take a career break, but how can I be part of layoffs if there is a second round? Might as well try to get some severance pay, based on hcsc policy for years worked here. Seriously asking/inquiring. Here come the troll/mock replies, I'm sure...

Layoffs have been confirmed for May, affecting 15% of employees, with the list of impacted individuals to be shared with management this week.

I’ve been at IBM since 2013. Since that time I’ve seen most of the coworkers I counted as friends get laid off. (Why do we have to say “RA” just because the terms “lay off” and “laid off” cause IBM heartburn?) Given my age and my tenure at IBM, I can’t help but feel a bullseye forming on my back. Still, I’m more at peace with this idea as time goes on. Much of that is because I have yet to talk to any former IBM employee who wishes they were still with Big Blue.

I am hearing that there will be more layoffs on the 23rd. Some loud mouth that sits near me keeps bragging about how they are supposed to be quite. I guess he feels like one of the cool kids because they are in the loop.

Happened today, couple people disappeared after 10am. Confirmed with one of them.

This layoff round is taking a large amount of causalities. US/CA/UK/EMEA/India

Good luck to all

Curious if anyone laid off is trying to secure another role within UHC or Optum? If yes, any success with getting interviews or re-hired? How long did it take you to get rehired?

Layoff and RTO fatigue. The beatings will continue until morale improves or people quit.

Laid off 3/5/26. Electronically submitted severence paperwork the next day. People say it takes 2-3 pay periods until it’s paid out. Is there any way to expedite?

Asking as I might take another internal position (I’m in the hiring process). You forfeit severance if you are hired back on BEFORE your severence pays out.

Would like to get severence AND get back on since the job market is terrible where I live.

Any suggestions from this group?

She's already pulled back from involvement in the company. This just formalizes it. Gone within 12 months.

heard layoffs in BH happening today...

I just got let go today It’s happening

Of those laid off last week, did you receive a severance package? Are you eligible for rehire?

Any info on the recent layoffs?

I know it su-ks to be the one being gutted and left out. I feel for you as I have experienced it myself. As much as it is painful - there is a higher reason for you being chosen. You are being rescued even though it feels like the rug being ripped under you. You will recover and land in a better spot. You have outgrown the version of yourself at Verizon and excel anywhere you go. Sometimes the universe rips off the bandage and places you where you need to be because you are being complacent. I wish all of you much luck, success, and happiness in your post-Verizon life. I know I found in a company that actually values my opinions and work ethic. Peace be with you all especially all trolls that will come here and comment about me being lazy etc. For their information I found a job before my off-payroll date, started a week after and never took unemployment. 🤣

How does Wells Fargo decide how many weeks of unemployment benefits do you get if they lay you off? I have nine months now since I joined Wells. So what would I get if I get let go?
