Is Midland or Odessa doing similar layoffs?

Hi! I am a remote worker and I was able to log into windows, however I went to connect to our VPN and my connection has been deleted. Am I possibly being laid off, has anyone had this happen

Mano posted on LinkedIn to announce his exit. What could possibly have been so bad to leave after a year? So many legacy execs have failed miserably and easily remain on the payroll, especially in finance. What happened?

My boss scheduled a 30 minute meeting with my direct report tomorrow at 5. What could it be? Are they being laid off? Am I? My performance review is on next week, , could they just be getting their perspective on me? This is making me so nervous!

My performance evaluation is incomplete by my manager. Could this mean I’m on the list for 2/19?

Just had a talk with my adviser about this whole voluntary layoff thing….With me I am so close to 65, I plan to get out of telecomm and pick up a mediocre part time job to cushion the loss of CC funds. Come to find out the upcoming deposit of my severance, any upcoming bonus, banked PTO, etc etc….will be held against me when I start my Medicare…the large deposit will be a IRMAA surcharge on both my Medicare part B and part D premiums. This sliding scale of 5 brackets will no doubly kick my Medicare premiums a few more hundred dollars per month. To those of my coworkers who plan to jump into retirement after the severance comes may take this into consideration. If anyone has any constructive criticism on this matter, I’m all ears.

I've heard there are none, can anyone confirm or deny ?

It seems apparent there will be a RIF this week on 2/19. Just curious if anyone has any insights in to the business segments and scale. I’ve read Housecalls, Wellmed, and others. Is that mainly optum health?

The optum board is always more alive than this one or UHCs. What are the thoughts on 2/19? Per the Optum board big layoffs that day? For UHG/UHC?

They cut and cut and cut, and somehow expect things to keep running smoothly. It doesn't work that way. This company could be great, but leadership is ki-ling it one layoff at a time.

I've been here for 24 years. How do I even start looking for a new job if I'm laid off? I haven't interviewed in more than two decades. I'm scared to even think how much things have changed. I wouldn't know where to start.

WARN notice said 54 laid off in Baltimore alone. However, posts on this forum comment on ~59 laid off altogether from the Global Marketing and Distribution Enablement layoffs globally. Does that mean over 90% of cuts were in Baltimore alone?

Why don’t they layoff staff in EMEA and APAC? It seems unfair.

20 US CALL CENTERS
Each had roughly 23 coaches laid off and two Team managers
If you google their pay, and add up all the numbers, T-Toxic-Mobile saved around 26 million dollars a year. Next year they can pay for N-Sync at the super bowl.

Christian and Dominik keep talking about 2% layoffs every year. At the same time, SAP has around 2000 jobs posted on the SAP Careers website. I compared these jobs with the ones in the internal portal. Also applied to quite a few internally and had a few friends apply for some externally. And my hypothesis is this:

The jobs on SAP CAREERS and SAP INTERNAL PORTAL are GHOST JOBS. Either there is already a "preferred candidate" or the job doesn't exist but they still post it.

Why is SAP doing this? Hiring in most areas is almost non-existent right now and a few are leaving due to the bad culture and executive rhetoric.

We have the all company meeting this week. Now we start the dreaded "who is getting laid off next week" game.

I think we'll see leadership changes soon.

I just got a PIP. Given the current state of the company and the layoffs, would you think I will be axed at the end of the improvement period?

Today! Baker has decided to close down the Huntington Beach CWI R&S/Fishing shop.
All shop hands and welder have been laid off and or have an option to relocate up North to Shafter Super center. Admin and field supervisors will work remote. One of the most experience, profitable, hard working and well dedicated team will be no more. A big mistake that will hurt Baker in the long run.

February is almost half over and lots we’re talking about a February layoff but I don’t hear any talk at work about it anymore. This is for usa

What are the other Optum / UHG layoff boards that are legit and have activity or is this the only one?

If you are in Cali, you must be given your final pay within 72 hours, even with no notice.

The cynical way to work this in your favor: quit summarily no notice via email to your on a Friday afternoon during business hours before manager’s week-long vacation. You will be owed pay until the final paycheck is cut starting after the following Monday. There will also be penalties doubling the amount owed for each delay day beyond Monday.

Buy yourself a pint on you.

Do this only if you have no respect for the company.

Pennsylvania ranks third nationally for layoff notices this year. Approximately 4,000 workers in the state have received notices for 2026. Amazon Fresh is cutting 983 jobs by closing six Philadelphia-area stores. The GIANT supermarket chain also plans to eliminate about 500 jobs. Economists view these notices as a signal, but not a complete economic picture.

Talk going around today between Dallas and Atlanta is that it's cheaper to pay off Leg T union employees to get rid of them rather than keep them on the payroll considering high costs, high absenteeism, low productivity and trainability as well as non-collaberative attitudes. It's being agreed on by top leadership that it's much cheaper and far more easy to pay the termination pay per contract, and now that the watermark is no longer an obstacle, the first step will be to declare surplus which means VTP will be offered without a cap. This is expected to reduce the Leg T workforce by at least half. The remaining will be Involuntarily laid off by year end as all Leg T work is automated, outsourced and off-shored.

Bonus landed. Given they sc--wed me on Merit and Bonus... well they can forget me giving a 2 week notice. I would give notice today but I'm going to leave at a time of my choosing, when its the worst possible time to leave for management, that's when i say this is my last day. Karma

All these posts have been about the sales compensation plans and RTO.

Or pips.

Are there any actual layoffs that happened for the beginning of the year? Because historically there’s always been some big layoffs in February and August.

Are they not doing actual layoffs anymore so that they don’t have to pay severance? Are they just hoping that people quit after not accepting their sales quotas and not achieving their PIP?

…then outsource and contract all office and desk work.

Verizon, run by non Verizon people.

I keep seeing 3/3 is the big day, but what is so special about 3/3? Has anyone heard anything about 2/17? It’s a Tuesday after the largest payday of the year. And, Monday is a holiday. For me, the application I work on is supposed to retire on 3/1 and the work I’m doing over the next 2 weeks is kind of throw away. Just curious why 3/3?

In November 2025, 1.4% of people employed in Hawaii were laid off or discharged, a lower rate than October. Compared to the national numbers, the November 2025 rate in Hawaii was higher, meaning a higher share of the Hawaii working population was laid off or dismissed in November 2025 compared to the US overall.
