The City of Denver laid off nearly 160 employees last summer. These layoffs aimed to address a $250 million budget deficit. The city lost over 1,158 years of combined employee experience. Departments like transportation and planning faced significant experience reductions. City officials anticipate future challenges despite planned efficiency improvements.

GAO Finds Education Department Layoffs Costly

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report on Education Department layoffs. The department had reversed plans to lay off nearly 300 Office for Civil Rights (OCR) employees. The GAO estimated these actions cost between $28.5 million and $38 million. The report criticized the department for not documenting potential costs or savings. Education Department officials deemed the GAO's recommendations moot.

What money buys you is priceless. It is the freedom to chose and leave anytime.

Here is my story. I made it 13 years at exxon before before quitting. No retirement for me except some of the pension lump sum. The lying a hole hr snake said I would not get anything but I got a little. I made several million dollars during my time at exxon and at my other company. I left with about 2.1 million in my 401k and a lump sum payout of only 230k. I left without any notice. I just stopped coming in to work. I truly hated exxon in the end and could not stand the supervisors and managers. The group was so toxic and gossipy. Eventually exxon sent me a letter of job abandonment and paid my vacation time. It was the best decision and feeling of my life. The money I made was more than enough for me to live on. I kept on working in order to get the medical benefit and higher pension payout but in the end it was not worth the pain and mental anguish. I was seriously thinking of working till 60 at exxon. I now travel the world visiting all of europe, Asia and south america. I got great medical insurance that is more expensive but better than exxon's was. I left in mid 2025 and my financial advisor has already increased my portfolio by almost 250,000 dollars. I live a very frugal life and have no payments as everything I own is paid off. I can live on as little as 2100.00 dollars a month. I so wanted to tell my supervisor to f k off and cuss them out but did not get the chance to. So in the end money was the key to my freedom and happiness. If you are miserable quit and leave before you suffer undue mental damage. This is my story and I hope it helps others who are going through the same he-l I was. I do not want to work anymore as exxon has ruined the experience for me. If I find employment that I can help and succeed in I may try. Good luck to all who play the game but remember the game is rigged at exxon. I had a horrible experience at exxon and hated every moment.


Are there layoffs planned for this week or march?

I saw a post earlier in here that layoffs were going to happen this week, but I was under the impression it was going to be in march. Does anyone have any updates on that?

It looks like a lot of the comments under the post are about NY, but will that extend to other areas of the company?


Can someone explain how only 2,000 employees (<3%) are being laid off??

The email on 1/29 from the HR boss said: “In addition to those colleagues who chose to participate in the latest Voluntary Retirement Program, we plan to reduce our global workforce by approximately 2,000 roles (less than 3% of the enterprise) by the end of February.”

All the teams I’m aware of were cut between 5-20% on 1/29. So how is it possible that Cigna is cutting LESS THAN 3% of employees? Were there a lot of areas that didn’t have ANY layoffs? If so, which ones?

It seems like more than 2,000 people were laid off just on 1/29. And more layoffs are coming in Feb. based on the email. I don’t get the math unless they’re outright lying.


Ignore All BOA Layoff Posts On This Forum, UNTIL THEY ARE TRUE

Until layoffs actually happen at your work site or disclosed from credible major news sources, do not believe any posts on this forum about them. As you found out, posters do not provide the affected groups or actual information to make their rumors even close to being true. Actual information should include initials of senior management for the affected groups. Do not use BM as we all know whose initials they belong to. Only valid BOA employees would know the organization affected by referencing the initials. It is ridiculous by the number of bogus posts about layoffs on this forum. This is not a game.


Dear Mr. President..

Dear Mr. President,

I am reaching out to you today to share with you, my story. I work for The Cigna Group as a programmer. Last month Cigna decided to terminate 100's-1000's of our Doctors, Nurses and talented technology employees - Recently Cigna agreed to pay a 600-700M "charge" and has decided to terminate 7,000-15,500 full time employees and offshore their work investing heavily in a new "Hyderabad Innovation Hub" "HIH located in India. They think terminating and eliminating US workers to pay for David Cordani and Cigna's Executive leaderships poor decisions is acceptable.

Recently I have begun learning AI automation and wanted to share my idea how to protect America's work force from Outsourcing and offshoring our jobs to other countries. I think if you were to post draft of an Executive Order or a new article on TS saying my administration is reviewing options to create a new executive order protecting American Patriots work force, stating if Corporations like Cigna plan to move US workers "jobs" to India or other foreign counties they should plan on paying HUGE new tariff\tax or fee on the US healthcare data that originates in the US to be sent overseas. Expecting US Patriots to train the offshore company to "Transform, Manipulate, Re-Work" the data and then send it back to Cigna (or other corps in the US) to then send to their clients like the NFL, Disney and Amazon - they should plan on paying a new ridiculous amount of money to be allowed to do this. It's not just Cigna it's all corporations are doing this and if we do not take actions to stop it - I predict we will lose Half of the US jobs in the next 3-5 years. It's a Major Threat to the US economy and imagine if we lose half the current federal tax income and Social Security will fail. Imagine half of America unemployed with no work homeless living in the streets - a real AI generated "GREAT DEPRESSION" is on the horizon.

I am not saying it should be illegal for corporations to offshore, but I think if they want to use AI Agents Modules and Tools to replace the American work force, they should have to do it located in the US with either HB1 or US talent. If they move this work offshore to other countries to save money, they should have to pay a huge penalty to do it. I think even if you posted a message on TS that we are looking at that your words would stop companies like Cigna in their tracks from moving forward until they learned more from your administration's policies on it. I would like to see you propose an executive order like "The Great American AI Patriots Jobs Protection ACT" laying out how we are not going to let US corporations outsource Americas data to other countries to re-work it and send it back to the corporations to send to their US clients without penalties.

I would like to see you mention directly if David Cordani (CEO) Brian Evanko (CFO) Kari Stevens (HRVP) this this is a new business model they should sell the Cigna HQ in CT and relocate the HQ to India and stay there. David and the ETL team can sell all their mansions in Simsbury CT and go buy palaces in India.

Please really think this through as I think this will go down as a Major Accomplishment in your legacy and would help the Mid-terms in November and for decades to come in the future. Remembered as first President to protect America's work force from AI development. The day you put a stop to this and standing up to protect the US Patriot work force.

I posted my story TS under my ID "IQ120s" this morning, but the TS admins banned my account for "spamming" under the terms of service section "8".

You might be our only hope, the person with the power to stop this potential AI Great Depression on the horizon and being able to avoid it and save America's work force.


Layoff running totals based on Slack

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.

  • jan01-jan31: 1604 layoffs, and 1834 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • dec01-dec31: 1031 layoffs, and 844 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • nov01-nov30: 1614 layoffs, and 1327 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • oct01-oct31: 2504 layoffs, 1762 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • sep02-sep30: 6275 layoffs, 861 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • aug14-sep01: 733 layoffs (based on Slack very few data points)
  • aug01-aug14: ?2900 layoffs in IDC (based on media reports)

Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.

I will post daily in comments on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.


are PIPs the signal of attrition/layoffs?

anyone else been put on a PIP recently? I had a meet expectations for end of year stuff but had a suspicious meeting with my sup about goals and a doc of improvements and now think its weird that happened. it wasn't us talking about goals. talked to someone else from another team and they had a similar experience but had a needs improvement end of year review. neither of us got anything from HR but maybe we shouldn't expect an email at this point.


Layoff

To the AIG team responsible for monitoring social media. Report back there should be layoffs. Focus on the toxic/useless managers. Leave the people doing the ground work of 2-3 people on one paycheck alone. There is no one left to cut on the ground. Maybe then you would actually have enough money in the budget to have employees and pay a proper salary.


Layoffs and Contractors

Make this make sense.

We lay off people by requiring them to move to a Hub city at their own expense and reapply for their job (or they are declared surplus/laid off). Then, a year later, they are back as a contractor, and RTO doesn’t apply to contractors.

If it is so darn important to have everyone in an office, why aren’t we ALL in the office? Why doesn’t AT&T thrust their own employees, but is happy to let a third party person have access to the same systems and networks remotely full time?


Pre-lay off notice

Any insight into how long is it between “pre lay off notice” and formal notice? Currently Not required to work, it’s classified as something like non-working administrative leave. Not required to come in-office. Still have teamworks access, just no systems access. Thx


RSUs - why in VZ stock?

I was laid off with the Dec 19 crew. I got an RSU payout on Jan 20, another one on Jan 27, and then the last one on Jan 29 (yesterday). The first two were paid out to my Fidelity Individual account in cash. The last one was paid in VZ stock though. Anyone know why the last one was in stock?
