#layoffs

Layoffs were announced today. Affected employees have a month of employment remaining before being terminated.

Curious if it’s the standard 6 weeks + 1 week per year of service or something more generous due to the sheer scale of this round?

Society needs to start unaccepting what we roll over and just take.
Companies with record profits should be shamed for layoffs.

There is plenty of cash for a responsible return to shareholders,company reinvestment,and job retention and retraining.

Society needs to start rewarding companies that reinvest in all 3 pillars.

It's been a long time coming--but a much steeper trajectory toward then end--but this company's technology organization has officially fallen to Indians. If you are not an Indian, your career prospects are bleak. They also keep telling us that the new offshore capability center isn't intended to reduce the FTE onshore footprint, but just know, you are being lied to like you have been lied to about prior layoffs and RTO. It truly saddens me to say this because I've been loyal to this company for a long time, but this place isn't even recognizable anymore.

She is in India shopping for more sweatshops to outsource more onshore ELV and resulting in more layoffs.

Where are far left, far right, maga, union type people not talking about this?

F&&@ing Greed.

Streaming has been heavily hit. Will it be hit heavily again 2nd round?

Has anyone heard anything about the "location strategy" they mentioned at the end of July? The Tulsa office still hasn't heard anything and it's been 3 months.

Anyone here thinking about leaving if you survived yesterday? Would it be wise to keep eyes open for new opportunities?

Does anybody know what’s happened at Comedy Central and CC and former MTVE Social? What about at MTV itself?

I heard they got 90 days and will be paid until 1/26.

I feel like we got sc--wed. I bet their severance packages were more generous as well.

Let’s stop acting like these leaders and TGT actuallly cares. Amazon is supposed to be more brutal and not give a 💩 yet they took care of their employees.

TGT care, grow, win is a LIE.

What’s Charter’s typical stance when it comes to layoffs? Do they usually cut contractors or full-time employees first? With 1,200 FTEs being laid off, I would’ve expected to see more contractors let go, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Is anyone else noticing this?

I have seen multiple vendors are being thrown out or being replaced including Amdocs. What’s cooking????

I am 99% certain I will be cut. Can getting an attorney help with anything or I just have to sign? If yes, please recommend someone, I live close to the lot.

Currently on FMLA leave, am I safe? I have major issues with panic attacs, cannot drive or socialize - this does not help at all. I wish you all good luck. Love yourself no matter what.

what's the impact been there?

How exactly are they supposed to continue functioning?

Does anyone have inside info on whether Emerson will be laying off same huge number of employees like other big tech companies?

Are we sure today will be the main day?

Did anyone see the Fiserv earning and subsequent drip of 44% in the stock price. FIS in sympathy is down 9%. Announcement off 100k of layoffs between the mag 7. Things are starting to fet real.

What the H is going on down there???

For many are about to lose their jobs and source of income.
If you are in this brutal situation then start building up some savings.
There are very very few jobs out there folks.

Was informed my services were no longer need as my position was being eliminated. November eom was my last day. Any others out there?

Anyone who was laid off yesterday and desperately wanted to sell their houses, I’m here.
Price won’t be great but at least for your financial emergency.

Don’t thumb this down! This is reality, face iand accept it.

Operations being rolled into VCG, 50% staff reduction incoming.

Just got my golden ticket recently. This is the 1st time I have been laid off so I reflected for about a day to soak it in after being here for over a decade. What a sense of relief it has been after that first day though. Since the layoff I found a job I throughly enjoy doing. So if you are someone that just hates your day to day start building / reconnecting with your network and chase something you like. You only get one life so don’t dedicate it to a company that is just going to oust you. Once you get older around 40+ it’s going to get harder and harder to find a job. Find a company that TRUELY has similar values as you.

Tuesday after pay day. Got invite to business update meeting last minute. Guy named we never met told us our positions eliminated. This is the entire firm. Never met the guy, talked in circles about models and we are definitely not part of it. This is a 60 day working so we will be kicked out right after Christmas. They created another job with 1/2 our duties plus other duties reporting to someone else. He didn’t answer questions or look at the camera. I asked around and they is no plan to replace the work we do. They will figure it out in 60 days.

Bank layoffs. Data & Analytics hit (again and again). Not sure about others.

I love my job and the people I work with. Even the ones who are a pain are still tolerable. However, for the last year or so, I hate coming into work the Tuesday after payday wondering if I’m next…and also seeing so many of my coworkers across multiple locations being laid off for no reason other than just coming to work and doing their job.

I also work in SA and constantly worry about losing my job knowing they just opened a new campus up in Dallas.

The CEO and COO needs to get off their a-s and come clean with employees setting the expectation for how many more layoffs can we expect before they cool it.

You will find some areas that may be better managed and functional. If you are being brought in at a higher level with a specialized job, for example, if you are an AI expert and are part of the chosen, inner circle it is probably still a good option. But I would read through these posts carefully as there is a lot of factual info that should be given careful consideration. There is no real innovation, profits are being made shifting jobs off shore, via premature implementation of AI and via RIFs; that is not sustainable as a long term strategy. The senior leadership team for the most part is incompetent in my opinion. The CFO has no healthcare knowledge, the CIO has crashed and burned at several companies. Look at public records and you will see that the SLT is not buying Elevance stock, with the exception of one 2.3 mil purchase by Gail to shore up quarterly earnings, they have spent 400k total in stock purchases over the last year and are ditching their shares whenever that can. The chief security officer left, supposedly due to questionable behavior re in house self monitoring. The culture is very much a caste system where the SLT and their minions pass down impossible to meet goals and then also I believe misrepresent up the chain that goals are being met. RIFs are constant and are not communicated; it is like a horror movie where people are disappeared in the night. This results in the people who are left having unreasonable workloads and overall makes for a miserable culture. Many people who were hired fully remote and never went into an office were required to go in 3 days and wouldn’t be shocked if it goes to 5. Expect raises that don’t keep pace with inflation and cr-p bonuses. Advancement opportunities are also limited. If the job has anything to do with provider data, that is a mess. I would never do a call center job at this company. If you go in with your eyes open and limit yourself to 40 hour weeks from the outset and are able to manage your stress and understand from the outset that it is not you it is them; then perhaps it will be workable for you. I would strongly caution anyone who has underlying anxiety or an inability to compartmentalize against this company. You don’t mention percentage wise what the difference in potential salary is, I would perhaps see if you can negotiate with the other organization for a future increase.

Posted by @bg+1k8g1dfer, well said.

As someone that is impacted, Layoffs are a result of a failure of management to achieve their designed business plan/goals. Mine had more to do with my compensation than performance. Going forward I will understand the business plan and strategy before committing my labor to another organization.

We lost a couple of great teammates. Neither makes any sense if they were going based on performance, so I guess for once the leadership didn't lie. This was all about numbers.

Any word on layoffs in the linear cable world (MTV, VH1, etc)?

So we’re supposed to sit here for twenty-two days, wondering if we still have jobs. Twenty-two days of stress, rumors, and sleepless nights. It’s unbelievable how inhumane this process is. They could have given us a week’s notice, even a few days. But no, they’d rather drag it out and make everyone suffer.
