Were there layoffs in care management this week and/or will that area get hit on 2/19?

I see job posting by PepsiCo with a title “Admintest iCIMS test job”, and I do get a notification every time there is a new one.
Does anyone know what these are?

Hearing reports that the stores-within-the-offices at Frisco, OP, and Bellevue suddenly closed last week without notice. Can anyone confirm? Are we that strapped for cash?

I’m still waiting to hear my fate. Anyone else in the same position? Do you think they will hit the January 31 deadline for notifying everyone? Or will this continue to drag into February?

I'm new here, I'm stressing and unable to sleep, so please humor me. How are people notified? I know there's an email notification, but is it then a meeting just with your manager, HR, or somebody else? Is it a whole group at once or one by one? Are people terminated immediately or do you have to stay on for a few weeks? I'm just trying to figure out what to expect.

I'm on edge. Everybody around me too. We have no indication at all about how this will go down.

I thought this would be done today?

Which website do individuals typically consult to monitor WARN notices? I navigated to what I understood to be the official portal — https://dol.ny.gov/warn-dashboard — but I do not observe the most recent RA event from November reflected in the listings.

I got word that layoffs will continue through February. Watch yourselves.
Can somebody confirm this?

What happens when you’re not available the day they send out the meeting invites?

Evolent started the new year with another round of layoffs on 01/15/26.
Approximately 125 people so far located in US, Philippines and India.

What happens if you're on PTO on the date they are notifying those who will be laid off? Will they just wait until you return to spill the beans?

Just an FYI regarding COBRA. For reference, I am a 12/19 off payroll ex-VZ'er. I called Net Benefits when I received the "confusing letter" last week about COBRA benefits. The letter is a standard notice that employers are required to send out to employees who are let go. I asked if I needed to "sign up" for COBRA as reflected in the Net Benefits system and was advised that I did not as I was already auto-enrolled since VZ is paying for COBRA as part of the severance.
What I did find out, however, is that at the end of time period that COBRA is covered by VZ (mine is 6 months), COBRA will automatically renew if you don't contact them to cancel it and they will start send you bills for the monthly cost of the COBRA coverage. So you may want to put a reminder in your calendar to cancel if you don't plan on paying the hefty COBRA fees after VZ stops covering the costs.

FedEx announced it will close its Ship Center on Southridge Drive in Wichita Falls on Feb. 28. Employees were notified several months in advance and offered job placement assistance, including transfers to nearby FedEx locations or relocation support. The company did not say how many workers will be impacted.

Who got one? Please indicate if you are market based , centralized or an HQ employee. Seems to be a lot of confusion of who got a letter and who didn’t but was supposed to

Some announcements tomorrow or just lots of people getting their notices? Feels like something is going on at the exec level maybe

Anyone know anything?

Have GC and PC been laid off yet?

In a meeting conducted yesterday, the following Optum 2026 Downsizing Notification Calendar was shared:

I work for a state agency that recently contracted with GWT for the promise of cost. I was against the negotiation, but I don’t have enough sway to have made it otherwise. I also used to work for GWT so I have this info passed to me first hand. Take it or leave it.

THEORETICAL SITUATION: You're in NJ and were given 90 days notice; however, you have another job lined up to start well before then. According to the "Mgmt Severance Program FAQ" doc:

"If you seek to separate from the company prior to the last day of employment date set forth in your Notification letter and still remain eligible for severance, you will need to complete and submit a valid Declination of Notification Period form, which would need to be approved by the appropriate parties at the company."

QUESTION: Has anyone attempted this or have any insight as to whether or not this request is likely to be approved/denied?

Thanks!

Logged into Netbenefits today and saw the notice below.

“Your stock plan shares and/ or cash have vested”.

Any thoughts on when we can expect it?

No more hiding and evading RTO. The policy is the policy for one and all. Firstnet or Fiber, 5G or Gwiz, time to move has come and gone as all will be on Friday 1/16. The exceptions and favoritism end in Cohen and Leggs orgs so bye bye teachers pets who join the breadlines like the rest of us. The smug untouchables now lose their favored nation status and will get a reduced severance down to four months. A few have already been given a heads up. Other’s will get notified next week before the official notice comes. Sad but central plains and midwest are not hubs and people have had years to move and they did t. Not fair and now pet status ends.

When do employees find out? And then will they be walked out same day or 2 weeks still?

When do managers find out? Will it be same day or before their employees do?

Which one will be shut down? District 19 IAM is passing out New York Dock agreements to members.

Wells Fargo plans to eliminate 114 positions in Sacramento County, citing cost reductions and expanded use of artificial intelligence. Employees at the Arden Arcade location were notified this week, and the layoffs will begin in February.

Can someone explain how the notifications were handled? I’m hearing all kinds of different stories. Was it individual calls, a group meeting, or something else entirely? My team was spared and I'm still new here, so I don't know from experience how it's usually done.

From what I can tell, the majority of the cuts seems to be behind us now, and the only ones left are probably those they never managed to get in touch with during the opening stretch (out sick, vacation, or whatever). Everything at this point feels like the final sweep, with the remaining folks showing up as delayed confirmations.

Someone I know discovered they were out only because their credentials stopped working mid-morning. No conversation, no thank you, not even a quick call. I never heard of something like this happening before. He has no reason to lie to me, though. This has me more worried than ever.

Notifications went out this morning

Has anyone else who has been laid off in NJ contacted an employment lawyer?

The notification itself suggests to do so, but I don't know ehere to begin. I have no illusions about retaining my job, but want t9 be clear on certain things. For instance, it sounds as if yo get another job during the WARN period (internally or externally) you might forfeit severance.

Does anyone know when your upline knows who will be RA'd? I hear there is another layoff supposedly end of December and was curious when management will know.

Checking in — are there any additional layoffs happening today, or was everything supposed to be finalized yesterday? Haven’t heard anything from leadership.

The VP of Group Ops and the Medical Director made their rounds this morning. Eight primary care sites in Orange County, California were notified today, midweek, mid-morning that they will be closing effective December 5, 2025. They will be consolidating the clinics, shifting providers/staff into the few remaining sites.

Apparently, they were told no one would be let go and only reassigned to the other sites. Unsurprisingly, this was a lie. Positions were eliminated. Support staff were told they'd "try" to find other positions for them to fill, knowing full well we've been in a hiring freeze for the past year. The remaining staff in the OC are completely disgusted by leadership. Morale has never been worse. Their twisted idea of patient care means that thousands of patients are being told their doctor’s offices are closing in two weeks.

They allegedly hire the most experienced, most educated people to fill leadership roles, who get paid handsomely for their positions... and the best idea they could come up with is to RIF a bunch of staff right before the holidays, on a Thursday morning, expecting them to provide excellent patient care the next day and every day after until they're let go? Let's squeeze them more and more and see if their eyes pop out....

Has evening tours been notified yet, or do we need to wait till we start the shift?

Is there a point that we can be sure we are safe if we haven't heard anything? 11am? 12pm? 3pm?
