Looks like a couple people are being trimmed from most teams across multiple office locations. Charlotte, Saint Louis, Denver, Stamford. This just came out of nowhere. No severance offered to the people I've talked to who were randomly fired either.

What was the severance?
@fq when a center I know of shut down it was 2 weeks for every year for salaried employees and 1 week for every year for hourly. With a cap out at 6 months. Lost free services at one month mark.
I hope the severance was at least fair. Does anyone know what it was for employees severed? Hopefully the longer you were there the better the package.
No official communication from the company after the layoffs. Pretty pathetic
@aw They won't be, OpEx vs CapEx. CapEx was cut last year.
@aq I heard planning for Jan
@d8 are you willing to share the severance package details?
@b4 do you know what roles were effected
@dd Chárter has had a TON of layoffs all of 2025, but we all know that the CEO and upper management will give themselves millions of dollars in bonuses and raises. Disgusting. This company put out this bogus “customer commitment” and then proceeded to cut jobs and departments that actually support the customers. It’s not just sad it’s gross.
@d8 yeah, well, you saw the hit our stock took on last quarter's financials. Our stock hit a new 52-week low intraday a couple days ago, and is still hovering near that point. Q3 financials drop in 9 days, and I'm personally expecting another disaster (with no data to support this).
It's a mess.
Denver affected person here… Logic is that layoffs due to merger/bloated staffing and pay scale. Severance provided - it is something but not generous. Fourth quarter is brutal in public companies, dropping year end financials so the first quarter is bright and shiny. Contractors as far as I know not affected but there is no institutional benefits paid to them even though a contract rate is high but OPEX teams were hit today. 40 ish so people on the team I worked with were walked.
@b4 which ad group
@az what depts in Louisville got hit? I hadn't heard anyone from there yet....
For those interested, I found the user group in Active Directory that IT uses to facilitate the walkout process and prevent system access by terminated employees. That user group had 793 accounts added to it today. A handful of those were duplicates (folks to had elevated access privileges via ADM accounts. So I'd estimate some 750-775 got walked out today.
@a2 Louisville, KY got hit too.
@ap great. Outsourcing to more Indian scam call centers.. Great customer service. No wonder charter is losing the competition war. Sounds likely that prices are going up due to inflation.
Contractors should be targeted instead of full time. We all know how bad is their quality of work. I am specifically talking about contractors in Denver Granite building
A manager I know in charlotte got cut today as well
@an it was just logical thinking to make sense. You can not trust anyone.
@aj comment to someone was "youll be safe this quarter if your still here" so some people going to have a post holiday surprise.
@am The deal is a as good as done, none of that matters. Offshoring will accelerate once the paperchase is done. It started some time back and IT only works with Indian outsourcing companies now.... the numbers will all get lost in the onshoaring slight of hand.
Existing Fed government and President does not like offsoaring. If company start offsoaring, then government will not be happy. And it will affect the merger deal.
Offshoring*
Your point makes zero sense either way
@ah Existing Fed government and President does not like offsoaring. If company start offsoaring, then government will not be happy. And it will affect the merger deal.
When their bonuses are threatened, the foder go first off the sinking titanic.. LOL, THOSES THAT GOT BOOTED ON THE FIRST ROUND... get to enjoy watching those that BOOTED them get tossed off the ship to the 🐟
@a9 I worked in business planning for Charter (Denver) until last month. By June of 2026 they have to cut around 8% of heads. This is due to multiple factors, the merger being the largest as they will onboard all Cox employees until the transition is complete and then lay more off.
Before I quit I was told to stay onboard and try to get severance. The writing has been on the wall for a while. Their headcount’s are extremely inflated. Offshore goals haven’t been met and due to this, internal heads need to be cut.
They Need merger deal approval from Fed. With this government offsoaring is not possible if they want to get merger deal approved.
What’s your point?
@ae They Need merger deal approval from Fed. With this government offsoaring is not possible if they want to get merger deal approved.
Supply chain?
It seems offshoring is taking its toll good luck everyone.
@OP those fired in my org were offered severance
@ab 6000+ is insane. Rumor in Denver was only 1500
Supply Chain just laid off a bunch. All over the footprint. We have heard 6700 employees when they are done.
austin tx hit.
With the pending merger next year, it was clear from their reports that more than 20,000 heads need to go. This is the start and many many more to go. Customer service roles being onshored and technical roles being offshored to India... bloodbath ahead.
General reduction in force. Logic applied above VP heads, they found out last night and had no say in who was impacted. heard that from multiple VPs who were stunned.
Also heard rumors of 1500 total nationwide by the end.
Severance was provided
@a2 yes - hearing all levels in Denver are being walked out
It looks like it's effecting the southeast. Multiple managers getting cut in Alabama and Georgia
Anyone have additional info?
