It’s been almost a year since I was laid off from Sharp, and I still haven’t been able to find a job. I’ve submitted 92 applications, tailoring each resume to match the job description and improve my chances with ATS systems, but I’ve only landed six... — read more 

It's sad that that's something to get excited about these days.

There were layoffs right after Jon left Sharp for Inova. At Inova he has been leading a lot of digital and AI transformations rapidly which makes some of us think we may see layoffs soon. Wanted to get a sense of how his stint at Sharp was and if he... — read more 

and no layoffs at the top. they should start there though.

How many rounds did we have in the last few years? Is this how things are going to be from now on?

My team got hit. Me, another senior architect and my manager! Been here for 3 years. They mentioned "financial struggles". FYI, I'm on the I.T. side working with Epic.

Tough times peeps, it's depressin

So many people are going for same job. Some jobs I’m overqualified and recruiters think I’m not going to stick around. It’s rough out there!

Anyone hear about another round of layoffs?

I’ve been searching non-stop, and there just don’t seem to be many jobs out there. I don’t have the luxury of waiting things out, I need something now, even if it means taking a pay cut. I’m willing to make that trade just to stay afloat, but I’m... — read more 

I gave everything to Sharp, long hours, weekends, missed family time. And now, after all that, I’m out with a severance that’s a joke. The way they chose who’s gone? A complete sham. The ones really responsible? Still sitting comfy, no consequences... — read more 

I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter, and it’s starting to feel like something’s brewing. Would be good to know if more rounds are actually expected or if it’s just rumor mill noise.

They told me via Teams. Pathetic. cowardly

The one who stayed is being shifted into a differen support role. Today they said the reason for this was that there were 20 open Rev Cycle positions they couldn’t fill. Instead of hiring more consultants to cover the gap, they fired the team and... — read more

End of Sept?

There’s been talk that this might only be the first round.

I’ve heard it’s close to 500. I’m so sorry for everyone affected. It’s always us and the patients who end up paying the price for mismanagement.
