In August I was informed while my team was informed separately without me.

They did ratings in certain decisions weeks ago. For instance SCC rated all the senior CSMs and other jobs being eliminated

Landmark is eliminating people then flushing in people from other divisions with positions eliminated

Optum rx took a huge planning

If your boss is getting cut they don’t share it as much

As a manager, no idea. Told that morning this is going to happen. Senior directors definitely knew though, are involved in meetings on whether profit is being made, how to cut staff, who etc.

Depends on the manager. When it happened on my team, my boss did not know until after. Another time I’m aware of, they knew a couple days before but they were the one actually doing the firing.

They had ZERO notice. People were even called on their personal cell and told while on PTO
