They will layoff at any age at any time whenever they want. The severance agreement has plenty of legal ease to make sure they are covered. A Job Title and Age List is always produced for any layoff as it's required by law.
Can’t lay off in the US by age, it’s discriminatory.
They usually lay off before the money for raises and bonuses is distributed.
What areas have you heard for January 9?
Chatter is Jan 9th is the next big hit
I think home health is one of the!
Any idea what areas will have the layoffs?
At least 1 round every qtr has been the norm for the past decade. The urgency to offshore has accelerated so may be more frequent. It all depends on what acquisition is being absorbed and dismantled. I would presume this template will go forward in the future
Very true. Across the board. All areas are being asked to meet cost cuts and only way is to rif even more. Make the lists now and execute early next year. It will be very rough.
The lay offs will never end. It’s their business model
Rumor has it that something big is coming for Optum. Lists have been generated with employee's ages so they don't pick to many people from certain age groups.
Have you heard what areas?
