Am I wrong? It seems so based on those who were laid off among the people I know, but is this true company-wide?

I was told CSBD will be hit hard this 2nd round.

Frontline CSBD associate… wonder if it’s RIF or just to discuss RIF happening.

Rumor I heard was that company is replacing IT with AI.

Well folks! I think it's time to leave this dumpster fire. You would have to be insane to stay here.

Yes, I still have a job but for how long? I doubt layoffs will stop any time soon. In addition, I know for a fact my work is about to at least double. We lost several team members and somebody will have to do what they used to do. I doubt we'll be... — read more 

If you're eligible for retirement (or early R -55+), and you take the severance package, do you forfeit pension money? Can you take severance and retire?

It sounds like a total bloodbath at Elevanthem today. Must be hard to continue working out of the office after such a mess. 🙂 When I left last year, I never had a chance to submit my final evaluation report before I was locked out of my accounts. I... — read more 

Just wondering if today was mostly managers, or were directors cut.

I knew something was not right when my manager changed my 1x1 from next week to today. Anyway SVP came on the line and started to talk about cost reduction, then Manager joined, then HR joined and started to talk about separation packages. Felt... — read more

This is just 1 article from today: https://beststocks.com/capital-investment-advisors-llc-increases-position-3/ Interesting news articles the past 2 weeks especially w/ impending mass layoffs.

If you’re willing to do so, post the results of your day here. Ironically, might be beneficial to see you’re not alone and how wide the impact has been felt. I know that’s what I’ll be looking for after my 15min call at 2:30. Best wishes to all. — read more 

For those of us eligible for retirement (age 50 or older with at least 10 years of service), can anyone suggest what we should say to HR when we receive a rif call? I saw a post last year where HR told the person being riffed to complete the... — read more 

just wow

It’s true and started with last day mid Oct. A lot about what these posts say is true about bad leadership and politics. The good go.

If the RIF turns our to be true, and you get axed. Would you ever consider coming back to this place?

Lol, my meeting with my manager was moved to tomorrow morning. Going for a looooong walk and prepare for tomorrow.

One of the VP's sent out a meeting for tomorrow and it includes the entire department. It's well over 100 people. It said try to attend if possible or something like that. Any thoughts? I'm nervous now. My guess is that they know everyone is aware of... — read more

Every team will be impacted by the RIF. Some teams have a 20% reduction target and will let them all go on Thursday while other teams will eliminate that 20% between Thursday and the end of the year. Don't think any team, GBD or CSBD, are exempt from... — read more

Something big is coming up, all the staff VPs are tensed and doesn’t make sense in town Hall meetings. Do people in leadership posistions in here have any updates ?

Why is that? I think I know I why. Corporate structure isn't as refined as the others hence no organizational integrity whatsoever. It's the wild wild West for middle management there job is not to improve business but protect higher ups from any... — read more 

I never saw an acknowledgement or communication of 9/11 or the Empire BC BS employees who died that day, at all today.

And the cuts won't be about "saving money" but organizing dept differently for their politics. And the people are in the "It crowd "will always be accommodated and not laid off in any reorg. And if you're a manager you're almost always protected from... — read more 

September is around the corner with folks needing to go back to the office. Any layoffs coming up?

This company is getting worse by the second. Gail Beaudeux is evil and hates people. She makes stupid decisions and wastes money on stupid name changes nobody in healthcare cares about. Plus it’s the 3rd name change in 10 years. Now let’s talk... — read more

Did you see new notification about work moving to IBM for Commercial claims? How many are impacted? Any idea?

There are many reasons why I don't believe that attrition will be huge due to RTO. People say all kinds of things, and perhaps most of them would like to leave and work somewhere else fully remotely, but I don't believe that many people will leave... — read more
