Like many I am very frustrated by the hunt for a landing spot every morning, and all the noise and confusion that goes with it. Will we get offices again after the reorganization is finalized. That is, is this $hit$how just a holding pattern or is it really the permante new normal? Not sure I can live with this long term.

Are you guys ready for layoffs and more work?

Anyone have any suspicions as to how Provider Data Management teams across the company will be affected? My team (Wellcare Medicare of Connecticut) was already cut significantly once in 2024 because we exited the Vermont market then, and this year we were combined with Maine under one manager.
Without us and what we do, providers can't get enrolled, credentialed and paid, and members don't know who they can even go to see, so I'd say we serve a very critical function. But I know that means little to nothing at the end of the day in all of this. My manager has already said that if she has any say in the cuts at all that me and one other person are definitely not going, but obviously no guarantees that she will have any authority there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A longtime software engineer reported being laid off from Bandcamp. He claimed most of the remaining engineers were also let go. This news has renewed concerns among artists and users about the platform's future. Bandcamp has a history of ownership changes and previous staff reductions. Artists rely on Bandcamp for direct music sales and fear platform instability.

team has been told that we are not impacted but looking out fr frnds

What’s the real reason for the desktop tracking? I can’t help but think there’s more to it than “streamlining processes” for us. I’m concerned they are trying to pinpoint idle employees or something. Anyone have insight on this

What is the point of keeping SVP+ ICs in high cost locations while full teams are being laid off ?

What is their exact contribution?

Seems to not be mentioned or advertised anymore.

Is there currently any hiring freeze?

Someone posted on here about VZ selling central office and scrapping the metal.

I thought we couldn't sell the COs bc that's literally where our equipment is housed and some have collocated equipment from other carriers, or used to. I feel super confused

Anyone else org seeing people quit left and right? My org lost around 10 people in the last 2 weeks.

Most of the people I know are 40 or above, and just a few in their 30s. That doesn't sit right with me.

UK folks are impacted today
Dear friends hope you are ok

Zayo signed a major contract with Mastec. Lord help us.

Seems like there were some layoffs already this week , is it over ?

Layoffs on the horizon?

Any word on the teams affected?

6 months?

Is anyone else questioning the legitimacy of things we've been told about the VSP or our future here? I mean, with all the intentional ambiguity and gaslighting, I don't trust anything or anyone anymore.

What's up with the disclaimer in the offers that says "this is an estimate and can change"? How would it change? Hopefully, people aren't making decisions based on the numbers provided, only to find a significant gap when the money is dispersed.

Maybe its just me but multiple large group calls have been cancelled this Wednesday and Thursday. I get its the week of the 4th but would it be crazy to think layoffs could hit this week too? Or is it July 15-16?

With everything that’s been happening lately, I’m finding myself wondering how candid I can or should truly be. I know the survey is presented as “confidential,” but I’m curious whether others feel comfortable giving completely honest feedback or if you’re holding back because of concerns about confidentiality or potential repercussions.

No judgment either way, I’m genuinely interested in how others are approaching it.

Wth! More layoffs?!

What are they not telling us?

There's something I've noticed: a meeting starts, someone kicks it off with the generic "How's it going?", and the response is a crestfallen look, a deep breath, and "it's fine."

Nobody is okay anymore. Nobody is happy. Nobody is getting anything done.

We have no leadership, no support, and no idea where to go from here.

We can't go on like this.

Are they actually going to make us wait until August 10th to know if we are still here? That is so far away.

I would imagine they used to hire bright people, has the push toward lowest cost left this company with nothing but bottom feeders and incompetence?

Does this even matter?

Also I'm curious does this survey go to all associates? Or does the manager select a few designated pets who take the survey (which doesn't seem accurate as I am far from a pet lol)

My manager despises me because I ask him tough questions instead of having a "yes sir" person

There is another round of layoffs looming. It’s going to start today. Half of my team got an invite to a call at noon with our director & a member of HR. I’m not sure how deep this round goes.

Well, that's disappointing. Sincerely. Who pushed out next?

I don't mean it'll go under any time soon, but there have been so many wrong moves in the past decade or so that I don't see a way to come out on top once again, no matter what's done. I just think Verizon has seen its best days and it'll always be downhill from now on.

Do you work for Sabre? If the answer is yes, you're not safe. That's it. It's that simple. Bonus points if you make more than your coworkers.

Looks like FHE isn't paying the bills again! Unfulfilled orders are piling up, haven't seen any D&H or Ingram Micro orders in weeks. Rumors abound on Slack about cashflow issues again, but of course OTC is tight-lipped, pretending there's no issue, while the boots on the ground have to deal with the pi---d-off institutional customers. May be time to desert the sinking ship....

Laptop, badge and COU and he said also password. Why? Is this the standard now?

Hey everyone. I posted here kinda ominously last week and I was kinda freaked out. But I've kinda just accepted that whatever happens happens. Has anyone heard anything concrete new?

I am sick to my stomach after hearing "more updates to follow in coming weeks" day after day.

While I try hard to not let this BS affect my productivity, it's becoming harder to focus

Do we really not get Friday or Monday off Tudor the holiday?? Are you sh-----g me.

Anyone else get a meeting invite for this week that is vague? I received one but others on my same dept didn’t. I’m wondering if it’s a layoff

Hmmm, nothing to be worried about, just another day... nothing to see here!

Are you still employed at the bank? What happened to you?

Serious answers only

Is this true?
