Battelle Energy Alliance Confirms INL Staff Reductions
The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and its contractor confirmed recent employee layoffs. Battelle Energy Alliance initiated an Involuntary Separation Program. This program aims to reduce current workforce staffing levels. Fewer than 1% of INL employees were impacted, totaling under 50 positions. The company stated this aligns the workforce with national and Department of Energy priorities.

Updated Department Specific Layoff
If you have been laid off recently, What department were you in and what band level? I see a lot of Evicore people are being laid off. I'm wondering if this applies to any other Cigna preauthorization department? Customer Service reps? IT teams? etc. Also, were you given any notice, or were you laid off immediately without notice? I'm just trying to see where Cigna is going with this. The suspense kinda got me what to just quit and go full force with my side business.
Was anybody offered another position?
Many of our corporate teams were laid off, but I am hearing some of those who were kept will be placed into other roles?
Within my department, senior managers and below are all in the dark right now. So who is deciding to save who?
AP?
Where are the cuts to this useless department?
Rumors swirling but seems all talk no show
Anyone have info?
Location cuts
Which locations are being cut this round? Do share if you have info!
Moving

Layoff Megathread
Instead of having tons of messages, let’s do this:
Position
Department
Years of Service
Severance Offered
Wanting to leave
Anybody know how to get offered the severance package if you were moved to another team? I got moved to a new department without any say in it, and I'd rather have the severance instead.
Which orgs are getting hit?
I’ve seen posts about Marketing and Global Distribution. Any others?
What happens to vistance networks if the 2 sub divisions are sold off?
Ok.. my understanding is depts such as Hr, finance and IT are vistance networks
So what happens then if Ruckus and aurora networks are both sold off
Anyone know of layoffs at WellMed of Florida on 2/19?
Who will be impacted?
What departments?
Layoffs
When? Which department?
Insight into 2/5
Any insight into 2/5’s layoffs? Possible departments, etc.?
Intake
anybody know if intake may be affected ?
Why are some departments always hit so hard? ISG/CSG for example
I always thought ISG = Inside Sales Group and CSG = Channel Sales Group, but apparently neither are sales related... Still don't know what they are but, why are those groups seemingly always hit so hard?
What did they do to pi-s off the Dell "gods?"
Community Relations Changes?
I heard there might be changes to community relations and related outreach.
I work with that group but have been off on a leave.
Have there been any changes? Same leadership or new?
If you were JE'd, post your role or department here.
Evicore Project Manager axed today.
Any layoffs in process?
What locations would you it be? Which functions?
Changes
Are any other departments implementing new and far out there changes? Our department was told today no one can start work before 7am even though we follow EST and some of the team are in different time zones. I feel like they are trying to see who they can push out so they don’t have to pay severance.
New titles and new assignments coming in February
Get ready for new titles and new assignments in multiple divisions in February.
Commercial IFM and Medicare impacted.
Anyone heard anything about the East market regions or affordability departments?
I feel like everything is very specific but then others are saying every department is 20% -kind of hoping to get cut tbh.
Wait so CS is actually getting moved
Sprinted to this page once the email came out 🤣🤣🤣
Consumer Group? Hussey? Wasem?
Any word on back office teams in Consumer Group like Frontline Insights or Systems? East Coast here but no “Org Update” on my calendar yet!
Feb 12th Layoff
Anyone know which departments? Is this all locations?
“Advancing Workforce Strategy” email from Mike
Layoffs are coming. The vagueness of the email is beyond frustrating. The timeline is beyond confusing as well… 24 months?
Anyone have insider knowledge about which teams/departments?
Anyone get an email for a task to complete " Review Distribution of documents or Tasks" Titled Auto Expectation Document-Annual
Anyone get an email for a task to complete " Review Distribution of documents or Tasks" Titled Auto Expectation Document-Annual only to see if was canceled in WD.
Well it was seen prior to it being canceled. It's a zero tolerance policy with no exceptions. No reason to let you go. So here we go folks. Hold on the rides about to get bumpy as he-l....

I keep hearing mentions and whispers of reorgs. Anyone have insight to that? What areas are involved and when?

where do you sit and what department are you working out of? …..trying to see if what we’ve been complaining about is a company wise issue or a department issue….
Wellmed RIF 12/17
Please comment if you were affected with the RIF yesterday what market and department.
Bait-and-Switch
I was hired as a software engineer…….
But now I’m being asked to do work that has nothing to do with the JD…….
I genuinely don’t know what to do. It barely feels real like who hires you for a full stack python software developer and then suddenly tells you to do data engineering work instead
Do I start looking for another job, or do I just su-k it up and move to another department ? Or is this just a company-wide bait-and-switch hiring practice?
Subscription Department getting noticed for lack of subscribers
And this is not going to help. Apparently, these people are not aware that many police departments don’t even respond to vehicle thefts, you are told to come into the police department to make a report. Sounds like desperation to appear like there is a subscription product there, The News didn’t even put it behind the paywall:

GN&T Musical Chairs
GN&T did their usual shuffle of ADs and SDs after the RIF. For those that are unfamiliar, once a year or once every few years, they shuffle ADs and SDs from one department that they’re unqualified to lead to another where they’re typically even less qualified. It’s one of the many brilliant strategies that have allowed the competition to catch up or even surpass VZ
More Org Changes in GCAS
GCAS moving to a functional accountability model, head of CIM APAC is gone and will be overseen by a US head. Honestly this is a good change because CIM APAC has been a disaster for years with no accountability or desire to follow required internal or regulatory processes.
