Ansys still has departments that overlap with Synopsys—such as back-office and marketing—but does anyone know what process will be used to integrate them and lay off current employees?

Also, given that there have been multiple rounds of layoffs, does the company still have the financial capacity to pay severance packages if employees in these overlapping departments are laid off?

I just saw a new department message about another round of underwriting associates getting moved to claims. Pages after pages of names, poor souls.

I don't have any buddies left in that department, so I don't know what sort of pitch they are giving you guys.

Not much left there. Are they targeting layers of management?

I’ve seen reports of layoffs. Do you know which teams are affected?

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. 🤷🏻‍♂️
