I have made it through the VSP and involuntary separations. During the couple months of uncertainty I looked for another job. It’s not remote and would be working in a more stressful environment but one I’m used to as it’s what I did before. It is a little extra money about 12-20k more a year.
I was so stressed about potentially being laid off I went through with the interview process for the other job and was given an offer.
Now that I found out I’m safe from this I don’t know if I should take it. Part of me is saying yes take the offer because the layoffs could happen again soon. I guess just wondering what you all would do? I do love working from home though.

Mauoervisor seemed shocked when they dropped my ranking that I told them I would be quitting. They said but you are not NSI and Good is really a good outcome in such a competitive rank group. Why would I stay around when I no longer receive any RSUs and am over my salary curve?

Nationwide layoffs at Cumulus Media have resulted in the departure of two long-serving radio personalities from KFRU in Mid-Missouri. David Gaines and Simon Rose were affected by these company-wide reductions. Rose had a career spanning 37 years at KFRU and 33 years at KBXR. His former co-host expressed disappointment, calling the cuts a loss for local radio. Cumulus Media recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Does anyone else have a problem buying the absolute BS that comes with these recent townhalls? Trying to oversell the progress of the company even among the financial losses, low clinician satisfaction and lack of moral within employees? They keep preaching that they are listening to grievances, yet they continue pushing next agendas and plans for changes when we aren’t stable enough to implement successfully. Saying they want more automation = less need for manpower = layoffs. But they don’t say it.

What did everyone think about Ryan saying layoffs are now part of the “new normal” and to expect them going forward?

I was curious if anyone knew should I put in a 2 week notice with everything going on? I need the work. But I hate to not put a notice in but I fear they will let me go that day. Was curious if there was a fine line with this and the layoffs and what’s being told to management.

Has anyone from the behavior health teams been laid off?

The acquired company doesn't care about the employees or the customer, so why are you still there. The only Citrix thing about Citrix now is the name. It is nowhere near the great company it was while it was Mark Templeton was there. Ever since the acquisition, it has not only gone down in value, but also in the human culture it had.

Resign. Spend time with your friends and family. Travel. Be a good person to yourself. They will never treat you like anything other than the number. The layoff after the acquisition was the best thing that ever happened to me. Live long and happy, my friend. I don't always drink beer, but when I do, it is the flavor-of-like I drink.

Rumor mill says there'll be more cuts before the end of the month, has anybody heard anything concrete about it?

Are they gonna at least let us know when this first round is over so we can stop stressing for at least a little bit till the 2nd round… this company is making me hate them w how they’re keeping us in the dark.

That's all I wanted to say. Pay me to leave this place and I'll dance out the door.

No other way out of this CR but LR the middle class

A (now former) colleague of mine was featured in promotional LinkedIn post celebrating how great they are. Same person was laid off the very next day in the name of the Canada Transformation. You can't make it up.

It’s now mid-August and no VERP has come out yet. Little birdie, please spill the beans if you know something. Does anyone have any credible information on a VERP coming, and if so, when?

After you're laid off?

Is it paid out with severance or separately? Actually, is it paid out al all?

Curious on the potential of layoff / any insight. I work for the Optum Care at Home - Care Navigator role. DSNP plan.

A lot of people quit this role and they are not re hiring - but have brought on plenty of Philippines staff.

I have always felt the role won’t stay on shore but im curious of any word or input

I'm at the slowest store in a district by a long ways. They transitioned a store that is a fair amount busier then us. We went from 7 reps down to 5 before the big layoff. Now we are losing another rep to a different store. I have not heard if they are replacing that position. But you can not run on 4 reps. Any chance they just flat out close us because we are slow enough even indirects didn't want us? Has anybody seen that play out?

Re: Today is your last day as my employer.

You have underperformed and not met expectations. All of the promises you made to lure me to this role, were never kept.

Normally I would give you a 14-day PIP (2 weeks’ notice) before canning you, but you are not worthy, and I am ending your opportunity to employ me effective immediately.

In the middle of reading this note, I have blocked you from all ways of communicating with me. If you have any questions, please submit them to my portal, which I will never look at.

Please return anything of value you have received from my employ or I will have to send you threatening legal notes that I have no intent to pursue. Just to cause you more anxiety than I already have.

I will also send you automated messages in the middle of the night reminding you of how unwanted and unproductive you are, and to sign my correspondence or you will lose the chance to.

If you play your cards rights, I may give you a good reference, to help you take advantage of and sc--w over other employees, but you know I really have no intention of doing so. I just tell you that to make you think I care. You know I don’t.

Signed,

How Does It Feel.

For those of you who were asking for her departure your wish has come true. D. Fleming is “retiring” another EVP bites the dust. So when will Tom bite the dust?

I am out of town, I have been monitoring my mails (using USPS informed delivery). I have not received any mail. I did not see anything on ADP either. Please share if you have already received severance pay. It will be so helpful!

Hi everyone! Been in seat for a couple of years in the sales side. I’ve been dreading work, and frankly want to be part of the layoffs. How can I position myself?

A union representing 281 workers at Extendicare Countryside is criticizing management for recent issues. They argue that corporate layoffs and cuts, not isolated problems, led to a provincial order to stop new admissions. Workers have voiced concerns about staffing levels and workloads for months. The union believes these issues directly impact resident care. They are calling for Extendicare to address staffing shortages and fill vacant positions.

Nothing else. Just good old greed. When will they figure out that if you put profit above everything, you destroy the company? Then there's no profit for anybody.

The company has me in a state of mind where being laid off seems preferable to staying here. Just imagine how bad things are if somebody who's been here for over a decade is thinking that way.

I've seen good people try to make things better repeatedly. They proposed ideas, challenged bad processes, and tried to push change, and all they got for that was being put on the next layoff list. The only way to survive this place is to keep your head down and do what you're told. The new Dell way.

Any inside corruption story for possible layoff rewards, bonus or vouchers

The hardest part is still having to work. Why. You don’t want me here, let me go.

Stop sitting around and letting a company steal your peace.

Update your résumé. Network. Start looking. Don’t wait for a company to value you when their actions show they don’t.

I recently resigned from UHC after nearly 30 years. After decades of dedication, there was no “thank you” or “job well done”—just “go ahead and sign out; we’ll pay you for your two weeks.”

I found a fully remote job making more money than I was after nearly 30 years. That taught me something: your job is not your life, and your employer does not own your peace.

If you’re miserable, stressed, or sacrificing your health for a company that doesn’t appreciate you, start making your exit plan.

Stop being their puppet on a string. Take control of your life back. Your peace, health, and happiness are worth more

anyone have experience working with an attorney to negotiate your severance package? trying to see if this is worth my while. also leadership is threatening not to allow me to use my vacation time during the last two weeks, even though the language in the severance paperwork is vague and says vacation/sick cannot "typically" be used during your last 2 wks..work with your PL if "unique" situation. Thanks all. I am so ready to be done with this mindf*ck of a place.

Finally and officially. After all these years of dedicated work, I leave with no recognition, no empathy, no real thank you, and not even an opportunity to say goodbye to my team or colleagues or people I knew. Just a simple, “We'll contact you with instructions to return your equipment” and a forced “thank you for your time with the company.” No goodbye. No ceremony. No acknowledgment of working ten years. Just a "log off and be done." WOW. I never imagined I'd be treated as insignificant as I was by management after giving so many years to this company. It honestly feels like they had been waiting for this moment and wanted me gone long ago. But you know what? I'm finally out. And that's what matters now. Overall the company has become more toxic and unpredictable. In retrospect, I'm glad I'm finally gone.

Someone crucial to the daily and long-term operations of our team was let go today in a RIF. Our work will slow down and become more difficult because of it. Those we support will feel the consequences, too.

Don’t let anyone tell you that those let go are only the bad employees. This was someone with years of dedicated service who performed at a high level. Leadership at this company is only interested in a short term gains. There is no longterm strategy.
