#layoffs

This is your sign to leave if you are an individual contributor at Medical Solutions (non-management role).

I can't begin to describe the abusive and manipulative workplace they have created since 2023 after layoffs.

What they say and do is not normal, how they treat you is not normal, what they expect of you is not normal.

My life has been infinitely better since leaving. My work valued, expectations lowered, raises higher (no 2% raises there are not normal), wages higher.

Your 5-9 or really even during your 9-5 efforts should be focused entirely on getting out of that place. If you land a remote job double up and milk them until they fire you for as many paychecks as you can.

In case you missed it med sol is a valued as a CCC company by the investment firm (the kind of $h.it that crumbles in recessions).

I'll say it in layman terms: they do not care about you and will lay you off the first chance they get because it pads their bottom line.

There are thousands of other companies that will value you more than this place. Get out and let your managers who have been ordered to manage you out to deal with the stress of manufactured urgency they have created.

This is your sign.

Another round of company wide layoffs today

Nuff said...and yes layoffs are continuing...

Got the news 3hrs ago!!

“I recognize the weight of this news, particularly as it follows the organizational changes we made last year,” Anagnost wrote. “I want to be clear that this will not become an annual process at Autodesk and these changes are not driven by the external environment or an effort to replace people with AI.”

Are we ever going to get to a point where we won't have to think about the next round before the current one is even properly over?

Since the notorious 8/1 email, the stock is down 16%. In just the first month of this year, it’s already down 6%. That’s not volatility or bad luck, it’s sustained value destruction.

Billions lost on bad acquisitions, billions spent on buybacks at higher prices, rising operating costs from rigid RTO and unnecessary real estate, and now plans for even more capital intensive projects. None of it has produced better execution, stronger cash flow, or improved shareholder returns. The market sees it and has rejected it.

RTO didn’t create culture or discipline. It increased costs without creating value. You can’t talk your way into confidence or mandate your way into performance. Investors don’t reward slogans or control. They reward results. And the results, both in stock price and capital efficiency, are undeniable.

I am considering an offer from a global company where I will mostly be managing/co-developing a team of developers building a product. The downside is I might be the only one on-site in the city and rest are spread across the world. RTO is 2 days a week 40 miles away.

I have a pretty good standing at T but just afraid of all these lay offs and relocations to god knows where. What do you guys think makes sense to do here?

It seems like the beginning of a trainwreck.

I was a part of NOV for 15 years. I made it up the management ladder.
I loved what I did for many years. Until the internal split the company made in 2012 or 2013. An accountant was put over our business unit. That was just stupid. so was bringing back the yes sir man back from Singapore
It all went downhill from there. the hardest decision I made was to leave my product line.
Now few years later I am happy and I am so glad I made the jump. I would recommend anyone that is currently employed with NOV get out while you can. The ship is sinking
lol the ship has already gone down. Counting down the days until you get laid off is not the way to live.

In 2008
I was told you train at NOV and when you decide you want to make real money you leave. Its not just about the money, but that is true.
The stress relief is the best part. No one telling me to do more with less.

My manager told us that Optum Care on the west coast lost over a billion dollars last year, and that we have until the end of this year to break even. I can’t help but think that means layoffs.

IDM 2.0 was never a bad idea. In fact, it was necessary to save the manufacturing side of the company. But Pat’s mistake was investing in fabs before fixing yield and before we could reliably produce competitive chips for our own products again.
Lip-Bu Tan is doing all the right things to right-size the ship and inject discipline back into the company. I expect we will soon see changes to the focal process to align with that expectation from employees. But none of it means anything if yield does not reach industry-leading levels.

The fixed costs of underutilized fabs designed for future yields and future customers are ki-ling our bottom line and shortening the runway to get us there. If not for the investments Intel received last year, it would be over already.

On the bright side, it's the last time I have endure Micky Onvural making d-mb cuts. Good luck, team!

It went from a good place with a future to a sinking ship. Management only cares about the stock price, not fixing our old systems or keeping people. The original idea is dead and we're all just waiting for the next bad news.

• Amazon's job cuts to affect AWS, retail, HR units
• CEO Jassy attributes cuts to company culture, not financial or AI reasons
• Layoffs represent nearly 10% of Amazon's corporate workforce

Historically - no major cull in Jan always means a very large cull in Feb

Is Amazon ever planning to stop? What, does Bezos need another mega-yacht? What the he-l is happening to this place?

If you are impacted by today’s layoff please post here to help consolidate information. Please post your division (Optum Tech, Optum Insight, OptumRX, etc) if you feel comfortable, how many people in your team. If you want to go deeper like M&R, E&I, etc that helps.

Don’t forget, you will get through this, you will bounce back. This place is toxic and I hope we all can find some peace.

I'm in tech. Involuntarily moved to a different team with an entirely different stack for the year. Umm I don't know how to code in their language. I'm expected to just start contributing right away. Like... What? So I have busted my a-s for years here, fixed tons of other peoples' mistakes to keep the lights on before anyone in BL can notice. Always good reviews. Sure people don't like my personality sometimes but you know what I always deliver. If I lead a project it completes on time and on budget while others flail around & never deliver. I've not been promoted in years & my career has stagnated - now this. Go code in this totally unfamiliar stack & fail at it & then come back later to my original team? It's fcking insulting af, there's no way I'll last that long, I'm set-up to fail. This place is so demoralizing & dehumanizing I should have bolted long ago but now... The economy is so flooded by laid-off Americans due to Indian replacement & outsourcing to India (& they only hire other Indians, happened to me even internally wheh I foolishly tried to help myself to move-up) I'll likely never be an engineer again or have any kind of financial security. This su-ks. It's worse for the MANAGERS they picked for this who are now listed as line engineers on the project. I can't even imagine their headspace right now. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE THIS OTHER TEAM'S PROJECTS WTF. I'm going to try to make it work by focusing-on aspects of their tech I do know, but jesus this is senselessly stressful & I can't help but look at it as anything other than pushing me out by claiming I couldn't contribute enough - because I don't know the fcking stack. Just outrageous shenanigans here. I'm so sc--wed.

They only rely on layoffs and cost cuts and then they wonder why the stock keeps going down. Can we get some competent people in charge, please?

This is crazy 25% of my team on OT was wiped out. Even offshore employees were let go. I'm guessing they will be replaced by bottom of the barrel contractors.

How id everyone else's team doing?

All of senior management. That’s why they are outsourcing

I've lost my voice from p!$$!ng and moaning about losing my job. My fingers are raw and cramped from posting here and on other forums. My extended family won't have anything to do with me. My wife is threatening to leave me! I haven't been able to find another job. What do I do????

For himself and the people behind the curtains. The goal is to strip this thing down to bare minimum costs, maintain a revenue stream and healthy cash flow and dump it off private equity style. He most certainly doesn't work for shareholder or the stock price. The men behind the curtains pull his strings.

Nobody should be surprised Blackbaud is getting worse and worse. You literally have no excuses. Find anything better as soon as you can!

I left years ago and it‘s the best decision I‘ve ever made. Hearing about Mike‘s latest email is awful. You only have yourselves to blame if you keep your head in the sand and think either things will get better or you won’t be affected soon.

Everyone has an expiry date. Don‘t let them trigger it early on their terms.

I’ve participated in ESPP for several years, and the lack of a consistent strategy is becoming hard to ignore.

Leadership keeps reacting on short-term measures instead of planning; repeated layoffs every few months erode trust internally and externally.

It’s time for a proactive plan that lasts longer than a calendar quarter. Credibility matters.

Anyone else up waiting for the impending doom?

The world has changed and Americans now have to compete with global workforce. Now, the global workforce (workforce in India, etc. and H1-Bs in USA) work for much less than what Americans want.

Now, the companies of USA want to increase their profits so they will use cheap labour. They actually don't care about Americans, they only care about their profits and revenues. It is quite evident that the companies want profits even if they have to layoff Americans.

By the way, these all are the side-effects of capitalism.

So, now the only way for Americans to not get laid off is to ask the management to reduce their salary but let them keep their jobs.

Falling stock prices, increasing memories cost, eroding margin, sunset industry for Print, commodisation of PC biz, AI impact, failed business acquisition. HP is facing unprecident challenge across all front. Past earnings and cashflow putting into buying up own shares and increasing dividend is not working. Endless cost cutting through work force reduction and not investing to improve business is eating the company from within.

Rumours have been increasing on company splitting Print and PC up. CEO and multiple C-suite changes/leaving talks had been circulating wild. Staty tune for more cost cutting and business org change.

There appears to have been some layoff today 1/22/26. I still have to find out to what extent!

There is a layoff coming across Optum Health on 1/23. Unsure of size, but believe it to be significant.

All this while M&R “leadership” is at an offsite meeting in Scottsdale staying at the Grand Hyatt ($1K/night). Each attendee received a pair of air pods as an attendee gift, all while merit increased of 1% was announced earlier in the week.

I have heard that more layoffs have started. Can anyone confirm?

The Reality for 2025-2026: As of 2025, UnitedHealth Group (UHG/Optum) owns and operates nearly 2,700 separate sub-companies (legal entities). When an employee hears that 30,000 coworkers are being cut, they expect to see a massive legal alarm or a national news headline. But UHG/Optum rarely triggers one, hence no WARN Act notices, or very rare.

They know the loopholes for unreportable numbers to keep the public, the government, and us employees in the dark.

And ​this doesn't even include the thousands of remote workers. UHG/Optums 'legal' argument is basically there cannot be a 'mass' firing in a single living room.... even if 100 are on a Teams call.

TSEP Town Hall. DD talking a lot about “right sizing” and assessing team’s workloads/team members allocated. Also mentioned as a piece of this year’s strategy- GCC 2.0 (global capability center)- where it improves the onboarding and training for ICC employees.

Literally telling us they will lay off US based workers and outsource the job to India. Good luck everybody
