#layoffs

Sarah London was never qualified to run a publicly traded company, let alone one of such prominence. She got the position through a combination of family legacy, connections, and luck (passing of the former CEO). It is evident through recent events that she had no strategy to weather the current social, political, and technological environment. She has put employees out of work, destroyed the legacy of a great company and moreover is harming its patients, the American people. The Board should step in and fire her immediately. There are much better leaders out there.

Was told by Kiker direct that BCMs moving to business and control will have centralized oversight and closer engagement with second line. Makes sense and just like other efficiencies, this is going to have staff reduction to weed out all the unnecessary layers with control.

Been going around that she is very upset that her saying that we should ignore the presence reports got out on the interwebs. I guess her freeeloader remark didn’t land well.

Funny, none of these people were all that upset when the company scr_wed with the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people with the RTO layoffs and relocations. Just business. Now they’re aghast when dirty laundry is aired in public.

If you don’t want leaks just treat people with decency and respect. It’s not all that hard

With a decent severance to bridge me over, I’d take it. I’ve had enough of this company. After some time here you eventually hit a wall without even realizing it, and there’s no real path forward after that. The job market isn’t great right now, but staying here doesn’t feel like much of a boon anymore. Whatever the rumors turn out to be, I truly hope those who need the job get to keep it. But for me, walking away and leaving this place in the rearview would be a relief.

Kelsey Seybold Clinic which recently integrated with Optus had its first round of layoff on 09/18.. Ops affected. Not sure of the total no. Laid off

Comcast is planning to cut jobs at its biggest unit that houses its Xfinity internet, mobile and pay television business, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday, as the company attempts to centralize operations and bolster its broadband business.

Starting January, Comcast will remove a layer between the corporate and regional offices, a shake-up that will streamline the management of the unit but also reduce headcount.

Any clue? I doubt it changes what’s coming at the end of October, but it’d still be good to know. Honestly, I’m starting to feel like leadership doesn’t have a real plan and is just scrambling to prop up the stock. If that’s true, it’s not going to end well for us.

All of night shift for Intelliserv at the Cedar Park location was laid off last week.

Does anyone have any new information?

From Christine Guerrero's twitter: Check on your friends in oil & gas. Many aren’t doing well. This from a friend at BP today. https://x.com/SheDrills/status/1969053712514494535

This place would lay off a man on life support if it meant another dime for the shareholders. That’s the culture. Maybe I’ll be gone soon enough myself, but I sure as he-l hope the suits upstairs get a taste of the same when their time comes. No one escapes forever. Not even them.

VP-level executives and above were assessed confidentially by the HR department in preparation for the next round of workforce reductions. According to a credible source, the evaluation considered factors such as salary ranges, employee engagement results, documented HR complaints about leadership behavior, and potential organizational liability. Multiple lawsuits tied to leadership actions have already been filed, creating significant financial and reputational risk for the company.

When will the second shoe drop?

What do you think about the future at GPU design team that builds both integrated and discrete GPUs?
I always thought it is very safe. Does it change after yesterday's announcement?

Software Engineers, Managers, Directors - how many are affected?

One of the EVP is very close to me and mentioned that they plan to move the entire BDR functionality to India. There are over 200 BDRs in the states and Canada. Wonder what will happen to them.

We are all highly compensated. Do not let lifestyle creep affect you. I've been able to support a spouse that doesn't work and two kids off of my salary. At the same time, I've maxed out the 401k, IRAs and saved a full year of expenses. Do the same and these layoffs won't be painful. We all know another one is coming before we know it. Don't be a statistic.

Case management here. Had stand in sup review some time management issues with me, which I have corrected. A few days later I get told I'm being written up for poor audit proformance. The audit looked sketchy, was not in any format I've ever seen and made it look like I hadn't done 80% of my job, even though all documents where in place. I advised sup of this w proof of work and they looking into it. I've been here a while and come to terms that I might be part of layoffs one day and prepared mentally for it. I haven't prepared mentally for being fired out of the blue though. Anyone experiencing this or got any feedback? Thanks

Is vue being absorbed by corporate and will this result in more lay offs?

As if numbers are all that matter. They’re not. Every single cut is someone’s livelihood, and it impacts their family too. I’m venting because I keep hearing people dismiss smaller rounds as if they don’t matter. They do. Whether it’s five or five hundred, all layoffs are worth reporting, worth talking about, and worth caring about.

• RTI International cut 120 jobs Thursday, including 75 in North Carolina.

Ok so if this comes in I see it will be the end to H1Bs for Oracle. May be this explains part of the rif with advance heads up from LEs pals in the WH. It’s just a poison pill costing business valuable talent.

Quarterly converstations seem very pressuring to step up more or your out. Putting alot of pressure on you. Seems like they are preparing for who they want to push out the door.
Is any other store "salary" employee feel the same?

absolutely brutal news out of pwc middle east this morning. they’ve announced that 66 zero partners and about 1,500 staff are being let go immediately.

the knee-je-k reaction is that it’s because of the pif ban. people assume that restriction is the trigger. but i believe it’s more complicated. yes, pif matters for every major management consulting firm. but the real story is about the market changing.

the market is contracting. clients are realizing what ai can do. broadly speaking, clients now want to build their own in-house consulting capacity. the cost difference between hiring someone internally versus using an external consultant is massive. they know they need those skills on their own teams. so why keep hiring outside help?

there is a definite shift. on paper, the advisory market in the middle east should be growing. i did a video recently pointing out that the projection was roughly 13 % year-on-year growth. last year saudi spent about 4 billion on consultants. this year should be 4 billion plus 13 %. something never quite added up, and this feels like validation.

pwc grew rapidly from around 2015 to 2025. they won nearly every big transformation project tied to vision 2030. but nobody thought that kind of scale would be sustainable forever. you can’t run project management offices for a decade and expect everything to stay the same.

now pwc is being forced to pull back. the layoffs are brutal, and i deeply sympathize with everyone affected. but cutting that many people is not done lightly or cheaply. clearly they’ve run the numbers: weigh the cost of layoffs now against the upside of operating leaner during slower growth.

i’ve also heard a rumor that another big four firm is going to announce something similar very soon. i won’t name names, but expect this wave to spread. it’s not just the big four—more consulting firms will feel this squeeze.

crazy times. if you’re being affected or know people who are, reach out. maybe we can build a group to help each other through this. i’d love to hear your take.

I just wanted to provide my experience as someone who has been "ISPed." While I can appreciate the capability to look for a role (whether in Jones or outside) and get paid (something you probably wouldn't get anywhere else...which helps), from my perception things are literally a "free for all." So what I mean by that is everyone, whether ISP or not has probably been impacted. Moved to another location, new role, demotion, I've heard loss of pay in some instances, etc. So everyone is shell shocked to all fu-k and just not happy...period. Morale is a total sh-t show and people are still swirling in what the new world will look like so not much productivity seems to be happening.

So where I am going with all this is the people that are not ISP'ed are storming the gates for these new jobs and those that are ISP'ed are getting shut out. I cannot say any more than that but I truly wish all of you who are impacted the best. If you do have an opportunity to stay on then I hope you are treated with the respect you deserve.

Take care all and best wishes.

The response by these dipsh-ts is comedy. Almost seems like they are trying to cover up another massive mistake they made with this Shai-Hulud response. Too bad none of the incompetent workers will be laid off, only those with a brain and those that speak the truth will be laid off.

Another day watching the stock tank. The street must be catching wind of what turmoil exists internally with employees and no clear strategy/leadership. I was Riff'd about 2 weeks ago and know many great employees that took the ERP. Louisville can be considered a "big city" but it's more of a "big community". Word spreads fast when there's this much dissatisfaction. So unfortunate for a company that had promise and a purpose, (not financially driven) many years ago.

Craig Ryan -Elevance VP was just awarded more stock options in early September, Perhaps a reward for leading the mass layoffs?

within DSE we had 4 eliminated roles this week, one person forced out (morale is super low). What’s happening in the other parts of tech?

Get affairs in order and start looking for other roles.

How many of us nursing recruiters were let go today? This is such bullsh-t. No performance plan my entire 6 year career but I get let go out of nowhere today for under performing??? Make it make sense. And thanks for the 2 weeks severance. F this place

Well it’s been 5 years since Paul broke his promise to over 500 loyal employees. Hope everyone is where they want to be. I’ve stayed in touch with half a dozen of my friends and most are doing ok. Three, myself included have retired and three have found a new job. How is everyone else doing?

On Monday end of day I was let go. They realignment of management will happen soon if not already.
I'm not authorized per my basically golden parachute to go into major details but I will anyways but not release who I am.
All teams will be no larger than 8. Some might be smaller and other rolls that entire teams did will be offloaded to other teams removing the fat from the organization. This will be hush hush as they move forward. They will be evaluating folks currently to see who is at the top of the list and who is at the bottom of the list.

The company appears to be in a state of decline, with leadership frequently chasing the latest industry trends. Every few months, there’s a shift in direction and new sets of goals, often driven more by buzzwords than by long term strategy. It can be frustrating and sometimes even amusing to watch leadership make decisions based on vendor pitches, despite lacking hands-on experience themselves.

Strategic direction often changes based on which vendor a VP has a relationship with. Microsoft is currently the favored trend, but just a few months ago, it was all about "prompting." These cycles repeat, creating instability.

Benefits are decent, but be cautious getting sick can be expensive. PTO is generous, and pay can be competitive depending on your role and negotiation. However, layoffs happen regularly, roughly every six months, with many roles increasingly offshored to Allstate India, which probably accounts for over 50% of the IT staff.

The company is heavily focused on “cloud” and “AI” at the moment. Overall, I’d rate it an average workplace, it’s a place where you do your job, keep your head down, and hope to stay employed. Tenure doesn’t offer much protection. If your views don’t align with the ever changing corporate vision, you may find yourself out.

If you’re hired, my advice is: agree with leadership, reinforce their ideas, and avoid pushing back, your opinion won’t carry much weight. On the positive side, there are solid opportunities to improve your skills through a strong internal training ecosystem.
