#lookingtoleave

I'd like to finally move on, one way or another.

Any clue if more layoffs are planned?

And I have a feeling I'm not the only one who feels this way. This place has gone from bad to worse faster than I expected. I'd be happy to leave it behind for good.

I've seen too many coworkers get laid off and panic because they'd been out of the hiring game for years. Start looking even if you're staying. Apply, interview, and keep your resume fresh. The worst that happens is you see what's out there. The best is you get an offer you can't refuse. You've got nothing to lose.

I wish somebody had warned me about this before I joined. I came here with hope and now I'm desperate and looking for any way out or I'll stay stuck in the same position forever. 3M is a horrible employer.

Because I've been talking to a lot of people, and that's the impression I got.

Everyone complaining about CareFirst while threatening to quit, yet never following through, and claiming they can find a comparable remote job for the same pay elsewhere is simply blowing smoke.

Good luck to all of you, you're going to need it.

Are there any rumors of fall layoffs after open enrollment? I'm not hearing the usual chatter but it seems to be a yearly event. It also seems to have been unusually long since the round. My mgr asked about my general flight risk in a meeting stating they were assessing the group plans. Is that a normal conversation? Our group is definitely not hiring. If anything it's shifting to more offshore.

At this point we all know several people who've been laid off. Some will tell you where they went and why, however others won't say who hired them. Its not like they're at risk of me stealing their newly acquired job, the only reason I can think of is they don't want a bunch of WF people to get wind of and go to their new company. Just seems crazy in this market to close the door behind you when you were in the same boat as others not too long ago.

This is going to be a fun ride. Bye bye su-kers. And to my management chain I could not hate you more

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

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

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?

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

It's been a pleasure working with you all I had some great times and consider myself an overachiever but these last few months have drained all my energy. I wish everyone the best, specially those that stay behind. Over and out.

And it never gets easier. I'm now almost hopeful about getting laid off just to put a stop to it. Almost.

Can't keep up any more. Any one have advice on job market situations.. How to move on fron here...

I didn't take the VSP because I didn't have any other income or enough in my savings to last and that vsp money could only last so long. I didn't think I'd find a job by September as we all presumed initially everyone who took the vsp would be gone by then. The involuntary layoffs have already taken place on my team. I feel guilty that I dont feel more relieved than I thought I would. The environment has changed and it is not the same as it use to be. I am not optimistic at all about Centene's future. Not to mention that we will now be more overloaded with work than ever before for those left here. I naturally want to apply out but feel obligated to stay because that couldve been someone else's job. Anyone else relate?

This just isn't a serious place of work anymore. Where should I go next? Amazon? CapitalOne? If you're smart and hard working where would you go?

I'm tired of the antics.

I’m getting nowhere, looking outside of Ford.

That seems to be the only way out of this mess that's even a bit positive at this point.

Who's hoping they are on the list?

I keep looking for a new job but no luck yet. One day I'll get out on my own terms and leave this place in the dust!

Get out while you can!!

Three months out and I'm a different person. I should have made this move years ago.

The leadership is driving this company into the ground. I know people say the grass isn't always greener, but at this point, I'm not sure it could be worse. I just need a way out, even if it comes with less pay. I don't give a damn anymore.

I've been scanning other banks on this site, and it's discouraging. Everyone seems to be dealing with the same issues, from layoffs, to toxicity, to bad leadership. I want out, but I don't want to jump from one dumpster fire to another. Is there actually a better alternative out there, or is this just what the industry has become?

Am I safe in the next few rounds? Anyone has similar experience?

What’s with all these posts/comments telling people to “leave the company” while the same people stay glued to their own seats? As if telling others to quit somehow protects them from annual layoff statistics. It doesn’t. Even people in NSI rank (knowing most outcomes are already decided) trying to hang on in this brutal job market.
Reality check: no matter your “position,” always keep your options and network open. Look for better opportunities so you’re the one choosing your next move, not waiting for someone else to choose it for you. And when something better, whatever “better” means to you shows up, take it.

People I respected, and people who seemed happy until a few years ago. It tells you a lot about how much this place has changed in just a few short years. Even I'm starting to look at my options, and I've been at Optum for more than fifteen years. This is simply not the same company I joined.

If, after all this, Monday comes and I find out I got refused, I think I'm just going to up and quit. I can't handle the mind games this place has been playing with us for months. I guess that could've been their goal, and I hate to say it, but it worked on me. I'm leaving one way or another.

Why are people still working for Phillips 66. No one is making any one of us to stay!

Are you staying @VZ because you believe in the company or because you don't have another option?

it's all about fear now. no respect, no loyalty from mgmt.

and it's about to get even worse.

i'm unsure what to do. it looks like switching industries would probably make the most sense for me.

i'm not affected, but i'd hate to live in perpetual fear of the proverbial axe.

peace out.

If you are leaving Centene which new industries are you looking at? Or are you staying in health care in one capacity or another? I am concerning leaving health care.

This is just a general question for retail workers, especially Sams Club workers. As a long time associate, I have never entertained the idea of leaving until the last few years. However being there for as long as I have, with established vacations, and PTO, and of course insurance, it feels as if my hands are tied and I should just su-k it up. I am not happy as to the way the direction of this company has gone, or the leadership within the walls of my store. I don't want to sound like a je-k, but I feel as if I so much better then where I am currently stuck at. That I am wasting possible untapped potential. I know that many of you probably know the feeling or may be struggling with the same internal fight. To take a leap into the unknown feels a bit scary, since I am unsure of what to go into next? But I also know that I am suffocating where I am at. And don't want my life to pass me by, knowing I could have been more. Has anyone here successfully navigated away from Sams Club? To put into context, I am a 22 year associate.

The smartest thing anyone can do right now is spend their spare time looking for a new job. The people who don't are going to be caught off guard when things get even worse.
