#rumor

Lots of rumors around today. Can we use this thread for updates?

I heard they will target higher ups, level 6 and above. Can anyone confirm?

When is the next layoff for ATT?

The "Ask your supervisor" guy/gal - please don't response.

That this blog is senseless. All the talk about the benefits being slashed… woohoo… no such change! Things don’t have to be as bad as you make them.

Streaming has been heavily hit. Will it be hit heavily again 2nd round?

Does anyone have inside info on whether Emerson will be laying off same huge number of employees like other big tech companies?

Are we sure today will be the main day?

So which one will it be?

BG&E buys PE Maryland

Dominion buys MP and FEPA

JCP&L merges with a local "waste management" operator for investment opportunities.

someone posted the other day that rick gomez was part of the cuts. Vendor community just recieved an email from him about Moving forward at Target

Any one have news on layoffs in BALA departments?

Any word on the untalented and overpaid people of consumer products?

Any confirmation of layoffs within home and community on 10/30?

Brace yourselves.

Soooo...is this a good indicator of a big layoff?

Seem like no programs at Gilbert so layouts will be hapening and over staffed programs

Is arbroath Scotland still the jewel in the crown all quiet there nowadays

The reorg seems big, but there was no clarification whether there will be layoffs or not.

Can someone well-informed please comment?

Allegedly half, around 7,500 people, were notified yesterday. Are they aiming for 14,000 total in this round, or will it continue in January?

Halloween has traditionally been a time of amped-up attacks and other bad stuff from SoMo. Last year a coworker was sent a Halloween card and Snickers bar by interoffice. It was made to look like it came from one of our other teammates in Denver but we all know better now. She made a terrible scream like I never heard before and when I went over to her cube her mouth was bleeding profusely. There was a razor blade in her candy bar. She needed stitches in her tongue and her palate and under her tongue. It was bad.

Just in the last two days I've heard
A) 20% reduction in managers by end of year
B) all projects on hold due to disastrous quarter

Hearing mumbling that dozens of positions are set for layoffs between Health Solutions and Carelon case management this week. Does anyone have more concrete information on this?

Is this confirmed?

Will be happening in December. Email just sent out this afternoon for Performance Management self input opening on 11/3 and closing on 11/28. Manager feedback opens on 11/29
OP: @141+1k84xsa9e

I’ve seen a few posts from folks saying they’ve received them already. Isn’t it a bit early? Then again, management can always change tactics.

Given the big announcement by Amazon today with their layoffs, and our leadership change on the way.

Do you think we will see any layoffs in Q2?

If so, that’s a real bummer. No end to the peak anxiety.

how are these areas not impacted?

Do we know what time the meeting is rumored to be? I have heard to check for an invite between 7-8am or it could come earlier. I have also heard you will get a different invite if you are safe… does anyone know if that’s true? Are you getting a meeting put on your cal regardless of the outcome? Or would that meeting be later in the day and be the “announcement” of the restructure?

Is tomorrow is the day?

My wife works in Amazon corporate real estate. The Arlington HQ hasn’t met expectations in population, productivity or contribution. Jassey is going to wind it down in the next 6 months.

Do we think there are going to be any layoffs at CBS???

Is there any truth to rumors of a 10/30 layoff? Optum site is reporting one.

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
Though sporadic layoff may still happen as HR is giving managers a chance to get rid of their eye sores.

We’d probably know more by now, or at least I hope so. I could use a little more time. I got an offer for another job. Nothing spectacular, but considering how things are going here, even a so-so alternative looks better right now. I hope you’re all looking at exit options too. The market’s rough, it takes time, effort, and a lot of luck. Don’t wait for these people to catch you with your pants down.

Since the “no” group will be laid off first, is it possible the severance pot could severely be depleted by them, because the group may be larger than originally anticipated by IOL? I feel like I'm playing Squid game.

Not in this economy, and not with the job market the way it is. So please, share credible information or at least somewhat reliable rumors. We’re all in this together. Most of us would rather have a heads-up, but nobody wants to get worked up week after week over layoffs that aren’t actually happening.
