#suddenmeeting

First time this has happened, in the middle of the week. Is this something to be concerned over, considering there are no active layoffs currently?

9am meeting was just put on the calendar for tomorrow. How bad do we think the cuts are going to be?

Every time there is a calendar invite from leadership, it feels ominous. Are we looking at another round of layoffs soon?

Did anyone hear of layoffs in Optum for tomorrow 2/26? Just had a 15 min meeting invite added to my calendar for tomorrow morning.

As of today, 2/18/2026, several Director level and above were laid off in DFW, Clinic Ops. Invitations were emailed for a “Leadership Touchbase” tomorrow morning. One invitation is for 7:45 a.m. and the other is for 8:00 a.m. For those who have made it through multiple layoffs over the past 3 years, we know what those two invitations mean. Additional clinic consolidations have already been announced, and the entire DFW market will soon only consist of about 40 Primary Care clinics. Fewer clinics means fewer employees. This is a last ditch effort to slow the bleeding before WellMed goes belly up.

Can anyone confirm this rumor?

There is now a PTG all-hands meeting sent out today for 8:35AM EST on 2/24.

I have a bad gut feeling about this. Too many layoff announcement red flags (meeting time, date).

kev!n has a leadership call sched early next wk

shoe dropping b4 that call bcoz he announce go forward path on that call to his managers only not all ppl invited only mgrs

get ready

How were people notified when laid off? I just received a meeting invite from the dept manager and director. No mention of HR in the invite though....

Hands up if you have an unexpected meeting schedule for tomorrow morning….. 🙋🏽

Just received a short business update 15 minute meeting maker for tomorrow morning at 8am (ET). Why am I supposed to be in early just to get laid off? I'm assuming this is the end of this specific office building. Buildings in our complex have been in the process of being torn down for over a year anyway so why not this one. Peace out.

If you see a mysterious 15-30 min meeting request by a VP pr SVP pop up on your calendar last minute, in the early morning, you're being laid off. They are there to let you know the news, thank you and verify your external email address..Expect to be disconnected within 60-9o minutes.

It's in 30 minutes. Am I as good as gone? Is this how they're notifying people? Is there any chance it could be something else?

Due to “unforeseen circumstances”

Got a 15min organizational update from someone that's not my supervisor. I think this is it.

For those who got the layoff news: how did it come? Was it a sudden calendar invite for a one-on-one, or an email, or something else? Trying to know what to watch for.

Anyone else get the EMCO touch base call this afternoon?

Does anyone know what the all Leadership meeting before the all employee meeting is about today?

Did I miss something? Was this announced? Expected? I feel sick to my stomach because I honestly had no idea this was coming today.

My boss scheduled a last minute meeting for tomorrow with no context. I have no idea what it's about and I'm pretty nervous. This rarely leads to good news.

I thought this would be done today?

Has anyone else’s group been informed about a meeting this coming meeting with no information on what it is about. The superintendents didn’t even let the foreman know what’s going on. This is in the Permian

Looks like there are more calls. 12:30 and 1:00. Just labeled touch base and from Sr. Dir. Anyone else have any thoughts on what this might be? I’m thinking explanation of what’s going on followed by the new org structure?

Any news?

Just got a meeting request for changes to the organisation that may affect my employment.

Fu-k.

RTO with clients that have signed $80m this year and convinced to go to vcf9.

Disappointed

Anyone here heard of a RIF tomorrow or have any last minute meetings added to their calendar?? TIA

I checked my sups calendar, sm, and ad
My sup's day off is today 11/19
She along with the chain in command had a 15 min meeting today from 10-10:15a eastern.
I checked the director's and she did not have it on her schedule to attend.

This coincides with what others have been saying about 10am meetings.

Got a webex invite from my manager for tomorrow 10 am.

Anyone have any idea what this is coming at 1600 today? (Tues 11/18/25)

Just randomly popped on my calendar, zero context or clues. No message or agenda included.

I don’t know if that means I’m on the chopping block or safe or maybe they are gonna offer me a different position if riffed

Following today's announcement, I am seeking clarification regarding Thursday's schedule. I observed that two individuals, including myself, are not scheduled for a 15-minute meeting, while three colleagues and my Associate Director are scheduled for such a meeting around 1:00 p.m., and another meeting at 3:45 p.m. Has there been any communication regarding the purpose of these two meetings, or do they signify a potential change in my employment status? I would appreciate any insights from an Associate Director or Senior Director. Thank you in advance.

I saw an armed policeman on the upper floor of the cube. I noticed him still there couple of hours later. I asked some people in my class about what he could be doing there.
One guy said the policeman stops every person that goes to the elevator and checks if there name is on a list.
There was obviously such an important meeting at the top level of the cube that employees were not allowed on the same floor as the meeting.

What are they discussing such that an armed guard is required to keep employees off that whole floor?

The mystery meeting is happening this Thursday! Nobody knows what it’s about, but the calendar invite came with no agenda and an unusually cheerful emoji from HR, never a good omen. Rumor has it the CEO will kick things off with some lighthearted jokes about the recent security breaches (classic comedy material!) and that tiny 30% drop in share prices last week. Just a “market correction,” right? Could be layoffs, could be free snacks, maybe both! It’s the corporate Hunger Games, but with spreadsheets. Bring your best smile. It might be your last official company photo.

Any ideas what this meeting is about?

Got a meeting invite at 3pm on a Friday at the end of November. Should I be worried??

Anyone else have an ad-hoc 1:1 with their manager?

Just got a note to meet up with my manager tomorrow. Is the axe about to drop…. Anyone else get impromptu meetings set up for tomorrow? In cloud.

Providers were told of a meeting today, just yesterday. Most were let go, others moved to other clinics.
