#rif

In every company that I have ever worked for, my focus has always been advocating for the customer, whether that be in new product development, maintenance of existing products, resolving issues that are encountered, or being available when the customer needed help.

I have had the pleasure/joy over my career of having worked at companies that had this same value set. It was vital that the customer knew that he could trust us to do him right

While at F5, I continued the value set of advocating for the customer, however I soon learned that this was not the value set of F5. I continually encountered strong resistance. Premature release of software, software that was buggy and customer sub cases that were ignored to name a few.

Since my RIF, I have interviewed with many companies and to date haven’t found one that places the customer first. It’s about stock price and revenue. And after F5, I choose not to work in that type of environment again.

I have a question over the benefits that Citigroup offers staff being laid off due to a Reduction In Force (RIF). I have heard that everyone keeps two weeks pay for each year that worked at Citigroup, but are there any other benefits offered as part of their package? What healthcare (medical) benefits are being made available? Only COBRA, or is does medical benefits continue for some time as part of the Garden Leave requirement? How about the bank annual 401K contribution, if I was to be RIF between November 2025 to February 2026, would Citigroup make any kind of contribution into my 401K in March 2026? Thanks in advance,

Out of work for over 8 months, and it’s hard out there.

I had a number of interviews where I lost out to an internal candidate…

when I really thought I was going to be hired. I came back, managed to secure a substantial pay increase in the process.

I took the job without hesitation, after being out in a very tough job market. > 50, > 20 years in…. I have a radically different view now of this place.

I’m going to just try to hang on until retirement, I will move afterwards 2 years into a different position, no more loyalty to the area I work in.

We can’t possibly have another level up while riffing at the same time…can we?

How are these generally handled during reduction in force? Are they prorated?

Or are we still in rumorland? I’ve been hearing similar things, but nothing certain.

15% RIF across the board, notice on Nov 20, off payroll Dec 19 is what we were told.
OP: @d5+1k89bz5ta

Buh bye

10/23 notification date

Many organizations impacted

Good luck to all .

Especially the useless top gear Dir/VPs being thrown out?

bad stock performance and poor earnings are driving the layoffs. 10-15% cut.

Has anyone ever successfully sued and won after being Irif'd? Out the 81 people released last week, only 9 were under 40.

Does anybody have any word on layoffs in the services group at UOP? Have heard rumors that China and India offices have RIF’d. Additionally, some U.S. FOS advisors have been told to return to the office before October 24th.

If you have any questions about GP/TSYS feel free to ask here.
Every town hall we’ve had this year they’ve given strict direction to NOT speak to anyone from FIS regarding the Global Payments/TSYS Issuing divestiture.
We also went through a massive McKinsey overhaul all year and what a disaster it has been. RIFs around every corner and most of us have had the same anxiety about “when will it be my turn” all year. The guy who was leading that effort from McKinsey is now the CTO of GP real interesting how that worked out…
We are not hiring stateside anymore, it’s either India which also seems rare these days, or Phillipines.

Looks like a couple people are being trimmed from most teams across multiple office locations. Charlotte, Saint Louis, Denver, Stamford. This just came out of nowhere. No severance offered to the people I've talked to who were randomly fired either.

All areas in Optum insight are impacted, each team is looking at a 10-20% reduction. 10/30 is the date, but due to the number of people, may have to do it in waves.

Point32Health, the state’s second largest health insurance company, is eliminating 254 jobs in its second workforce reduction of the year. The layoffs will impact approximately 6.5% of Point32’s workforce.

Those of us impacted by the FIS sale, please be aware that FIS is scheduled for a major reduction in force on November 19th. Word is this will include many of us that were hoping for a stable place to land.
The wonderful company we work for is also about to make another cut. Some managers met yesterday, other meetings will be held this week. It doesnt look good. So glad I started applying to other places. I am done with this bs.

I wanted to see if it is me or if HCSC is really that disorganized in getting these two items taken care of for those of us that have been recently RIF'd. I am a REMOTE worker who was RIF'd back on 9/24/2025. I was curious if there are others experiencing the same as me. The contacts we were told to work with keep telling me it is coming.... We are almost at the one month mark and I have yet to get either below via mail, UPS, or even FedEx.

1. I have yet to receive any instruction from the transition team or IT telling me how to return my laptop.
2. I have yet to receive any instructions on how to apply for COBRA. We are less than 2 weeks from the end of our medical coverage.

Just curious if others are experiencing the same or if I should begin trying to get the information in other ways.

FLD - You Have A Decision To Make By The End Of October 2025

Do you continue the financial charades to keep the stock price up for maybe another 6 to 8 months, or do you do what is necessary to make F5 a world class Security Firm.

There are many of us that were RIFd over the last many years that would like to come back and make F5 a world class Security Firm.

Wait longer than 10 days and it will be beyond the timeline to make F5 a world class Security Firm.

Another big beautiful LR is in the works?!!?? HR is singing their happy songs and internal leadership is buzzing with excitement as they get to destroy more lives just in time for the holidays! Oh happy happy joy joy, but when will Chuck Robbins and his gang of merry Indian H1-B Visa dwarfs get the axe? Instead they get big bonuses and promotions. While American citizens get stomped on again by Cisco.

I have noticed that paying for the balance of remaining days off is something that they do not like
If you remember there was a strange shutdown in the middle of the year that they forced on us before doing that monster LR like an year ago.

It is highly probable that they will again do it in Jan/Fen and not in Nov.
Any thoughts ?

VBG here and I was told next big notification for most groups will be 3rd week in November with December 19th off payroll and 2 weeks per year with a cap.
RIF will hit non directional centers worse than three main campuses as the march to have those be the big three plays out. If they haven’t named your center explicitly as directional your time has come.

Bumping this to the top for info. OP is @z5+1k7jqjqqb.

Just heard at a party last night that they are getting rid of even more people next week than they did last week. My understanding is that the economy is about to make a very huge and very drastic U-TURN after a HUGE announcement about someone in power.

Once that happens, all heel will break lose and Brian will have to accelerate his RIF plans.

This came from a very trusted source!

What exactly does the severance include and is there a max? Is it 2 weeks for every year of service? What’s the max amount of weeks they’ll give? 50? Do they also give bonus and stocks?

Supposedly it was going to be a day or two affair. Now it looks like this will drag on for more than two months, and that’s if we’re lucky.

Any details on what happened today?

I’m hearing a lot of rumors about possible RIFs at Verizon, and I’m wondering if anyone knows whether remote or hybrid employees could be more at risk. Do you think Verizon might target work-from-home employees first, or is that just speculation?

I’d like to hear what others are seeing in their groups and whether RTO status is actually a factor when it comes to layoffs.

That’s insane if true. Can anyone confirm or share details? This is beyond alarming. Good luck to all of us.

14K (20% of the corporation) laid off today or the coming days. All segments, all areas of work.

Anyone with experience relating to this? Who makes the final call? Who puts the names on the list?

Keep value segment and RIFs the Verizon teams. We have and will always be better than verizon. They want to pretend they know or understand what we do and Clearly they know nothing about prepaid. Heck, they can't get even get their Accounting system synchronized to be ran soley by Verizon..very telling of how incompetent Verizon is..they need us not the other way around.

Heard the Plymouth Aero site in Minneapolis area announced a RIF today. Anyone hear of other sites doing the same?

Im seeing posts about this but no departments or business groups named. Im guessing no one really knows and its speculation based on past years? We can only hope for another VSP.

Hard to stay engaged with so many changes looming.

RIFS are happening this week they started today.

A commenter in another post said they would announce a RIF in the quarterly update. Anyone know anything?

say 3rd qtr meetings are combining with rif informs. Incoming!! Get your affairs in order
