#uncertainty

Yall are starting to scare me lol.

How has this become the new normal?

Hearing folks are off payroll 7/1. Right or wrong?

Remember that survey we had to fill out? What will be the changes? So many people speculate that Schwab will discontinue the health plan, give people a fixed sum, and let people find their own insurance.

We know the massive charge takes place in 1Q and tomorrow is the last month in the quarter.

Here comes June...

Don't get me wrong, it's still devastating for each of them, and I really feel for those affected. Every job loss hits a family, not just a person. But this wasn't the bloodbath everyone was expecting. Does this mean the big round is still ahead of us?

Oh people are going to be surprised once the news from FT drop. If someone wants to share in detail please be my quest.

Whatever happens, don't blame yourselves. This isn't about you. It's about greed and poor leadership.

Seems like there are big layoffs for tech, rx, all of the non-Optum health areas. Does anyone know if health or care will be impacted this week?

Just the new division?

What happens to ADM if it's not sold?

If we're moving into a phase of quiet, ongoing cuts, that's going to be even more stressful. I can't live every day wondering when the axe drops.

Sounds like it's everywhere. Has any area been spared?

Nothing tomorrow?

At least 22 teachers were laid off from ChiArts. This happened during its transition to Chicago Public Schools management. Affected teachers had to reapply for their jobs. Staff members report poor communication from new leadership. The school's unique model and remaining positions face an uncertain future.

I was just wondering if anyone has heard whether Accredo will also be impacted by the current layoffs at Cigna, or if that area is expected to remain stable for now.

There seems to be a lot of uncertainty, so I thought I would ask in case anyone has heard any updates or information being shared internally.

In the title.

Can we consider ourselves safe if we didn't get anything by now?

While we stay up overnight wondering if we have a job.

For those who keep asking "are layoffs done," the answer is always going to be no. Maybe there won't be many large rounds anymore, but small cuts are happening all the time. Just ask around. We're in the stage where layoffs are just another fact of life.

Good luck all, I know all of us will need it in the coming days.

Has there been a single day in the past 12 months that we didn't have to worry about cuts? I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Even after the cuts are freshly over, we immediately start thinking about the next round, because we all know it's coming. How come we all allowed for this to become the new normal?

The next round won't happen at least for a few months, right?

My department has been told the goal is to “run out of work,” and that we should not be concerned with this. Today we “ran out of work.” Concerned?

Is there any consensus which divisions will be hit the hardest in upcoming merger layoffs? P+ was already decimated rather recently. Thoughts or knowledge on if streaming will be hit hard again? Not sure what to expect with the combining of HBO Max

I just wish this was already over and done with. I’d rather it had happened on Wednesday and I knew one way or another than sit here for days letting my anxiety spiral. This waiting is the worst part of it. I really do think being left in limbo like this is inhumane.

The rumors are already starting. Which department gets cut next round? And when? Anyone heard anything concrete?

With stock price down and merger looming, anyone know if they will start lay offs before merger? What are thoughts on layoffs in next few months?

No change means massive change ahead

or this quarter?

Results seem to be great, so why are we still cutting people? If layoffs are happening while the numbers are good, it makes you wonder how bad things would get for employees if results actually started slipping.

I'm hearing this round is roughly 600 folks. Do we know if everybody has been notified already or if this will continue throughout the week?
