#uncertainty

I’m trying to be positive, but it makes it hard to do anything right now. Why would I try and “fill my funnel” if I could be doing it for someone else right now. This company seems to be ran by what seems is a startup, trying to figure things out rather than the supposed #1 telecom company in the USA. At least with Verizon they were open about what they were doing and ripped the bandaid quick. Over here it’s like a hush hush game. All I know is if certain members of my org are still here after all the cuts, and I’m talking about high ankles pants himself, which caused the chaos of our channel, then I know this is all bullsh-t.

Any idea if the Feb JEs will involve low performers OR specific functions (e.g product mgt, QE, project mgt…)?

I'm hearing everything from Tuesday/Wednesday this week to cuts starting on the 20th. Can anybody say with certainty what the date is?

Does anyone have visibility of how far along is the offer process. It's the second week of Jan, are we at the point where all first round offers out and we are dealing with second choice and separation? Anyone getting communication this week?

I can’t wait to nab one of them cushy wfh jobs.

Anyone else get told not to come into the office the rest of the week? I was given no reason at all for this and when i asked my manager, I get a" I don't know why "as a response.

Any info on Uhc side?

Job changes? Lay offs? When will we know.

An honest question.

I've heard some whispers that there shouldn't be any layoffs at least until the next quarter. I don't know if it's true, but thought I'd share just in case. If anybody knows more, let us know.

Please share if you know anything.

When will we get a chance to breathe again? To just focus on our work without having to worry about what is going to be thrown our way next? I'm getting really tired of this cr-p.

Are we certain it's done? Any chances of more next week?

With the uncertainty within the federal sector and new PEGA trial, how soon before layoffs are announced?

Other posts have the rest of the info, but I want people to know that some locations that were supposed to get letters did not get letters Friday. Some people say its because the locations weren't ready for more people, so if someone thought you were getting a letter but did not... you are not now "safe". When the location you were supposed to go to gets some construction...be ready.

I can deal with mass layoffs. I can't deal with this guessing game and back and forth on whether it's happening.

J back from her vacation this Friday after a tiring last year. This year it will be more tiring for her , the first layoff starts in March

After the demand centers close up, reorg/shuffling will be discussed by SVPs. This doesn’t necessarily mean layoffs.

Hearing the next big move is in April, and it’s big news. I’m sure a someone knows more than I, please share.

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

Companies are frozen by tariff uncertainty and AI expectations, while workers are stuck in a job market with very little hiring or firing. New figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show the hiring rate has dropped to 3.2%, the lowest in more than a decade, apart from the pandemic period.

What happens when they start delaying payments? Asking for a friend

What's up with the stock price? Everyone seems to be doing good

I mean, I'm being sarcastic. But not really. And these are coming after considerable reductions. I was hoping, naively, that we might get some respite. Foolish.

Doomed

Are the rumors true that all the integration work with LEX has stopped for now whilst we calculate if we can still pay debts and do business. And before any bot responds about listening to rumors, coz there is no leadership or clear communication this is what happens - rumors are all we have

Former TMO here who wanted to leave this tip: Check your Workday Documents to see if you still have a future with big Pink. Happy New Year!

Lately, all my main projects have been canceled or pushed aside. My boss has stopped checking in, and other people are being handed responsibilities that used to be mine. If you've been in the workforce for a while, you learn to recognize these signals. My gut is telling me that my job is at risk.

“HAPPY” New Year… or not, we will see. With the holidays wrapping up, it seems inevitable that all of the layoffs and reductions will start ramping up now seeing that all of the decision makers are back at work after the holiday.

Any ideas what depts will be impacted first? All we know if from the info shared on the all employee call is that Freier’s group (consumer) is “up first…”

I wish the best outcome for everyone during this poor-feeling time of uncertainty.

Is there any chance we get a quiet week or two without nasty surprises?

I honestly can’t imagine the cuts won’t spread and get even worse next year. I’m not exactly crazy about my job, but options out there are pretty limited.

I’ve kind of gotten used to expecting bad news every day, but it would be good to know whether we at least have another couple of weeks without cuts.

I'm getting so tired of this. People are on edge because nobody knows what’s coming next, and that uncertainty is starting to show everywhere. Teams feel disconnected, communication keeps breaking down, and everyone’s spending more time speculating than actually getting work done. Is this our new normal?

Looks like 272 were escorted out in Sept. 2025. There are at least this amount again planned for 2026 according to news..
Looks like stock (BC) is growing slowly, but 2026 senior notes buyback not a good sign.

I'm asking specifically about the more layoffs early next year part.

In the last couple of weeks, two senior managers on my floor have left voluntarily. Their departures weren't part of any announced layoff, and they both gave standard notice. The fact that senior-level people are choosing to leave so closely together has sent a wave of concern through our team. It makes you wonder what they might know about the company's future plans that hasn't been shared with the rest of us. Is this a sign of things to come?

11 posts in a row with nothing really about layoffs. I made thru 25. I know there’s stuff brewing for 26, but I’m not sure how it’s all going shake out. AI and automation are going to play a big role in change. Just not sure what that looks like.

Anyone hear anything?

Or are there going to be layoffs before that? If anyone has credible updates, please share.
