Not giving much details (not that I have many) but have any other orgs received meetings with SF and others tomorrow/this week?

I’m tired boss.

What is happening with union efforts? Haven’t seen any posts here in a while talking about new branches, contracts signed, etc…. Whats the dilly?

Its been over a week, and I am no where near making a decision. Over 15 years at this company...kids, mortgage...this is horrifying... If we sign - and then get cut - at least we get something - but if dont sign - and they decide to cut us - we got nothing? is that right?

Do you know someone who has?

Can we relax, or will layoffs continue today?

So many shakeups among the leadership over the years and things keep getting worse. It's like we're incapable of bringing in or selecting people who are actually capable of leading.

does anyone have insight into how many H-contracts were not renewed due to policy changes?

please don't turn this into a political vitriol; I'm asking a serious question.

how much trouble is Centene in?

AT&T is headed in the same direction; how long it will take no one can be sure. I really want to take the annuity. A monthly deposit is extremely comforting to me. Am I being foolish in thinking AT&T will honor this final commitment? What happened to MCI Worldcom's payouts?

So I’ve been hearing that we are no longer going to service independent stores ? Has anyone had this happened in their region ? Mostly Hispanic stores in my area that are considered d stores

I've been watching things deteriorate for a while now and it's very clear it's getting messier and more chaotic by the day. And I don't see it getting better any time soon. I think the best thing anyone can do is walk away. There's no future here.

Is that how notifications are going out?

Anybody else have their Co-Pilot surreptitiously shut down?

AI first right?!

I would love some honest comms. Just tell us the truth, or is the truth too scary..?

If not enough offers are accepted.

I've been applying for two months and haven't heard back from anyone. Is this normal now? Things have really changed.

If you're smart, you should have been actively looking and applying for a job from the start of the year, if not sooner. No one is safe here, and I think that's been blatantly telegraphed for a while now. This is not the same company I joined 15 years ago, that's for sure.

The only silver lining is that severance seems to be staying as is. That's always been my biggest concern when layoffs happen.

I can't get worked up over rumors anymore. If official news comes, I'll deal with it. Until then, I'm not wasting my energy.

Any way to know how many are still left to be notified?

Can someone tell me why it takes the managers anywhere from three weeks to three months to approve pto?

Heard that there is an announcement today. Wonder if it’s going to be massive layoffs??!

Assigned to a location officially on RTO letter but chose Dallas instead. Will I get axed for moving to a location other than the RTO specified one? I feel like I will get axed for that but supervisor does not think so and yes I asked multiple times. Anyone in the same boat?

So I am a bit confused why would mass layoffs happen right before open enrollment? Who is going to handle that when 1) people voluntarily leave 2) people are still going to get laid off after that 3) I doubt Centene would get back 2 million members from this enrollment period.

Be mindful of the 20 or so people from sales who will be laid off next week
Thoughts and prayers

I've seen multiple people placed on PIPs in the last six months. It's making me nervous. Is this just how things work here? Or is it a strategy to document people out the door so they don't get severance? I'd really like to know if I'm being paranoid or if this is a legitimate concern.

I wonder if there's anything the leadership thinks is truly essential.

In the last several layoffs, our team lost everybody above 50, and even two people in their late 40s. The rest of us are all here. I don't know if this is the case company-wide, but it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. Really shows us there's no future for any of us here once we hit a certain age.

Lots notices this past week.

Washington State University Vancouver faces a mandated 15% budget cut. This reduction totals over $6 million for the campus. University leaders approved these significant cuts on Wednesday. Faculty and staff fear the cuts will lead to mass layoffs. The campus previously avoided layoffs despite past budget reductions.

Where is the person who said he was going to create a new thread after speaking to teamster? Did he or she flake out?

Dow is implementing global job reductions as part of its Transform to Overperform plan. These layoffs are now affecting employees in Midland, Michigan. Dow plans to reduce 4,500 global positions throughout 2026. The company has not disclosed specific numbers for Midland. The community feels uneasy about the potential local economic impact.

Crabtree is in dire straits
Employees (managers, associates) literally walking out.

Why is it mostly us at Optum that have to worry about our jobs all the time? There are many GL 30 and 31 with no directs over at UHC, while at Optum GL29 has 15 directs. Seems they need an alignment.

Another 67 employees probably have zero job..

Why have these not been reported? The number of layoffs in 2026 alone are staggering but when done a handful at a time it just seems shady.
