This thread is for info about potential AstraZeneca layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

As somebody who's been shown the door less than a month ago it really hurts to see AZ hiring new people. Some of those positions are not department-specific and could have been filled by those of us who were laid off. But I guess getting somebody... —  read more

I'm relatively new here (a little over a year) and the one thing that's been constant is the fear of layoffs. Now I know a good part of that is the pandemic and the fact that everybody is laying off people. So my question is, what is it like outside... —  read more 

Not sure why we even need layoffs when attrition has been through the roof. The company has been getting rid of employees for years by setting them up for failure through unattainable goals and intentional lack of communication that leaves them... —  read more 

If the goal was to get rid of some of the best people, than this layoff is a huge success. What in the world did they use as a criteria for determining who to let go? And why are people who've been here for a year, two at the most still here when... —  read more 

My heart breaks for all the good people being laid off right before the holidays. This is abhorrent behavior that is coming from the company most of us dedicated our lives to. What should we do?

It's bad here, I'm not sure I can take one more day of this.

I literally cannot afford to get laid off. I mean it. I am not financially stable and if they give me the boot I do not know what I will do. I have no info on what is going on and my stomach is in knots because of it... my calls are not returned... —  read more 

He's staying. Why would they notify those staying first? Just to prolong the agony of those who'll be cut?

Do we know if the pandemic has had any effect on the severance package? Is it the usual or has it been reduced? That's my biggest fear right now, to be honest. I can deal with being laid off if I have a nice safety net to rely on. But if that is... —  read more 

With diabetes and respiratory done, what's getting hit today? We know for a fact it's continuing...

AstraZeneca is known for giving its employees layoffs in December as a Christmas present. Anybody who did not see this coming is living in a fantasy world. Actually, I wouldn't even be surprised if we learned about even more cuts in the following few... —  read more 

I have a parcel pending from FedEx, just how screwed am I?

This is 100% and all employees got messages today. We always have layoffs during the holiday season which is so not humane...

We have layoffs but I cannot see any astrzeneca filed WARN notices filed with the State? Is this legal or are they pulling a fast one again?

and it's weird that this forum is silent. good luck all.

What's your guess on how many employees the company will have before the end of the year? How about the overall headcount? And headcount at London?

Share any updates you may have about AstraZeneca Layoffs in 2019 or beyond?

There are consequences... The constant re-orgs here are getting tiresome.... Every time there is someone who will get screwed. Durin reorgs, ven if there is no headcount reduction, we spend a lot of time trying to re-define how work is being done... —  read more

I like how we handled the Pfizer's attack - they would bury AstraZeneca

Now there is a ton of rumors about layoffs in 2014 - we all know that small batches of layoffs across the organization are happening every month, but I wanted to see if you guys heard about a big reorg plans that would result in thousands of job cuts... —  read more
