Layoffs have been confirmed for May, affecting 15% of employees, with the list of impacted individuals to be shared with management this week.

I’ve been at IBM since 2013. Since that time I’ve seen most of the coworkers I counted as friends get laid off. (Why do we have to say “RA” just because the terms “lay off” and “laid off” cause IBM heartburn?) Given my age and my tenure at IBM, I can’t help but feel a bullseye forming on my back. Still, I’m more at peace with this idea as time goes on. Much of that is because I have yet to talk to any former IBM employee who wishes they were still with Big Blue.

I am hearing that there will be more layoffs on the 23rd. Some loud mouth that sits near me keeps bragging about how they are supposed to be quite. I guess he feels like one of the cool kids because they are in the loop.

Happened today, couple people disappeared after 10am. Confirmed with one of them.

This layoff round is taking a large amount of causalities. US/CA/UK/EMEA/India

Good luck to all

Curious if anyone laid off is trying to secure another role within UHC or Optum? If yes, any success with getting interviews or re-hired? How long did it take you to get rehired?

Layoff and RTO fatigue. The beatings will continue until morale improves or people quit.

Laid off 3/5/26. Electronically submitted severence paperwork the next day. People say it takes 2-3 pay periods until it’s paid out. Is there any way to expedite?

Asking as I might take another internal position (I’m in the hiring process). You forfeit severance if you are hired back on BEFORE your severence pays out.

Would like to get severence AND get back on since the job market is terrible where I live.

Any suggestions from this group?

She's already pulled back from involvement in the company. This just formalizes it. Gone within 12 months.

heard layoffs in BH happening today...

I just got let go today It’s happening

Of those laid off last week, did you receive a severance package? Are you eligible for rehire?

Any info on the recent layoffs?

I know it su-ks to be the one being gutted and left out. I feel for you as I have experienced it myself. As much as it is painful - there is a higher reason for you being chosen. You are being rescued even though it feels like the rug being ripped under you. You will recover and land in a better spot. You have outgrown the version of yourself at Verizon and excel anywhere you go. Sometimes the universe rips off the bandage and places you where you need to be because you are being complacent. I wish all of you much luck, success, and happiness in your post-Verizon life. I know I found in a company that actually values my opinions and work ethic. Peace be with you all especially all trolls that will come here and comment about me being lazy etc. For their information I found a job before my off-payroll date, started a week after and never took unemployment. 🤣

Public service announcement - if you were laid off in 2025, you should still receive the company 401k match. It was contributed to accounts on March 13, 2026. Check your 401k accounts to confirm. Also, if you were contributing to the Citi company stock fund through the 401k, you should still be able to vote for shareholder resolutions related to the annual stockholder meeting held during the 2nd quarter, so keep an eye out for that proxy communication.
