I checked my managers calendar and it’s wide open tomorrow. Does that mean my whole team is safe? How long is the HR meeting so we can see if we’re possibly impacted?

Has anyone got their severance payment or know when we can expect it? Single parent and trying to budget accordingly

Heard people will start getting notified from May 18th in the US. Also heard the entire IT in Costa Rica will be shut down? Does anyone has any other info.

When are these layoffs supposed to happen? There have been posts about it here but nothing is going on. Fill us in!

A new job has been posted, they are looking to hire someone to develop AI to take processes, procedures, analysis, etc out of the hands of current workers and into the bowels of AI. The worst part is that the job description includes making the AI in compliance with audit standards and SOX public standards. All while following the rules of controls and separation of duties? How can this be taken seriously? Trusting that data is properly handled, accounting is done up to high standards, and that our financial statements are accurate in the hands of newly developed AI? More layoffs coming to FP&A if this job gets filled? Whoever takes this job will be a yes-man and completely wreck our financial accuracy.

Maurice and is cronies no longer care about tenured, experienced employees. From now on there will be no promotional opportunities for supervisors and above of they are not located at a hub site. Even if you have worked for the company for over 20 years, if you live in Marion, you're sc--wed. No promotion for you. Apparently, only employees in hub locations are now qualified to promote. I'm deeply saddened that HCSC has become such a cr-ppy employer and thinks so little of those of us who have dedicated so many years to ensuring the success of this company.

So it starts, now well publicized on the news Sycamore is closing stores under the guise of security or safety, and while that's a concern, their goals are to get out of leases to reduce their debt obligations (somewhat good), and pad their pockets by selling off any real estate that is owned. However, it is NOT with improving the business in mind. It is purely a way to pay themselves. Look at their history on their other large holdings, Staples they are continuing to reduce stores under the premise they are low performing stores, but in many cases it's just to cook the books. Essendant, they sold off the majority of their real estate for millions as a cost reduction for low performing, closed the majority of their business, but never invested back into the company. Talbots, Hot Topic, Belk, Pure Fishing they are closing stores/warehouses/offices and leaving just a shell of businesses they will never invest back into to improve. Sycamore is evil, and just plays with people's lives to line their own pockets over and over again.

Heard rumors that professional services team would be impacted. Also, people not meeting expectations (NME) after performance review meeting. Any insights?

It's TACO Tuesday...
T - Take
A - Away
C - Careers...&
O - Outsource to India

Hooray!

As a people manager, I can confirm I received list of associates I'll have to let go.

My manager probably received the same.

We all have mandatory trainings tomorrow to break the news in stages on Thursday.

Just like level 4-7 associates, level 8 and above won't know their date until Thursday.

I might well be outside the door after breaking news to two of my exceptional performers on Thursday.

So it is happening.

Seeing a lot of layoffs from New Business Verticals, large number of DashMart management slashed.

HCA Healthcare’s offshoring of American IT jobs to India is a gut-wrenching betrayal that should outrage every American who values fairness, loyalty, and the integrity of our healthcare system. When CTO Sai Adivi announced the end of many American IT careers in an impromptu, secretive, BCC’d Webex call, citing a "successful pilot" and the move to "Phase 2" while referencing other Fortune 100 companies, the message was already cold. But the kn--e twists deeper with the detailed plans for affected employees to spend their final months in left-seat/right-seat training and job shadowing, meticulously documenting every skill and technology in SOPs so their Hyderabad replacements can take over. All of this while managers in large group chats including the affected employees post cheerful "happy work anniversary" congratulations.
This is not business as usual. This is a company founded by American physicians on American soil, built by generations of dedicated American workers, and kept afloat by nearly 47 million mostly American patient encounters every year, with tens of billions pouring in from American taxpayers through Medicare and Medicaid. HCA’s stock languished in the low-to-mid $20s until the 2012 Obamacare ruling dramatically boosted its insured-patient volume and share price. Yet today, at well over $400 per share, HCA looks its own people in the eye and offers veteran employees with 20+ years of service a severance package well below Fortune 100 averages, saying their knowledge, sacrifice, and loyalty are worth less than the savings from shipping jobs to Hyderabad.

The "train your replacement" mandate is cruel and humiliating. Forcing dedicated Americans to dismantle their own careers, hand over hard-earned institutional knowledge that keeps hospitals safe and patients protected, and then sit idle answering questions until the India team can stand alone, while the company pretends everything is normal and business as usual, is an insult that adds financial hardship, emotional devastation, and profound disrespect on top of job loss. It risks patient-care disruptions, erodes decades of U.S.-based expertise, and treats people who helped build HCA into a powerhouse as disposable.

HCA’s founders spoke of putting patients first. Today’s leadership, under the continuing influence of the Frist family, who still hold massive ownership and board power, has utterly abandoned that vision. Patients, American workers, and the taxpayers who subsidize this empire are no longer the priority. Cheap foreign labor and swollen profits are piloting the ship.

Politicians who accept campaign support, lobbying influence, or oversee the massive Medicare and Medicaid dollars flowing to HCA must be held accountable. Demand they investigate these practices, protect American jobs in critical healthcare infrastructure, and ensure taxpayer money doesn’t fund the offshoring of American livelihoods.
Shareholders and the board (including Frist family representatives) should also face pressure to replace leadership that has so clearly failed the original intent of the founders. The mission was patient care and human life, not maximizing margins by discarding the American workers who made it all possible.

American patients deserve a healthcare giant that actually protects their data and delivers reliable care with professionals who understand them. American workers deserve employers who honor their service instead of treating them as disposable after decades on the job, especially while forcing them to train their own replacements and pretending everything is normal in the company chat.

HCA should be beyond ashamed. It should immediately halt this offshoring, retain and invest in its American workforce, and rediscover the patient-first values its founders claimed to champion. Anything less confirms that for this company, loyalty, country, basic human decency, and the American dream mean absolutely nothing when profits are on the line.

This cannot stand. Not for HCA Healthcare. Not for any other American company that relies on the American taxpayer for its survival.

This post truly deserved a thread of its own so it could be seen by more people. OP is @qm+1kqg2w845.

It probably means more layoffs today.

Didn't Srini say last week this was done for a while?...

Less than a couple years ago, this stock was above $200 per share. Now, it's a little above $70 USD. Looks like there's been several key executive exits, a number of cost-cuts, layoffs appear commonplace at the line level, and the big one - a lack of topline growth. Other than some strong opinions about layers upon layers upon layers of management protecting management - the culture continues to appear as a bright light. That's a good sign, right? What's your take here? Time for a position...or time to wait it out...or keep walking? Is this company a value or a value trap?

Will there be any more RIFs in Value?

When is the next wave of NPC&E layoffs? Specifically Mobility? Specifically Management?

We know layoffs are continuous in other parts of company. The love comes in waves in NPC&E though.

With a heart full of appreciation, l want to say a BIG THANK YOU to our amazing CEO, Vicki Hollub. Thank you for all you did for Oxy’s employees. Thank you for more than doubling Oxy’s production and for your wisdom and foresight in lowering Oxy’s risk in the Middle East and increasing U.S. domestic production. You’ve reshaped Oxy to be a premier oil and gas company. You’ve taken the lead where others are afraid to step into. You are the first woman to Lead a major oil and gas company in the U.S and you didw a terrific job. You’ve also stabilized Oxy (no massive layoffs) which has allowed talents to focus more on their jobs rather than worrying each time the price of oil goes down. Words cannot express how much you did for Oxy as a whole. I wish you long life and the best in your retirement.

As many have heard the finance transformation will affect many of the jobs for the Houston finance team. That being said, are any of you all willing to share past severance agreements/packages that Enbridge has offered during past restructuring or layoffs? How many weeks per service year or minimum weeks? Will the bonus be prorated?

Revenue down, missing expectation all around, and they’re still buying back shares, rather than paying down debt? Sounds really delusional. And Mike and Dhyvia is about to implode this thing. Bo-b it completely.
