When are we getting the 25% mid year advance?

Data center BU had around 25-30% cutdown and more is coming. It is already told to many teams what’s coming And directors have asked many employees to start looking for jobs now itself

Two questions for you: Looking across technology market leaders today (people, not companies); what named person would actually be interested in fixing this place? What market driver (AI, etc), would actually drive a new senior leader to... — read more

With layoffs at nearly all tech companies, where are people who are looking to leave applying?
