I heard it's really bad. Any ideas on exactly how bad when it comes to numbers?

Curious to know this. Did they limit the layoffs to the announced numbers and are only white-collar workers affected, or did they try to use this situation and perform cut’s in a wider range than it was originally announced? If you have some info or... — read more

For the ones who have been let go, how did it happen? Meeting invite? HR come to your desk?

Those who have been laid off, please post your story, your level, any severance details, etc.

Do we know yet what the average age of those who were laid off is? Is it leaning more towards the late-forties and up category or is it all over the place?

There is a possibility that this was was said before on this board at some point, but I just wanted to point out this to the affected people. We all take being laid off as a personal failure, and a natural reaction is to question ourselves which... — read more
