I am trying to figure out who are the most vulnerable employees. Long-timers? New hires? The most talented ones? Slackers? I hope that the most at risk are not the best employees who should be retained at all cost.

I feel sorry for everyone who was laid off in these difficult times. Being laid off is one of the most stressful moments one can experience. It may not be very comforting, but... most of us can get better opportunities outside of GF. I am still... — read more 

So has fate finally caught up with the over staffed and under worked department now that ER is not around to protect them?

I also heard the new employeers are most vulnerable. Almost all new hire are asked to leave. Will never recommend my friends to join this sick company. You work hard for a year then you get fk off.

For new folks on this website, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread... you can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's all from me. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all....

I sincerely hope that I will be targeted. Anyone else? I realized that it is not worth staying in a company that treats people like this. What can those who stay here expect in the future? In my opinion, nothing good.

I am trying to refocus on looking for a new job, but I am very worried.

This company is known for its ruthless treatment of employees. Even if you survive this round of layoffs, we all know there will be more next year. Things are only going to get much worse from this point on. It hasn't even started yet. Sorry for... — read more 

What are my chances of being laid off? I turned down another good opportunity to accept this position and if I now end up jobless, I don't know what I'm going to do. I know this is my fault. I did research the company before joining but I should have... — read more

It’s the 12th and another day of no news. GF can’t even get layoffs in a timely manner.

I do care about keeping my job here but it seems unlikely that one could make their position any safer regardless of how much the employee is dedicated to their work.

Some surprising names being informed today in upper management in Malta. These were not volunteers, they were shocked and blindsided.

This has become a terrible workplace. I don't think I've ever put in more effort and been less valued than I am here. How many of you started prioritizing looking for a new job in order to leave GF, regardless of whether you survive the cuts?... — read more

Be honest. Personally, I don't even care that I don't have a job lined up. All I want is severance and to be able to leave this place and never look back. I've got enough experience to know I'll be able to find a new job within a month or two. Even... — read more 

Either a layoff or a promotion I'm thinking, but far more likely a layoff.

Where are we going after we get our sweet severance money to give GF the double bird toast? Unified or Active ingredient? Or Bentleys? Any other suggestions?

What Companies Still Get Wrong About Layoffs: https://hbr.org/2022/12/what-companies-still-get-wrong-about-layoffs Perhaps the leadership is forgetting about the long-term effects of poorly managed layoffs?

My hunch is it will be just 249 people and won’t be triggered. Didn’t know if anyone has inside info willing to anonymously share. Would make us calmer if WARN is triggered so have more warning
