I know the old Dubin office opened at Polaris but is that place still there? Just wondering. I left the Dublin a couple years before it officially shut down. I've seen posts on this site saying it was going away but never heard if that actually happened.

Our small group was told April 23 is the date

So, was that an actual thing or folks talking out of their 🍑?

I've heard conflicting information on building closures that may be moving forward.
Does anyone have a list of locations, or information on how they're selecting buildings/campuses that are going to be closed? Does anyone know what that means for employees in those locations?
I've heard some locations, and then also heard that some changes in what locations are affected have taken place.
If anyone knows anything they can share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Rumors of an announcement date of 4/20, but I'm not sure if that's accurate, either.

It's interesting I don't see anything in the press... closing call centers probably means hundreds of people are gone.
