The call center building we work in will be closing. We've received hints could be the end of the 4th Quarter, 2026, OR the end of the 1st Quarter, 2027. (Basically in the next 6-9 months.

We find it interesting that the call center will have no electricity or air conditioning July 7, 8, 9 due to the Generator going into a "downtime". It could be merely a coincidence, however researching on the web indicates taking down a generator for a building that's slated to close, could be a sign of events unfolding sooner than later.
