Team, it has come to our attention that the layoff channel was accidentally set to public visibility. 🫠🫠🫠
Please note this was an unplanned transparency initiative designed to foster radical visibility and cross-functional awareness. 🧩👊🥰💃
Remember: layoffs aren’t layoffs, they’re “career path recalibrations”. 🌱

Obviously they’re using their ridiculous corporate buzzwords to soften the blow. The way they’ve said everything made it seem like this is going to be the last round of layoffs by saying there is no Cascade 3.
But… it says “There is no Cascade 3 as part of Capacity Realignment.”
Those sneaky ba----ds. Capacity Realignment is just phase one. “Cascade 2 will conclude Capacity Realignment.” There’s still Sourcing & Shoring and AI & Automation phases to come.
Maybe this was obvious to a lot of people, but I definitely had a false sense of security thinking this would potentially be it. I knew there would always be the POTENTIAL for additional layoffs down the road, but this sneaky bullsh-t just really jumped out at me today.
I wish they’d stop the bullsh-t buzzwords, grow up, and just say things as they are. Instead, they’re being a bunch of cowards hiding behind pretty words.
Not sure how deep these are, but just heard a Mgr & couple of regional guys got axed yesterday & today. Yet again slt saying "not for the foreseeable future" is more bs.
So from Cameron Bready's exhausting epilogue, the word counter on "change" was absurd. "Change" aka in HR word speak is re-orgs and layoffs.
