Palo Alto Unified School District forecasts financial hardship and potential layoffs. This follows the failure of Measure B, a parcel tax that would have generated $15 million annually.

Planning is underway at this time for first quarter closing of the Bloomington Minnesota center and building.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Anyone know if there will be new layoff rounds in June? Hearing rumors that layoffs could become a quarterly occurrence. Any insight on whether there might be cuts next week, and if they would be concentrated in STS or spread across multiple organizations?

Reorganization announcements have started. We were notified today, and while I cannot share the specific area, our team was not laid off. Instead, the team is being split up and moved under different managers.

We were told that the reorganization will continue next week in waves, with additional teams being notified over time. We were also informed that some areas across the company may experience layoffs.

I was also able to confirm that a coworker in a completely different department was recently asked to provide a manager breakdown and reporting list. Based on that, it seems the timing of notifications may depend on the department, and some employees may not hear anything for another couple of weeks.

I am on a year long leave. I was just told my position was eliminated. Does this mean I am pretty much fired when my year off ends or does it mean I just go to a new department?

Anticipating after these large numbers of people are off books (or before) , there will be a lot of shuffling of teams. Anyone know what happens when a Director or AD ends up without enough direct reports? Maybe there will still be enough employees left to re-allocate, but math-wise seems like there might be a lot of esp AD’s without the minimum number of people.
Wonder if the July target notifications will be like musical chairs for those without enough people left.
