#emea

There was talk about closing offices with less than 100 employees in EMEA. Did it happen in any country yet?

What does everyone think of the reorg. It seems a bit shambolic and in my area in EMEA, people are already saying it has to be reversed sooner rather than later. The management led by Chris Pilon don’t seem to understand how things actually work on the ground. The strategy of randomly allocating people to new teams based on their workday job title without conferring with local management is a terrible approach. Lots of people are in the wrong team. Shambles…..

As for now Morocco affected and lots empls got meeting invitation on Monday…

Please update if any info about other EMEA countries.

Did anyone else get a cryptic message from HR to “targeted employees” about updating your banking information by October 6th? It was sent under the guise of improving payroll processes but the “targeted employees” at the top is concerning. Could they be lining these employees up for October 6th layoffs? Has this happened before? Is this just in EMEA or did employees elsewhere get this too?

I was put on a PIP last week. My mid-year review was pretty normal & overall positive. Then my manager suddenly hit me with the PIP last week.
It honestly feels like a numbers game at this point.
A lot of what's written in the PIP assessment is either flat-out untrue or very debatable. Has anyone here had experience pushing back on or challenging a PIP? Is it worth addressing the points I disagree with, or could that just make me look difficult & potentially speed up an RA?
EMEA / marketing

What do you think?

Slack already dropped by 6k, but that number doesn’t include EMEA which takes some more time to complete the process.
APAC seems not included yet?
6k is the number of US (exclude Washington) only?

Then the size I will be almost same as previous one?

We heard of layoffs affecting the US and Costa Rica on Wednesday. Thursday appeared to be quiet, and so far there doesn’t seem to be much information about Friday.

Has anyone heard anything about the expected timing for layoffs in EMEA or APAC (if anything specific is looming)?

any info when riffs come to EMEA?

Are all the cuts US ?

Small layoffs coming mostly EMEA is what I am told

is there someone frim EMEA who was impacted by wave yesterday? or is just about to happen?

Is CG building a brand new team? Some interesting LT departures recent

any news about coming rumours?

Has anyone who was laid off from Citi and received a redundancy/severance package later rejoined the company?

I’m trying to understand whether there is a formal waiting period before someone can be rehired, particularly where the exit package included severance pay, payment in lieu of notice, or other redundancy compensation.

Does the restriction vary depending on whether the person returns as a permanent employee, contractor, or consultant? Also, is the waiting period counted from the last working day, the official termination date, or the end of the PILON period?

Any recent experience from the UK or EMEA would be helpful.

Does anybody believe that Massimo's flight got cancelled?

Anyone has a clue where we are with the latest layoffs wave? I can see Slack count increased today by 200+. Still no idea what happens in EMEA after Cz layoffs, complete silence.

Do you have any update of layoffs in Poland? Is EMEA already done or still in progress?

As someone in EMEA in professional services (cyber security consulting) at Verizon, we're hearing a lot regarding the potential for certain business units to be sold off to BT to boost their capabilities. What you have you guys heard? In EMEA it was looking like a collective dismissal first, but now it's looking more and more likely that a sell off will take place instead.

Does anyone know what BNY provide as way of a reference to a new employer, specifically in EMEA.

Nothing to hide just curious if they go any further than 'time served'.

Hey folks?
Is it true that whole IBM EMEA Talent Acquisition Team (90%) is laid off who was supporting Kyndryl Account?
Only a few are retained who were on B5.

Any comments?

What about EMEA/APAC/India??? Some say other regions follow - one reply says EMEA was already informed - another says Americas only. Which is it?

Just hearing R&D are considering Layoffs in EMEA Region. Has anyone heard similar? New EMEA R&D lead not happy with duplication of teams and roles???

Doesn't seem active anymore

How is CS doing in greater china? Insiders tell me she’s jealous she didn’t get the VP of EMEA and is nearly ready to give up already.

Thoughts?

Is APLA sticking around after 1 June? I also heard not.

Do we have any news about Germany, Francesco, Netherlands, Nordics, etc?

It started for EMEA

UK invites are already going out. Anyone know when other countries will follow? Please share whatever you're hearing.

Any fresh news about EMEA countries for coming week?

Anyone have insight? I saw Germany was announced today.

I'm sick of the weekly activity sync bs. Having to log fake calls because my customers don't want to speak on the phone. It's exhausting. I have 30 large customers and if I had to properly follow the metric I'd be constantly calling them to talk about what we don't have or can't sell. Right now they want to know how much will it cost today and how fast can I get it. Is it the same in EMEA & APJ or just mothership bs???

Good luck all

Any RIF impact on them?

Are the cuts over for now ? What about Emea ?

Frenzy in my office, but nothing's happened here yet.

There has been nothing about layoffs in the UK yet, and I have heard nothing on the grapevine about anything in EMEA. It has NOT started.

Don't get me wrong, I want it to start, and I want to be on the list. Happy to take some cash and run.

I'm sure the storm is coming, but it is not here yet.
