Kept yet cant sleep with this uncertainty... Asking to utilize this thread for any communications regarding the 9 am meetings....

Yep, couldn't sleep all evening with this in the forefront of my mind. Assume this to be a similar state for many of you... Wishing us all the best, yet not sure a decision can be adjusted at this point...


Layoffs on Wednesdays?

New to this board sorry if this has been addressed,

Is there a possibility for layoffs on Wednesdays? My manager changed our monthly 1:1 from Friday evening to tomorrow morning and is OOO today, can't even ask him. He's a new manager and I don't know him that well due to a reorg.


Layoffs in motion — is this just the beginning?

This isn’t speculation anymore — layoffs are happening, and India seems to be in the middle of it right now (likely continuing through the week). From what I’m hearing, this is part of a broader org restructuring with global impact. The numbers being discussed are all over the place — anywhere between ~4% to 10% workforce reduction. Some estimates suggest ~1,000 roles, while others go as high as 4,000.

What’s less clear — and more concerning:

Are there additional waves planned in the coming months?

Is this happening ahead of a new CEO transition ?

There are also whispers about another significant round around June — any truth to that?
Would be really helpful to hear from folks across orgs/locations:
What’s the ground reality right now?
Are teams being given any forward visibility?
Is this a one-time correction or a longer restructuring cycle?
Feels like there’s more beneath the surface here — trying to piece together what’s actually coming next.
