Seems like the organization design is mostly rolled out. It's been a long time waiting for many people, and a lot of the timelines took longer than expected. Seems to be a general reduction in roles, especially in North America, and a number of retirements. Thoughts on the status?

The rumors are true , there is a massive layoff that’s occurred and occurring ongoing. Basically the Trump administration is demanding that all of the contract companies like Tata, cognizant and HCL and so forth reduce their H1B by at least 50% by the end of 2026 or they will face permanent banning from the United States of America. As a result all these companies, including TCS, which has the largest share of H1-Bs in the United States are actively conducting layoffs. if you are a H1-B you will receive a notice before the end of this year. Your H1-B time is absolutely over, look at Austin Texas, most of the homes are being abandoned along with cars and furniture and homes as they are because H1-Bs have been demanded to leave the country or face criminal prosecution in jail. all of the H force from the criminal sponsors like TCS are being demanded to leave the country. There’s no escape here, H1-B days are numbered and TCS employees/H 1B that have replaced American workers are being demanded to leave. massive, massive, massive reduction of H1-B is going to happen in this quarter before the end of 2026.

Typically last RIF cycle is by 10/31. That gives the 60 days to carry current salaries and claim saving (reduction in headcount) going into 2027. (Minus any payouts that could carry over). Or if backfilled with offshore, then cost savings to account for going into 2027.

So if we make it through the next month, we're safe for the rest of the year? Is that correct?
