Any thoughts around the EMTech forum held today by D!lan Puke and the other BTC lovin' gang of yes men?

Would love to hear more on the AEST item that is coming for the sites that he mentioned but never really said much about. It's happening in Singapore first and coming Europe's way next. Canada's taking their flogging now.

When do you think they will hit the US and to what level? 30% 40%, more?

Site people listen closely

To show that I'm a yes man too, "Go BTC"

Mexico done.

More layoffs at end of March 2026 after a previous round earlier this year. After being told no more layoffs, thee were apparently still more needed. Approximately 35-40 invited to a conference call and let go effective same day, and many with substantial years of service. I do know of at least 1 other person from another department that was not included in my group, but was laid off, so not really sure just how many were actually laid off company-wide in this round. A reason in the separation paperwork I received was that the company was going to be moving more work offshore - assuming to India like the other jobs offshored in the past. Perhaps not everyone's reason, but that's what my paperwork mentioned.

I see some groups had engineering cut heavily. This is typically a very bad sign especially when the 'process' professionals who mostly bring no value and simply get in the way of innovation (at this company) remained unscathed. The budget cut requirements could have been serviced by dealing with those groups while giving innovation in engineering a chance going forward. There was a belief this was a Mark B. policy but clearly that is not the case as this goes right to the board and IS the business model. Time to accept that.

Performance based. Attainment and manager reviews. Some teams will lose more than others. Most managers were sent a list of 2-3 “qualifying reps.” Were able to use some discretion with who they selected from that list, based on their required reduction. Ie. Maybe 3 names were provided but they only had to choose 1. But higher ups have final say. March 31 is confirmed happening in USA. Very stressful week. Not every team will have to cut.
