Rolled in at 10:00 and I still got a parking spot. Feels like a 30% reduction, about the same punt before all the remote workers were forced to come back.

This is a huge thing to coordinate. You should feel bad for all of the consultants who had to orchestrate all of this. It is a lot of work. Just get over yourself and think about how hard this is for them.

It seems like this will go on in multiple phases until year end. Focus on vp and s currently. Is that right ? Lower bands later this year? I did hear of lower bands in some functions though.

They signed the deal lat Aug 2023 will under the new agreement consolidate several IT support functions with Cognizant. It’s all starting to make sense ….?

Was it Bain & Company? Anyone know ?

Its one of the worst day of life. I was not layoff but my perm will be affected, my maxout date is Sep 2025, and now I am not sure I will have any chance.

Can someone please confirm, they layoff most of the full time but not contractors, not sure but as per department of labour this is not ethical/legal, can someone confirm it?
