Layoffs Dec 7th

Heard from director level management that random business segments are going under another review and layoff period. Such trash seeing how Christmas is coming.

Layoffs tomorrow 11/30?

I anticipate the answer is yes but any intel? Usually someone knows something. Just shaking the knowledge tree.
