Is the company negotiating with the EWC (European Workers Council)? How are negotiations going? When will the local councils tell us something?

The stock + 28% pre-market is based on backlog news - Safra said about $455B - 4 multi-billion contracts - so stock-market is buying this, and LE + $70B. Then this backlog is more important than Reve/EPS which was not delivered. Maybe this aligned... — read more 

When a company keeps leaning on layoffs to fix problems, it’s a giant red flag. It doesn’t matter what excuse the leadership gives, be it cost cutting, restructuring, or aligning priorities. It all points to leadership that doesn’t know how to manage... — read more

I feel something is going to happen. Scared AF! Should I look in to other jobs ? I am an applied scientist working on LLM prompting .

All that matters in corporate America is shareholder value.

What do you think?

Or are they about to hit this week? It’s so hard to keep track. My team in NZ hasn’t been affected yet, but that doesn’t really mean much.

Your voice survey link was sent me for the yearly employee survey. I really have mixed feelings about giving real honest feedback. Leadership knows who doesn't fill out the survey and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who has... — read more

Anyone know whether the severance pay will be lumpsum or month by month?

There’s no end in sight, and we still don’t know anything. It’s a terrible feeling not knowing what to expect, not knowing if you’re safe, while watching coworkers get let go with no clear criteria. I’m stressed out of my mind, just like most of us... — read more 

There is a lot of anxiety in the Austin campus but haven't heard of anyone getting impacted by the lay offs. Are there any Austin employees affected?
