@16s..that's close for me. I can feel the "gallows" mindset creeping in. Hard to motivate when this is going on. Maybe the advice I saw in the movie "School or Rock" with Jack Black is fitting-where he tells the class " You want to learn something, here's a useful lesson for ya GIVE UP, QUIT" as he said in the movie and it plays out here "In the end your just gonna lose"
I'm in marketing, on the creative team. We lost 8 copywriters and 3 designers in the latest purge on 10/28/26. Not sure I feel lucky to be spared... just waiting for the axe to fall.
Does anyone in leadership realize the constant strain this puts on employees to wonder if their number is up week after week? It can't be good for quality of work.
@1c0 sounds right.
@1bv Internal chatter is calling out 11/20/2026 unfortunately
I am hearing another one is planned for November. I hope that's not true.
@OP The blind clocks didn't find the broken squirrel this time. The hit came out of the blue.
@183 Hi Brene :) This post is just as whack as your Dare to Leave brainwashing enforced by the illustrious Lumen leaders.
@162
According to the experts on here there wasn’t supposed to be a lumen in 2025.
@178 sorry to hear that, were you part of mass market or Enterprise?
Just got notified about an hour ago. I’m in marketing.
Someone just got laid off from my team. Offnet
@vs..and didn’t Lumen partner with MS on AI buildout?
I really couldn’t laugh harder….
@134 there won't be a Lumen in 2035. That ship will have sank by then.
@OP
Nothing like a good vague random post. Just shorten it. Oct. 29th who knows. Or, Nov. 1st who knows. Dec 2nd who knows. 2027 who knows. 2035? Who knows? Maybe I’ll come back in 2035 and claim I called it. If not I’ll be back to say 2036.
If they want techs to leave offer a good buyout,otherwise we’re here to the end.
Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts (Voluntary Exit Offers) to approximately 60,000 employees—more than 25% of its global workforce—to cut costs and fund massive investments in artificial intelligence.
Haven't heard anything yet. I was told our testing center is going to get hit again in December; that's is though.
What about October 29th

At this point I wouldn't even be mad if they showed me the door. VSPP would be nice, but I'll take my 30 weeks and smile as they tell me how tough these decisions are.
I usually don't look in the toilet
