Six weeks until the end of 3Q. There’s reason to believe as we get closer to the end of the current quarter we’ll see additional resource actions. Staffing on the tech side is under scrutiny due to the recent and embarrassing VP - contractor scandal. Plus, some projects are going to be scrapped, and, ways to quickly reduce costs before the end of the financial year are being considered. Since headcount is a huge driver of costs, we might be in for a pretty bumpy ride through the end of 4Q.

@OP good call, during the years I was there we were often challenged to reconcile project budgets before October end so money could be given back. Basically released back to the WMTech budget to be reallocated to struggling over budget projects, VP pet projects, and lastly as savings back to the business.
