There are two rounds planned. One notice late October for December departure. And one noticed in January for March departure.
@h9 3-4,month notification is far different than the 6 months indicated here. Oct-March. Unless OP is in Europe.
@b3 last purge 3 yrs ago had 3-4 months of work required ie notice in october/November until March for final days. This sound like it might be the same case
For everyone saying that it would be weird to tell someone months in advance that were they were being laid off, parts of advertising did that multiple times over the last few years. They alerted everyone who got cut, and gave them their end dates (which was basically Exodus one, Exodus, two, and Exodus three). I think people who were kept until the last date really thought they would get the opportunity to stay.
they're lowering your guard for when you get laid off next friday :)
@b3 I was told last September that my job would be gone by end of Dec. (Part of Division closures) Then I was told our small team would be safe but report to HQ. Then in Feb was told our jobs were eliminated and was given 30 days. It was a rollercoaster. I feel for what everyone is going through.
I’m not saying OP is lying, but I can’t get too worked up about this one yet. Being told in October that you might be laid off in March would be a pretty unusual way for a company to handle a formal layoff notification. It could absolutely be an early heads-up about a planned reorg, but I’d want more context before treating it as confirmation of March layoffs.
@an the newest batch of RSU issued last year have a Feb vesting date. But yes, definitely risky to those March vesting dates
@OP March? I’m guessing effective the day before RSUs vest?
what does a coordinator do?
So sorry to hear that.. How were you informed?
