They have no idea. No one was briefed outside of Ayman's circle. They were told by the VP a lot of employees will get shuffles around.

We all knew a massive reorg was coming in Oct and it will be followed with big cuts. Managers won't know who is cut until the day of. It is the OT way.
@cn Oh! Right! Right! I forgot. Not “layoffs”. The correct corpora-speak is “value accelerating workforce right sizings.”
Even if they did know, we're on a need-to-know basis (including the manager), and we're not in the need-to-know group
@cm agreed and confirmed, there is nothing for managers to know as there are no layoffs
@OP They are rarely told anything in advance. Managers in large tech usually find out about layoffs on their team the same time as their reports. (Usually because managers are being let go at the same time.)
major reorg was was held very close to the vest. only ELT and few others knew
@OP Yeah. My manager was clueless, as usual. Still gave me more sh-t to do after I talked to him.
