Is there a specific date when we find out if we are being let go or not? This is all a big distraction, and it would be good for people to know if they are safe so they can better focus on their job.

@gb they really don’t care.
Hopefully they don’t wait until between Thanksgiving and Christmas like last year. “Merry Christmas! We’re gifting you with unemployment. Enjoy your holiday!”
The entire TSI knows and has been assured that there will be no firing and TSI is not in scope. Layoffs will only take place in high cost countries for foreseeable future so this is just a trailer.
I am about to give my resignation as I have a job offer, but it pains me that I am leaving the golden handcuff severance behind. Had there been an EOI process, I would have put my hand up.

At this point just hoping for the same standard severance that people got in previous recent years.
@az dream on mate, bp won't be a thing in 3 years time
@OP In the typical bp way, expect a massive hiring campaign in 2-3 years because "we need to bring external talent and expertise to the new orgs". In bp, we only develop those who lick well or create their own "brand". Actual performers are left to stagnate with vague generic promises of "career development". Dont be upset if you are let go by any means...
@ah your manager has ranked/scored you and passed it up the food chain. Your managers manager did the same for your boss.
@ah It’s a popularity contest. They don’t care.
@a4 how can a leadership committee at the top possibly know which employees have the most impact and therefore deserve to keep their job? Most employees rarely interact with the top level. How do they know????
@a2 this is bs.
@a2 that’s not how it works this time around. Decisions are being made by leadership committees at the top. Most line managers have no idea if their employees are safe or not. It’s a real cluster and recipe for disaster
Officially? You’ll know when you know. Unofficially? If your manager hasn’t already reassured you that you’re safe, then you already have your answer.
