How did they notify people in the last round? I wasn't paying attention then because we were safe at the time. That's no longer true, so I'd just like to know what to expect.

1:1 with my supervisor scheduled in person on a separate floor early in the morning (~8:30-9am). Walked in to my supervisor and HR sitting in the room. Once meeting was done, I was told to head back home, cancel my meetings, and that the rest of my team will be notified. They said my belongings will be shipped to me separately.
I got an unexpected 1:1 invite titled "Me-SVP catch-up" from my Sky SVP for the next day in the last round.
HR kindly joined but wasn't on the invite.
My normal 1:1 with my manager included a surprise HR guest. It was immediately obvious what was up.
It’s hard to say when EVPs and SVPs are being let go. For us, we got a meeting invite from our SVP. The whole team joined via teams while the SVP, our VP, and HR sat in a room together on zoom. SVP and HR told us our group was being let go, including the VP sitting with them but we had through EOY to keep working and there would be new roles we could apply to.
Typically you receive a "business update" meeting invite which includes HR. Those meetings are typically with split groups, one with those impacted and another announcing the changes to the rest of the department.
@a2 I heard they arrived on a short bus
