This should not be unexpected to be frank. It has been obvious they were heading this way since they started investing heavily into AI. They think it will solve the issues. It hasn’t and will not. AI is only as capable as those who program it. They are not hiring the best programmers. At all.
Really sh!tty that they want us to focus on getting them over the finish line for 1/1 so they make their profit but then release you afterwards to save pennies.
@a7 I think first people on the list are those that don't know the difference between "their, there, and they're" or how to spell "lose".

“ my manager literally told me this last week. I think she may have known something...”
Managers were encouraged to tell their teams last Thursday or Friday, but most chose not to because it was pointless without other info to give out.
When will they start removing band 5,6 and 7 managers. It can save the company millions $$$. Each of them can make way for 3-10 employees who are really doing the actual work.
It goes out to all employees at 1pm ET
@ab my manager literally told me this last week. I think she may have known something...
@a5 What kind of cr*ppy manager doesn't have a team meeting in over a year?? This is the kind of person who should be laid off. Not many who actually have been.
It’s a manager advance email. Just one paragraph and probably the key message says “I want to be transparent: This work will change the shape and size of our workforce, resulting in fewer managers and employees. As our work changes, we must make choices about the capabilities we need, how teams are organized, where work is performed, and the number in types of roles required. Some roles will change, some work will move, and some positions will be reduced”.
We were told something would go out to just managers in the morning and then an email would go out company wide.
Well that email is going to do a ton for morale! But according to Brian - you’ve been asking and we listened! So this is all your fault! How’s that for ELT level socio/psycho gaslighting??
@a7 Manager advance note says it's an emali.
Generally their will not be an email, it will will be an invite for less than 1/2 an hour with whoever is going to notify you for some time Thursday morning. HR is not included in these meetings and you will be told that they will send you severance information to you personal email.
If you are concerned make sure to change over any communication preferences over to your personal for empowering, Cigna medical, etc. Start getting copies of any personal documents you will need as you will loose access by end of day.
Lead to one -> lead to none.
I haven’t seen it, but my mgr has scheduled a team meeting for this afternoon.
We haven’t had a team meeting in over a year.
it's not good, confirmed workforce reduction again early 2027
I have not heard or seen anything yet.
