Timing and process patterns
- Notifications are happening mainly via scheduled calls or texts from managers or SDs, often early morning (for example 8 am, 9 am).
- 12/19/2025 appears as a major last day across multiple groups (VBG, VCG, Corporate).
- Some impacts extend into 2026 (for example 1/17/2026 VCG band 7, 1/14/2026 VBG band 7 example).
- One case shows someone hired 1/21/2025 and out 2/20/2025, suggesting very short tenure before layoff.

@a1 likely but hopefully not
@a1 most likely
I was up last night looking at the org charts. I noticed that photos of people are missing. Looking for clues..
@a1 very likely unless this happens on a regular basis. If this is a notification, I m very sorry.
@OP love this idea, hope others follow through and reply in this thread if impacted.
@a1 what dept?
Hard to say. Sometimes it’s to say you will be in a new group
I just got a text from my manager that he wants to talk to me around 8. Does that mean I am impacted?
