So the list is still not finalized yet? Any director level folks here, can you confirm?

@fx they would be notifying impacted employees first, so it should be before Nov 9th; therefore, the first week of Nov is highly possible.
OP, probably tree structure would be better than a list here. So it would show hierarchy as well.
@fn hmmm that seems logical.
So here you go - November calendar
11/3 ELECTIONS
11/4 Earnings call
11/9 to 11/20 Manager discussions
11/26 Thanksgiving
Very busy! They won’t do it on election day or on earnings call day.
Can’t do it during the manager discussion window.
If last day is to be before thanksgiving, it could very well be when they are on the earnings call, in real time so they can see the stock pop?
Or they can (quietly) ask managers to schedule discussions later and reveal the list on 11/11.
This sounds logical?
@fd maybe earlier than the notification date, but no one knows when the notification date is for impacted employees. However, IT will restrict access to the laptop once they know all of the impacted employees so they can stop digital theft, including restrictions on sending any email to non-QC accounts.
your safety is entirely driven by BSI, boss s*cker index. Here is how to calculate it
BSI = ( ( number_of_days BBBL took coffee with Boss ) - number of days you took coffee with bos ) +
(number of days BBBL walked into Boss's chamberto say hello to him) - (how many days did you walk into Boss's chamber) )
DIVIDED BY
(number of days of your employent with Qualcomm.
BBBL = Boss's biggest boot-li---r
BSI is the probability of your name being on the list. 0 is the safest but that means YOU are that cringe guy who is BBBL and who is hated by everyone behind back.
Try sending test email from your qualcomm email id to personal email id to see if it works...if that doesn't work then it is sign
@en yesterday morning while starting day from home I suddenly lost access to most of internal resources I use, except couple of things which still would require VPN. Resetting VPN did not help, had to reboot my machine to recover access. Not sure if related, felt like some quick test by for the D day...
@f1 it’s not an illusion. In AI era, things are disabled earlier to avoid leaking trade secrets. Can't tell you more than that...
@en great attempt at hocus pocus
List is final. Go check if badge printing not working for you, then you are on the list
Low level managers give ratings and also pick the employee who will be let go.
They are trained by HR to say that upper VP or director selected the employee to be laid off. They cannot fool all the people all the time.
Layoffs to fund the AI tokens ? Anthropic and OpenAI are selling a myth.
They will IPO and sell all their stocks. Don’t fall for this AI token scams.
AI will help you in simple things but not something that is very complex.
Make sure CEO and useless top executives, if any, are on the list !
Are you part of the gang or ma.Fia? Are you part of the tribe ? It is getting stressful!!
With any company with layoffs always on the horizon there is always a list
of sorts. It’s just how far down the list are they asked to go.
The list was a part of certain level’s annual review discussions, lower level manager would not know
@a1 more like 12 to 18%
The list is finalized
Also manager said it is 7% for our big team
