Pretty neat cnbc got the CEO email before employees. One positive I guess is that 15% layoffs are on hold, for now, but seems like we have a solid number in mind now. Curious everyone's thoughts
Any idea when the next round might be?

That's all I wanted to say.
This is not over
Only a few hundred from the planned thousands were cut in this round. I don't know when it'll continue, but it'll continue soon enough. Be prepared, folks.

Staying doesn't feel like winning
My team is half the size it was last year but the output expected from us is exactly the same. I'm overwhelmed every single day trying to cover the gaps. Getting a package to leave is starting to seem like a better deal than this grind.
