There has been a lot of talk here about the IT layoffs planned. I agree that IT is in for a rough week from the rumors, but what about other departments in corporate and the state plans? Has anyone heard about the layoffs in these areas and whether they are to be as significant? From the rumors I've heard 2nd wave of layoffs will start this week and run through the end of the month, with a focus not just on the leadership positions but on line staff as well. Anyone have additional insight to share?

I suspect that the PMO will see heavy cuts. They are the definition of a middleman.
I had heard that leadership, IT, and community connectors would be hit hard this week.
Oh it's coming! It's coming!
You are correct. More than IT staff are slated for layoff this week through the end of the month. This includes leadership and line staff in all areas until they get to the target 1,500. They are at about 600 and expecting about the 650 reported below for layoff this week from there, if my math is correct, about 250 through end of the month. Beyond that info, I don't have specific on position or people. Does anyone have that master plan?
