Any Ad Services people out there? Does anyone have any information on our transition? Dates, numbers, what’s staying and what’s going?

Any updates on Ad Services? Should be hitting the fan soon for the ones competing for jobs.
Big announcements tomorrow for fate of Ad. Services. Good luck to all.
Something is brewing. Who is in the know?
Other than executive secretarys, Ad-Services are the most powerful folks around SF. They can turn off a datacenter in like 3 mouse clicks if they wanted to.
When you get a video from Ad Services top Leadership this week and shortly after the video your Supervisor sends a link with all the severance information. Things that make you go hummm.... but we’re “being transparent.” All this is doing is creating more anxiety and complete distrust in all leadership at State Farm.
@6vpy is correct - that's what I've heard as well
I'm sorry but I have been through the wait and see period with SF. Prepare for a large reduction in AD services to the point of a dissolution of the unit like they did to CIR.
Sure wish I could find out the truth!!
Though SF doesn’t owe us anything, after 25 years, most of us in Ad Services don’t know anything but the SF way. It will be a struggle to find comparable employment.
As long as you're maintenance in Bloomington you're fine.
What did the axe fall on?
If you were in Maintenance, the axe fell
What is the overview?
There was no axe yet. Just more of the same, a general overview.........."we'll give details at the end of March." No numbers, no dates or anything of any substance. Stay tuned.
The axe just fell.
They know. They're just not telling yet. Look at Tacoma and the MG4-6 annoucements. MG4's and 5's were blindsided.
Reminds me of the line from the movie "Dave" :

Management says their meeting last week did not give any details, just more of the same and general direction Ad Services is moving in. Employees have a 'pre-meeting' this Thursday to hear the same. No new news, really, except to say we will know more details in 45 days (end of March). They really need to stop with the 'nothing new to tell you' meetings that get everyone all riled up but claiming they are being transparent - I call BS, they obviously know more than they are saying.
I heard this week announcements will be made. Anyone know what to expect??
Those impacted were told it's their story to tell.
Soooo, how did it go? Someone leaky knows
I know there is a meeting going on right now, but do we really know what it’s about?
Company-wide Ad. Serv. leadership meeting today to lay out how it's going to go down. Stay tuned.
Major staffing reductions are in the works. Supervisors are first on the block. Aging Maintenance staff will take any severance package allowing SF to use staffing augmentation. Looking at 50 percent or more in staffing reductions.
It’s quiet.... Too quiet???
I haven't heard anything since late November. And all I was told at the time was there will be a transition happening and we'll know more in first quarter.
