I know more cuts are planned for 2026, but I’m asking specifically about this round. Have all impacted already been notified, or should we expect more layoffs early next week?

That is what chatGPT told me. Ansys never had a mass layoff but Synopsys did a few times in the last a few year. The merge was good initially if you sold all of your Stocks a few days after the merge. Otherwise, you lost 30% minimal.

Ansys was a great company to work for. I didn't get that same impression from Synopsys, but I guess that comes with working for a much larger company. It was a good 5 years.
