For individual contributor roles (non-manager/director/VP-fop) the current round of ETW cuts in IDSA and GT analytics engineering departments are largely adhering to a last-in/first-out pattern per/department, affecting almost every analytics-related department. IDK how cut #s are allocated by department, but I haven’t seen anyone get hit with fewer than two, always the most recent hires. There have been big cuts to other tech departments, particularly SAP-related, as others have noted (both FTE layoffs and ETW contract terminations)—but I have not followed these as closely. There are lots of really talented people being let go. I feel like a bit of a sociopath nerding out trying to reverse engineer the logic/pattern behind the cuts. We’ve all been bracing for this since the tariffs started to roll out, and I don’t imagine we’ve seen the last of this sla-ghter.

At my area in GT we knew for a long time that this was coming but of course it was aaaaaall KIT
This isn’t tariff related and rolling layoffs have been happening for years. Many knew of these layoffs and ETW cuts for months. Many consider the bulk of SAP work complete and as for jobs being contracted out, this is becoming the new norm everywhere for years at many companies.
