Just check LinkedIn, a lot of goodbyes from people being "retired"

It’s just you. The majority of the layoffs right now occurred in Boise. Everyone there got laid off with severance or quit without severance. Don’t forget about the company’s roadmap for layoffs until 2028, which is the same roadmap that recently ended in 2025.
Wait a few months and see what happens in September. I guarantee you that the high ups are discussing layoffs right now for when that time comes. If your work is slowing down, buckle up.

Yes, it is just you. I have 3 co-workers that took the early retirement. Unfortunately, I relied on their expertise for my job. 2 of them were in a department that now has mostly CW's that are in India. The manager is in the US and so were the ones that took the early retirement. The other co-worker I shared a cubicle with.
