Should we expect another round of layoffs this Thursday? I’m dreading Thursday at this point.
Has anyone heard anything that would indicate otherwise?

Tech big months will be Feb, May and then closer to year end. Good luck.
The layoffs start again in February and will continue through most of 2023.
The beatings shall continue until morale improves. Yes, I suspect we’ll see additional layoffs throughout first quarter.
This is for Iowa layoffs only, but historically, the only January 60-day notification I can see is from 2019, and it was a big one for Iowa. 434 people were laid off and then the next one after that was March (8 people) and then May (187 people). Take that information for what it is. I guess I would be surprised to see a big layoff given the drip-drip layoff format our management has opted to use over the last 3 years. Interestingly enough, the biggest layoff since that 187 person layoff in May 2019 was this last August and it was 107 people. Otherwise it has been under 60 people.
Haven't seen the total numbers, but there were quite a few HR folks putting in time over the break. I fully expect us to get hit here in Seattle/Bellevue this Thurs. And would anyone notice? The office is a ghost town and our leader is nowhere to be found. Not a single Sales Power in-office "seminar" scheduled for the month. He knows.
I keep praying for my severance check. Please please pick me!!!
