Someone in another thread described rolling layoffs spread over all quarters. Estimates of the $200M restructuring charge translating to 10k jobs seems credible, and that is a lot to process in one quarter. If Kyndryl is 72k people, that’s about 14%. I don’t see that being executed in one motion. If you’re impacted in this first wave, at least you’re spared what seems likely coming for the rest of the year. My guess is this is going to be misery on top of misery throughout fiscal 2027.

@w0 Maybe we have stopped/slowed down the layoffs thanks to our shitstorm made all here around.. ;D (which resonates on Register and elsewhere)

@vr Honestly I expected way more people to be off the train. But they seem to be taking their sweet time due to perhaps a liquidity crunch

What I'm reading is this is the copilot notes from this employee's meeting with their manager about getting laid off. So after the 27th, they'll go to the bench, get at least 30 days, maybe to the end of the quarter, before the separation kicks in.
I've experienced this first hand.
