Thread regarding Synopsys Inc. layoffs

I'm based in the US and just got confirmation on the actual long-term roadmap leadership is working toward. The goal is to aggressively shrink the total US workforce down to exactly 4,000 employees by 2030.Right now, upper management is debating how they’re going to enforce that number. We don't know yet if they'll manage to hit the 4K baseline through natural attrition which is entirely possible given how many people are completely checked out and looking for the exit after those brutal SHAPE survey results or if they're going to have to resort to more structured layoff rounds to force the headcount down.As part of this 2030 strategy, the US roles that actually survive are going to look very different. The plan is to push as many positions as possible completely out of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, relocating whatever is left to lower-cost US cities. But even with that domestic migration, the absolute ceiling for the entire US footprint is capped at 4,000.They’re keeping the exact timeline quiet so they don't trigger a mass panic or scare off customers mid-cycle, but the end state is already decided. If you're currently in a US-based role especially in the high-cost Bay Area offices, this is the reality on the horizon. Dust off your resumes and protect yourselves.
For employees in the other mature R&D hubs globally, I don’t have any information on the global situation but good luck to you too, since we don’t know what they are planning and things don’t look good in other countries too based on posts here.
