why not flatten at the SVP, GVP levels? how can it be a role elimination only for a Senior Director or engineering manager who are actually doing the job?
@e9 and making us poorer and India richer.
@en Its part of Susan Morris's new "corporate consolidation" strategy. Removing middle managers and consolidating 11 divisions down into 4 regions flattening management chains in the process to "streamline" everything.

So many IC,s who are good are gone . These guys work day and night . How the managers going to execute without these folks . The mangers are still more in teams with one or two reportees . The way did company is moving looks like they will have only mangers and GCC going to run the delivery .
Seeing plants in this forum is a crazy thing. Hearing 150 from others. ~20 or so from the DV campus, many more from Pleasanton.
Direct knowledge is my point of contact for IT escalations is gone.
No second round of layoffs
It is hard to beleive that inept senior leadership in technology both product and engineering are still there even after several failed product launches and bad decisions over many years some even for a decade.
Layoffs in the Texas DFW area too even affecting a few directors
Very good resources are let go. Can’t understand.
Many impacted at all corp locations. Many managers and even directors were left in the dark.
@ay it’s not valid. Maybe for who you talked to, but not everyone.
I heard from a Pleasanton manager that even he (and other managers) did not know who would be laid off, people were provided meeting notices with an HR rep. only 20 mins before the meeting, and that the activity would be complete after the 2:00 pm hour. I do not know if this info. is valid.
@am which teams ?
Many directors are impacted
@a8 there are high chances of round 2
Any update from managers ?
@a5 yes. I know store employees dont like corp employees...but most are the same as store employees living pay check to pay check with mouths to feed and dealing with work stress/drama. Hope they all land on their feet.
Heard some IT have 2 pm meetings to be informed...
Sorry for those who lost their jobs
@OP stop making new threads
Will there be round 2 ?
Will there be round 2 ?
Is it over or still going on?
