ai foundry looks untouched, wealth seems pretty protected, while content, dso, product and senior people have all taken hits. if thats intentional, then the layoffs are basically showing us the strategy before leadership actually explains it. are we definately moving away from parts of the old factset core? its wierd that employees have to recieve the strategy by watching which teams survive and which ones get cut. would be useful to seperate cost cutting from actual strategic direction.

It’s a tough time for everyone, and I think it’s still too early to know what the bigger strategy is...
From what I’ve seen, the impact goes well beyond Content, DSO, Product, and senior roles. I’ve also seen Engineering, UX/Technical Writing, Cybersecurity, Developer Services, Talent Acquisition, and Corporate Support affected across different levels and regions.
There seem to be some patterns, but honestly, I don’t think we have enough information yet to know what they mean. Hopefully we'll get more clarity as things settle, and in the meantime, sharing what people are seeing can help everyone get a better sense of what’s happening.
- AI Foundry IS "protected" indeed.
- Wealth seems MUCH less affected than Content/DSO.
- Sr Product and Content knowledge is cut at half (at best).
- Strategy? What strategy? We are basically reading the strategy from who gets cut and that aint no strategy at all.
- It's fu---d up, big time.
