No layoff, last layoff asked me to work at home the next day. Could be announcing upcoming layoffs though

84.51 contractors also got the invite. Which makes me think it's not a layoff. Probably KCC or Greg/other VP is stepping down.

@an Unless they install badge out readers or demand full remote workers to move I am not sure what else they could do.

Then again they were cagey last time they were asked about if remote works would be called into the office.

@am They could still be laying people off, wouldn't put it past them. They just may be transparent before it happens to give people a chance to volunteer and start looking for other work maybe.

I'm guessing they are announcing leadership updates or maybe kicking off a potential company wide reorg.

I wonder if there’s a new in office expectation?

@ah A code freeze maybe? We have them in KTD around holidays or high traffic events. Basically we don't release new code during these freezes so we don't break anything when we are busy. I haven't heard anything about that yet though
