Saw a couple posts on LinkedIn stating while their time at MDT ended they feel grateful. One had >20 years and the other <5.

Yea I got riffed and rehired under a different role for the same pay in the same department. Needless to say I got a raise, a nice from office and more responsibility than my original manager role, at an external place. Couldn't be happier. At least here managers work together for the good of the company versus their appearance and self promotion. Good luck to ya'll fighting the anxiety of another riff every few months!
A lot of dead wood to trim across the org, including CEO, board, and ExCom.
Makes sense. This is a reflection of leadership from the top.
A friend of mine who usually in knows these things in advance said there will likely be rounds of layoffs in November/December and again in April/May.
Saw another LinkedIn post on being impacted: a GOSC Sr Director.
Seems to me that GOSC is such an unstable ground. Restructuring constantly.
At this point it’s easier to ask if we are in the clear and there are NO layoffs coming/in progress.
The answer being a simple No - because every season is layoff season around here.
Does anyone think they're holding them until next week because it will be Q3?
Yes there are RIFs in progress. I know of quite a few being "processed" for disposal. I don't want to give details of numbers and locations out of fear of discovery. It is also going to continue until December. They are desperately trying to prevent fear spreading to those they want to retain.
I'm already doing the job of 3 people. Can't wait to get more work after the RIF
Nah, everyone likely got a different end date, Contractors/Temps maybe 10/31, FTEs 12/31, VISA holder I read here only until their projects are complete. Best of lucks to all impacted.
