There will be two groups - first group will be in late September after the next big conversion. Second group will be on Oct 1 or 2 for those that don't show up on RTO. This will allow them to give 60 days notice to each group and then pay out lump sum severance and have the books closed with all this bull$hit by year end (if they follow prior layoffs) This will also ALLOW them to do it all remotely without any face to face. So BEWARE of any pop up skip level meetings that just randomly occur on your calendar.

Any reason to get a round of layoffs in by and of Q3? If so, I think it has to happen in the next few days to allow the 60 days.
Seems likely the bulk of announcements would take place in the next 2 weeks. Then the WARN notice comes which is 60 days notice in advance of October 1. This is how they side step a bulk of the RTO/corporate real estate logistic issues.
This has likely been in the works for a while and will happen fast. While our EC has made some boneheaded decisions, even they know it’s not good for your workforce to be coming in everyday worrying about their jobs.
I am not sure they want this to drag out thru the end of the year. If people have already been let go then that was planned months ago - not yesterday. I think the larger numbers will be gone by end of October. And I agree with the prior poster that I am sure they would rather do it remote than facing people or groups face to face. They really want to give you a computer and desk and get you all set up just to let you go. They would also need to increase security in the buildings on the days they are doing layoffs - really? All needless expense and once people RTO they don't want this dragging them down EVERY DAY
This is not something that just started yesterday - it has been in the works for months
Please god put me in the first group
I heard some people have already been let go, not sure on details though.
There is so much change happening I don't think this is going to come down to just two groups or layoff waves. Each business unit will have to reorganize and will handle layoffs when they are ready. It'll be ongoing from August through probably end of November. Some drips, some bigger flows out.
Maybe but Oct 1st or 2nd may be a bit early. They may have to wait a few days or so to fire you as job abandonment (failure to RTO).
