@5oxn+1nb3KbQ7 Generally the LL6s with few direct reports spend their days doing GSR work because they used to have a team of 6-8 people and still have that level of workload coming in.

LL5s, 4s and 3s keep the number of reports for themselves and those below them low because no one likes spending days preparing PRs. The more reports the more PRs.
Plus more LL6s mean more opportunity to reward the friends and family members.
The number of direct reports has been on the radar of upper-management for years. That's why this round will heavily impact LL3s, LL4s, LL5s and LL6s. No one is safe and the management ranks are about to get much leaner.
When some of these new executives came in and saw the cost of managing, maintaining and the logistics around management leases they flipped their cookies! And that is another reason they want to thin the management ranks. My sources are saying that it will be under a 3 to 1 ratio, GSR to LL layoffs. More around 2.5 to 1. That means for every 1000 GSRs cut, 400 LLs will be cut. So if the 8000 number is right, that's means just under 6000 GSRs, agency, and contract heads, and just over 2000 LLs.
That means that LL direct reports are set to more than double when this is all said and done.
Less people means more work for the survivors. Couple that with full RTO and it might be better to be among the 8k!
@5oxn - Projects or programs?
If any of you knew HOW MANY LL6 in my dept with little to no (1-3 ppl max) direct reports you’d understand where a big chunk of the money is going. WTH are the people managing?!?
Word on the street is that fully remote workers will be high up on the list. Some will be given the opportunity to relo to SE Michigan but not all.
