There're more people than usual in my building. My manager also scheduled a group meeting, which is very unusual. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid. Well, in any case, good luck all.

Congrats on your promo! Enjoy the new responsibility of people management on top of your day to day responsibilities of a principal with the same pay. Titles honestly don't mean anything at WD. I've seen supervisors making North of 190k, because HR didn't want the new people coming in to hurt the existing seniors feelings...

Thanks to the managers for leaving. I just got news that I am turning into a Senior manager from a Principal Engineer.

A bunch of supervisors and managers turned in their badges today. Curious who's going to be left at the helm... Maybe they are attempting a symbolic repeat of the titanic. The company obviously doesn't value the people generating their revenue and creating their product... lol

Probably not. The market is improving. Many will leave voluntarily by November.

That's probably true... these a--holes always have layoffs right before xmas.

Boss: "Merry Christmas & Happy New Years, btw you have no job any more. Good luck!"
