For the vast majority, if you’re being laid off you’ll be told on Monday morning. If your direct leader is not being impacted but also wasn’t part of the NDA group, they’ll receive confirmation of who they’re to lay off (“the list”) today and will be the one to tell you. Most leaders are already pretty certain of who it will be but the list being sent today will confirm that. Everyone is anxious over the potential for that list to contain some curve ba--s. If your leader is also getting laid off, it’ll be your two up or a peer of your boss who will inform you because no one being laid off will be tasked with first laying someone else off.
Last week, MDs had a big meeting about all this. On Wednesday (2 days ago), all people leaders not being laid off but having to lay someone else off had the meeting to receive training on how it all needs to happen. Monday will run on a tight timeline with a prescribed order of operations. HR has deadlines for each time zone on when employees need to be told by and then right after, meetings will be held with those people’s directs to inform them that their leader was laid off.
For everyone still employed when this is all over, reorgs galore await.
Sending strength and good fortune to all.
