Shareholder vote whether to acquire SanDisk or not is March 15. Wonder if outcome of the vote will impact layoffs? Just guessing, but if SanDisk acquisition does not happen, fewer WD SSD people should be laid off...? http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2016/02/29/western-digitals-vote-count/

I heard the Friday rumor as well. It's already Wed. but when I checked with my manager he still saying he has no idea on this.
By announcement do you imply that the employees who will be thrown out be informed of their lay off?
Rumor said that there will be some announcement on this friday.
