Whoever said nothing is planned right now is honestly an incredibly naiive individual. I don't want to call you out, but Jesus, seriously? How sheltered/disconnected from the business are you?
Essentially everyone who works at HQ already is aware that something big is coming out Friday. They don't announce early bc of how the stock could react to the news absent context - which will be what the q4 earnings call provides. Maybe if you learned a little more about how the game/corporate rat race worked, you would understand. In fact, here's some homework - go look at recent earnings calls by other companies and identify how many of them announced layoffs. And then check their message boards here to see what the conversation looked like prior to the official public announcement
