Do notices usually go out first thing in the morning or later in the day?
I'm hoping it's the former one, I'd like to get this over with as soon as possible, so I can move on with my life whatever the result is.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.
To be clear, these are phone conference forums but for anyone not affected, please leave the lines open for those who need them. As time pass, and you were not called upon but curious for what may occur in the next round, wait a few weeks to call in....it will educate you on how things are run.
OP, in the last 2-3 years it has been a morning notification (mostly starting with an email) to expect a phone call. They prefer you acknowledge the first before making the call. They will be reading from a prepared script so try not to take offense if you, or anyone, gets that call. Afternoon calls might be scheduled as an open conference giving the ‘all clear’ with other mentions to be aware of.
An envelope will be sent out giving everyone the next step, and choices that must be made, to start transitioning out. Q & A’s will be set up in an open conference forums, space is limited to maybe 400+, I don’t remember.
Don’t panic as the Q & A’s are repeated as live forums, and as a rule they are hosted by two persons for 60-90 minutes, taking calls. You can ask your own by getting in line but many drop off as many ask the Q’s we were ready to ask.
If possible to record on your own, I suggest it, if you know the call is coming for you....record that too, as well as necessary call to HR, accuracy is extremely important.
I took part in the October 2016 Surplus, I understand....good luck
Most likely sometime this morning, I head it's going to be a blood bath
