Thread regarding BB&T Corp. layoffs

Why the secrecy?

The little media coverage I find of the layoffs at BB&T have no details because the company is declining to say how many people were laid off. Why? What is the point of secrecy?

Here's the latest example:

It's 25% for BB&T, I don't know the percentage for Suntrust.

I guess we all know now, the secrecy was due to the merger announced on yesterday

The secrecy is because they don't want to spook investors or entice non-laid-off workers from leaving on their own.
