Is the Chicago plaza lease still up on Jan 2021 ?
would that mean all IT will be gone a few months before the lease ends?
Any info on Chicago cuts this year?

Changes, changes, changes! UGH.
It looks like some kind of downsizing is being planned at the plaza. Top floors being offered to lease.

Believe There won’t be any major IT presence in a few months if you are not in one of the main hub locations (Plano, Mexico, Poland, & India). Go search job site by these locations and most likely some of your team Job already posted in these locations. A lot of Plano jobs would probably be eliminated as well and that would probably go to the other hubs... so plan for the worst .. if your team gets hit and a handful survive for few additional months to keep the lights on, what the point of sticking around?
I'm at the plaza. Hard to say. On the one hand, all those Pepsi employees were moved in from Schaumburg so that would seem to indicate longer term intentions. But who knows. Like the weather in this area, it changes by the hour.
