Checking in to see if there were any 4 pm / EOD comms or meeting invites stateside. It was reported that TII received invites at 4 pm IST
They certainly achieved one thing
With the way this is being handled, I know I'll be looking to leave whether I'm affected or not and I know so many others who feel the same. I don't know if that was the goal, but if it was, I think they might be surprised at how good it worked when... — read more
Did we ever determine what's going to take the worst hit?
I hate the lack of info from management.
Almost time
I know a lot of people are upset and venting right now, and that’s totally understandable. I just want to say that I really appreciate everyone here. There aren’t many spaces where we can share, ask questions, and stay anonymous. We’re all in this... — read more
Diversity and Inclusion team should take a beating
The constant pandering got us in huge trouble.
Tech or engineering affected?
Anyone hear anything about tech or engineers being affected by the layoffs? We’ve essentially received no communication from our managers, directors, or VPs since the news came out
Come back, Informant!
We need that person or people who had the very solid info before The Email came out to come back and feed us more. How is tomorrow going to unfold? This one isn't like the last one (2015). There was no notice ahead of time. Can someone who knows... — read more

There are "new" and "active" buttons on this site
"active" is useful for me as it sorts posts by latest reply. it's a big blue button listed under "comment" button. hope it helps.
and therein lies the problem...
TII offshoring + rework, also time zones & duplication keep coming up as cost‑savings on paper. But in real life all of this creates waste in practice... The board is salivating as they are looking at cost savings projectiosn but they are clueless... — read more
Admins
Do we think they are changing the reporting structure for admins to a higher amount of leaders per person? If your an admin, and you have a open role (vp, SVp or sr) are you getting let go too?
design is our north star
saying 'design is our north star' while utterly gutting OB sends the opposite signal to both our teams & guests... this can work a bit, but eventually this will cost us big time. i do not want to rant about this too much as today is a very difficult... — read more

I know tomorrow morning is when the meeting will be, but anyone know timing of when invites will go out? 4pm today or 7:30 tomorrow morning?

Layoffs in India
Do you know what the impact will be on India? How deep and wide will the cuts be and who is being laid off?
CAREFUL: Job Search Timing
If you start a new job before the 60 days are up, you won’t receive severance pay.If you get a new job but delay your start date until after 60 days, you’ll still get your severance check.This depends on the layoff terms and when you sign the... — read more
Personal files on work laptop
I understand we should not have personal documents on work laptop but if you have them, how are you transferring them? Is email the best way to go
Is IT spying on me?
I sent several legitimate personal documents to my own email today and noticed something in my Mac Finder under “locations” I’ve never seen before. Under iCloud Drive and OneDrive, there was a network icon titled “my first name” in all... — read more

Transparency is Non-Existent
The biggest issue I am having with this layoff thing, is the absolutely lack of transparency they are giving us. What a failure on leaderships part and especially this new CEO. What a way to make your first real impact on the company — your... — read more
anyone else freaked out the team voice sent out?
I didn’t receive it but some people on my team did, wondering if this means i’m on the block for the morning or if it just random (and insanely tone deaf)
I’m really grateful I found this forum
The past few weeks (or even months) have been tough, but hearing from others who are going through the same thing has been oddly comforting. It helps to know I’m not the only one feeling this dread and uncertainty right now.
RTO vs layoffs
as a remote employee i’m surprised they haven’t asked all remote employees (yet) to return to office or resign as a first wave. that way they’d save $ with paying out severance. i know they have asked specific roles to do so but not yet company wide... — read more
Good vibes from a customer
Hi everyone, I'm sorry for what's happening this week. I hope Target doesn't just turn around and post those roles in India. Anyway, the top 10% of earners drive 50% of consumer spend. The other 90% are tapped out, and offshoring jobs definitely... — read more
It's Out | TII has received private invites for tomorrow
Seems like the mails went out at 4 pm!
What’s the first thing you’d do if you got laid off?
I know a lot of people will jump straight into applying, but I plan to take a week or two to clear my head and just breathe. None of this has been easy, and I think taking a little time to calm down and reset is important. But I don’t have a partner... — read more
