In Brazil, we are in total darkness. The layoffs are supposed to take place until the end of November, as the negotiation period with the union will begin, which (also supposedly) would mean one month of stability until the end of the... — read more 

I’m curious to see if they chose mostly people who haven’t been here that long to reduce the severance obligations. I’ve been here a little over 2 years.

There's got to be somebody in the know here! I'm not asking for anything confidential. Just let us know if there'll be more invites coming or not.

I got an email yesterday at 5pm CST as HOLD-BUSINESS UPDATES. This meeting invite was cancelled at 4:30AM CST and New invite came at the same time as BUSINESS UPDATES with same attendees as earlier email. I am on H1B and my Perm process is pending... — read more 

I understand that folks are stressing about what's on the horizon, but you need to realize that it's not as bad as you envision it to be right now. There are loads of companies out there doing way cooler stuff with way better pay, perks, and work... — read more 

Will we still get next weeks pay as normal payroll and will it be considered separate from any severance?

Am I entitled to any kind of severance if I've been here for under a year?

Until the shinning star decays, Many more waves will come for sure by end of 2024. The poison pill was introduced in company on Dec-2021, since then star tookover TU brand. BOD's will not realize until it falls to deep roots.

Too many unknowns, too much anxiety. Tomorrow will be long, but I hope at least it will be done by the end of the day. I can't take too many sleepless nights.

anybody?

It's peculiar that HR is marked as optional during layoffs. Any thoughts? I'm not expecting a miracle, but this seems unprofessional, especially with the short 30-minute duration. Has anyone else experienced this? Any insights on bonus and severance... — read more 

Can I consider myself safe if I didn't receive an invite today or will there be more sent out tomorrow?

For those of us who received the invite for tomorrow, does this mean tomorrow will be our last day? Or we will slowly off board? Only asking because I got lots of work and have zero motivation to do any considering I have an invite for 9amCST.

Title

When you find out, please inform us of the severance package, in general terms (e.g. salary for x length of time, not actual $). Whatever else might be covered in the package. I'm sure it will be the similar for most of us rank-and-file.

I’m surprisingly calm. This is the first time in my career being laid off. I thought I’d be devastated, but I’m just happy to get out of this place tbh.

Please comment below if people are getting email or anyone you know of are getting invite post 7 PM CST

My meet is with a 3 levels up leader. As a long term employee , I know for a fact that I am the only one thats knows about certain procedures in my group. Things I have not trained anyone. Going to be interesting when that shxt show hits the fan... — read more 

Is this an RIF meeting? A meeting to talk about the changes going on? The meeting language seems different from what others have posted and just says ‘Please hold this time for an important business update. Meeting details to follow.’

Can you please post what position you or someone you know who got RIF’d holds? I would love some kind of context as to who is being affected… as I’m sure everyone else would too.

Trying to sleuth out some information on calendars, is the call invite 15 minutes or a half hour?

Wondering if emails are still going out for west coast/PST people

Need some extra money for Christmas shopping? Don’t forget to withdraw your contributions to the ESPP! There’s no tax because it was taken out after tax already, and fu-k TU - why would you want stock in this shithole company anyway, anymore? — read more 

That our direct managers were kept out of the loop on this? Seems all of us that got notices have meetings with our skip levels and I know my manager is not leaving.

For those involved in layoffs who live in Illinois or Canada. Illinois and Canada have the WARN act that requires, by law, a company to give 60 days notice prior to termination. It reads that pay of the salary and benefits for the period of time... — read more 

Anyone in west coast got the invite?

Anyone get an email or meeting invite like some other US folks mentioned?

How do we know all the emails are out. There is no clarity on if we are impacted or not. What are we supposed to feel anxious till tomorrow ???

with leader and HR person in invite. Leader is not manager. Meeting 'to provide important business updates'. Asks that I be a 'space to speak privately'. Adios, amigos.

1300 meeting invites and adding 2600 people to its. In FEW hours. Now HR will know how this word FEW sounds and feels like. When they said 10% layoffs next FEW weeks.

Has anybody done got one of them invites like Chris was talkin' 'bout in his email today?

I like how the message implies that those with unimportant roles can work from home but obviously if they aren't important roles, those are the ones getting cut.

Share what you can.

I’m glad we have this forum to share info and talk po-p. They can’t shut down this board like they’ll shut down our emails/teams.

Can someone post the announcement?

Fire Chris and Venkat and you could save at least $156 million. Set an example of accountability here. These two have ruined a health company. This should be taught in college courses how a CEO can destroy a company.

Rumor has it there's a big company-wide announcement on the horizon, set to drop around 2:00 PM CT today. Managers will be lining up meetings from this afternoon through tomorrow morning to break the news of impending layoffs.

What a joke
