The latest in bonkers, after many similar people decisions ... Global , and primary census based product and apps are going to shutdown/replaced by a substandard version of mobile and pc app being marketed internally by technology and engineering as the next big thing. Supposedly this was going to be launched in the end of 2025 but delays and incomplete knowhow across domains has pushed it back repeatedly. Even now, it's incomplete and does not match the previous solution, atleast from Product perspective. But they have let go of every SME and will just roll with whatever... Clients to start moving with competitors soon, botched up long established solution, dissolution imminent.

I know the old Dubin office opened at Polaris but is that place still there? Just wondering. I left the Dublin a couple years before it officially shut down. I've seen posts on this site saying it was going away but never heard if that actually happened.

Our small group was told April 23 is the date

So, was that an actual thing or folks talking out of their 🍑?

I've heard conflicting information on building closures that may be moving forward.
Does anyone have a list of locations, or information on how they're selecting buildings/campuses that are going to be closed? Does anyone know what that means for employees in those locations?
I've heard some locations, and then also heard that some changes in what locations are affected have taken place.
If anyone knows anything they can share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Rumors of an announcement date of 4/20, but I'm not sure if that's accurate, either.

It's interesting I don't see anything in the press... closing call centers probably means hundreds of people are gone.
