Any idea how many and which teams are impacted? They reorgd our entire engineering teams and i heard massive layoffs are coming on 30th and again next month, with 4 rounds planned as contact center is generating dozens of millions of overhead losses each year and on top of the list for 2026 cost reduction. Our VP jumped ships leaving us in a deep mess, TBH he was an a--hole and a nasty red neck type snake with a foul mouth. All Sr directors and above have been asked to provide a list and their bonus will be determined by the cost savings and offshore ratio they can show. My wife is close to a Sr director even he doesn't know how many but provided a vague explanation while asking her to compile a list

@c1 which org/team?
@12g Jumpet ships whilst ahead, better jobs out there if you are flexible with pay till the market picks up. I joined a competitor, best decision ever, I can sleep at night.
Just had a strange meeting with my manager in consumer engineering. Our systems are being moved to a different platform. The show is being run by offshore and contractors. I think we are fu---d!
@c1 it is not. They have to show cost savings. Offshoring is an implied tactic, though not specifically stated. The more low wage offshore workers, the more the saving and funding pool, the more the bonus. It's implied.
The only way management knows how to save costs in an IT company this chaotic is to fire people, so i dont find it that hard to believe
@OP I'm a Sr director , Most of the post sounds reasonably true, except the part where Sr Directors were to their bonuses were tied to offshoring. That part is nonsense.
