Are they happening or not?

@27q It’s not a quality poem, that’s for sure! Reading it is optional.
@OP be patient. Santa is writing letters. Expect deliveries soon.
@sb have you been diagnosed as re--rded or are you just cosplaying? None of that dribble or your later comments were anything close to worth reading.
@OP Soon, very soon! Let me tell you, it will be like during the French Revolution. The Revolution had the most aggressive restructuring program in history. Absolute overhaul. Nobody did layoffs like those guys! Nobody! They called it “liberté, égalité,” but really it was HR with a guillotine, doing performance reviews at record speed. If they didn’t like your résumé? Snip! You were “transitioned out of your role,” very permanently. And trust me, the executives: kings, queens, the whole management team did not get special treatment. People today complain about corporate downsizing, but compared to 1790s France? Those were the golden years, believe me. We may see similar energy by the end of the year.
@OP cuts are happening whether it be november or december....
@OP Let me tell you, folks, the tech industry, it’s something else. Total disaster, okay? They call it “streamlining operations,” but really, they’re firing ten thousand people, great people, the best. Just so some CEO can buy another yacht, probably shaped like Bitcoin, very classy, very futuristic, totally useless.
These trillion-dollar companies, they say they’re being “fiscally responsible”, but believe me, nobody’s better at cutting corners and blaming dark forces than they are.
Then there’s a huge security breach! Millions of lines of code, all over the place, very bad, everybody’s data leaking. And what happens? The CEO gets another big, beautiful bonus for “handling the crisis.” Incredible! Total genius move, for him. Chaos for the workers, champagne for the executives.
But don’t worry, folks. Thursday’s coming! Big things happening. Maybe they’ll pull a rabbit out of the hat, or maybe just another layoff!
@nj just received the first farewell email from a longtime, high-level employee
"The only conversation you'll be having is whether you still have a job" - wasting time on ridiculous workday activities is just part of the daily grind. No one who's actually sane in this company, or in countless others using this software, takes these so-called "mandatory activities" seriously. It's almost laughable how we pretend they matter.
Year end conversations are being postponed indefinitely. The only conversation you'll be having is whether you still have a job as MGMT works to quickly reel in spending in anticipation of sales flat lining post security incident.
The part that really gets at me is knowing that they've probably anticipated this as the plan from the get go. So glad we hired a new VP for human capital career growth or whatever.
I expect to lose a couple and also expect a couple of the keepers to depart on their own terms
@ff Majority of employees haven’t yet experienced this. And most won’t this round either. Sorry if you unfortunately did in the past.
@OP You will see it in the morning when trying to log in.
@OP It's a reasonably safe assumption. They have been performing them consistently for years. Now they are sitting in the driver's seat of the most significant national security breach we've possibly ever seen.
