You'll see layoffs at end of Q3 followed by more targeted layoffs in Q1. You will see RTO for Jax office and others will be forced to move there or be replaced

@an Yup. Thry did this in 2024 as well. I was laid off in September. At least I got good severance, 12 weeks of salary. And I was there less than 2 years. Looks like this years' layoffs don't get that.
@29f Yes AI replacement is on the agenda for Q1
@c6 how safe do you think customer success managers will be? Do you think those positions will be AI’d away?
Please get rid of CTO, President of NA first. They eroded the company.
Anyone involved in AI will be on the chopping block. CEO has a real woody for AI, will bring in own AI teams whilst canning current teams for lack of any material AI progress
Execs are golden parachuting in Q4—already pocketed massive paydays from the deal close. Meetings are just a show to keep up the morale. Moody’s execs blocked by non-competes, but other external Silicon Valley talent is ready.
RTO unlikely. Remote workers safe. Key RTB staff stays; consultants safe but productivity monitored. DUNS Expansion, AI, Dublin projects under microscope. SMB spin-off(?). Data Supply Chain modernization ramps up, boundaries may be drawn to decouple Risk, Batch and Sales products from Prime and D+. India GCC investment will double with a strategic executive search launched. Europe is safe. The sum of parts is more valuable than the whole. Be ready to answer this Elon Musk question - What did you get done this week?
I’ll stay low-key, keep my team safe and try to ride it out.
End of Q3 or very begin of Q4 is what I predict especially with any bonus and or commissions that drop in Q4 for sales teams, think pay out for them is Nov/Dec? and any annual bonus that'll drop months later. Clear Lake will try to avoid paying that out there job is to save money by cutting costs.
Private Equity like Clear Lake will wants a clean book going into Q1 so all layoffs, severance, warn pay, org changes, or whatever it may be is executed & accounting is booked appropriately for 2025. I can't see them dragging this into Q1 2026 and then execute, it's not a private equity thing to do normally...but I could be wrong...
@OP is this speculation or are meeting rooms booked? How does this affect other offices outside USA?
