If the company says there'll be layoffs, it'd be nice if they then proceeded to have said layoffs. What's the point of letting us know weeks in advance? All that's achieving is raising the anxiety levels for a whole bunch of us and making us stress unnecessarily for weeks. I'd prefer to get it over with right now.

They know exactly who they are laying off and when.
They are delaying as an anxiety tactic hoping to force as many people as possible to leave the company on their own free will, thus minimizing the cost of the severance package
program.
Anyone who has not caught on to this fact knows very little about this company or the people leading the transformation.
The new leadership consists of a group of malignatly narcissistic sociopaths who have a long history of backstabbing, scheming and destroying the reputation of their coworkers to climb the career ladder.
The are will fall before the end of the month with Tuesday the 25th being the most probable date.
Everyone knows that the HR text books say that Tuesday's are the best day for layoffs because all the paperwork can be completed without having to pay the administrative staff executing the paperwork overtime.
The other thing to remember is that the leadership will make the date at the end of the month to insure the company gets the value of a full months insurance premiums but does not have to pay the upcoming month's insurance premiums.
Yeah, I'd take my severance and whistle all the way out the plant. Been wanting to leave P66 for a while now
I am going anywhere! They can pay me a severance package if they are going to let me go.
Was straight up told by our maintenance manager that that's the game they're playing. He's pretty pi---d off at the whole thing...
I wouldn't mind so much if they didn't keep patting themselves on the back for being so "transparent". To any of the thousand overpaid as--s occupying BT chairs right now: you are doing a bad job, and you should feel bad
I feel the same way. Honestly, though, that's probably a tactic they're using...the more people who jump ship before layoffs, the less severance packages they have to pay out.
