What severance will those who were laid off be getting? For some reason I can’t shake the feeling that tomorrow will be another round of layoffs. Anyone have any knowledge ?

I'm at OI and my team was pulled into a meeting this morning to let us know 2 people on our team were let go and that the layoff was across the organization. How far that spans, I don't know. They've also been giving us projects so that they can automate our jobs but we're being told it's fine, it'll just free us up for other, more specialized work. We were hit a few months back too and have had a number of people who have left voluntarily and they aren't backfilling.

Layoffs are happening. Most of us will follow them unless you’re fortunate to be given white glove executive separation treatment or find employment elsewhere. Good luck all. I hope our leaders know what they are doing.
