@6m9 box person here and no, was not let go. It was either a brutal coincidence or the hit will come later. Regardless my heart goes out to all that were affected…what a crummy way to start the holiday season and close the calendar year.
So..... did the person who got sent the box get impacted? I have to know if they messed up that bad or if it was just a coincidence.
The rumour seems to turn out to be true.
@4ye that's legally concerning.
Somewhere 25% somewhere 100% :)
@5rb manager doesn’t know anything about why i got delivery so, no. The hopeful person inside of me wants to think it was an error but my logical side knows better. To the person asking about a 1:1 with manager next Weds, as of now, no.
@4ye has there been any developments since you got the box? Interested to know if they’ve actually spoken with you
Is anyone else having 1x1s booked with their manager for next Weds?
ISG
@5ej that’s strange. hope it’s nothing consequential. are you in ISG or IDG?
Interesting, I just got a meeting invitation to formally update all my documents and responsibilities in a share point with my bosses assistant. Weird
@55d i dont think there's a firm date out there yet, my gut says next 2 weeks
When is it happening? Keep hearing about it.
@52x i only know of ISG but that doesn’t mean much since i don’t have any inside info other than me and EMEA ISG
@52x sorry, my knowledge is limited. It sounds like across the board - sales & non-sales included.
@52q what teams are going to be affected?
@52p so far ISG only I’ve heard. IDG / SSG clean. Open to be corrected.
Is this ISG only? Nothing for IDG?
@518 yes the writing has been on the wall for several months. watching these blog posts had me on alert for quite some time too. i know there are layoffs happening in Europe soon too.
@4ye. That is brutal. Did you have any idea it was coming? Boss acting funny or anything?
@4yj US ISG
@4yr US ISG
@4ye WOW. Sorry to hear. What is your BU?
What's the latest in ISG? I feel like something is brewing.
@4ye wow, that's crazy. What group are you in? I think something is afoot too.....ish keep us posted.
@4y5 i’m a remote employee and UPS delivered an empty box off today, A SATURDAY, with a laptop return label. Someone sh-t the bed and i know what to expect this coming week.
So what’s the update? any more news?
I believe it. We were asked for our travel expense reports from last year. They want to see how they can cut down on travel and who spends the most. They are starting austerity measures now and will probably get rid of some people before the end of the year.
2nd tier? I'd say more like sh!t tier.
It didn’t happen Lenovoviats. Rest easy while you work from home. AI seems to ignore you 2nd tier tech companies.
Those of you who just post percentages and timeframes with no additional information are messed up! Are you telling me that someone told you that 25% and NOTHING else? Or that the notifications will start this week with no other details?? This is our lives, and you are stressing people the F out!
@1p4 what groups?
hearing notifications will be going out week of 10/13
What is ISG?
@yn second this. If you got details, spill. How bout timing?
Tell us more so that we can be prepared as possible. What groups, technologies or teams will be affected? Speak up here!
@hy what is the buyout? I think everybody just gets a week or two pay per year, correct?
@hq SSG is great margin and the street love it, open your mind little brother!
With AI advancements and project Vector they have been laying the foundation down for this event for months. Hopefully the buyouts are reasonable for those 25% of folks affected.
Seems like a low number ... Needs to be much higher. Also SSG is all smoke and mirrors. A
