@6bq

I don't think so, Gary's email said "one coordinated workforce action".

If this accounts for only 4% of the workforce, does that mean additional reductions could occur to reach around 10%?

So for anyone if this is your first time going through this at Applied, it typically happens mid week and they have people security posted at the door. Usually your manager is there but this one was different. Your manager’s manager will reach out for a 1:1, which already tells you that you got cut. They read off a script and then you go home. By now, they should be done with US locations. I was told that Taiwan will find out on Sunday and theirs had to wait for regulations or something like that.
