So the way script goes is,
It has been strategically decided that your position is being eliminated with broader interest towards shift in technology and geo political landscape.
the decision does not reflect your ability to fully function as an associate and the decision is strictly driven based on parameters beyond the control of global market shift.
You will be notified separately on how your shares, 401k will be vested.
We thank you for your contribution and all the best in your journey .
None of the changes have anything to do with AI. Literally none, we are not seeing any value from it, not enough to actually fire people. It's just the d-mb Spotify agile model.
@ag assume they mean war, oil price impacts
Why "geo-political" is there? Hasn't Dalian already been dealt with?
Total BS
@ab pretty sure the real thing was diluted/paraphrased heavily to avoid being snagged
Imagine: delivery message template slightly varied so HR can identify leakers
@ab if it seems like written by 8 y/o then it makes sense
The IQ majority of people manager in this firm have matches that
Baloney. That “statement” reads like something written by an eight year old.
Ok, I don’t believe anything on this forum anymore. Some of you are agents of chaos. Maybe you get a kick out of others misery.
So they’d rather use AI nonsense instead of the power of the human mind. Wow! How insulting and disgusting.
What a thoughtful and well-written script, curated by co-pilot no doubt. (Insert eye roll)
@a3 i thought the number was closer to 2000
@a2 Would you be willing to share if there’s any pattern to the associates chosen for layoff? Are they paid more than other, EP, IP, locations, etc.
I could see them pulling the AI thing. They have been doing so many insane random AI pushes all of 2026. My BU we are asked to come up with AI success stories to share every week.
guys are you 100% serious ? is this true?
Is that the actual script they're using? There's so much noise right now regarding the numbers—I've seen everything from 2,800 to 4,000. Has anything actually been confirmed yet?
@a1 OP here
this is what i was communicated to tell my impacted associates tomorrow
Ai takes tons of money and maintenance. Babysitting really.
