This company can't get anything right, they can't even do layoffs right.

I'm hoping there's at least 10k jobs lost. The stock should have a Block style rally after the good news!

If anyone is saying they were made redundant in Ireland it means they have no clue what they are saying. What happens is you will be informed that your job is at risk and a 30 day consultation process begins. Usually, 99% of the time the ppl told of their jobs being at risk are eventually affected but sometimes the actual number may be smaller than initial notification population.

They notified the government in Ireland on Friday, which means 30 or more redundancies. I don't know of anyone affected. I am unsure if anything has been done yet as there are a lot of remote employees.

It seems to be global and across various departments. I’ve seen APAC, Europe, US.
I guess if you have no meeting today you are fine this round, this usually happens on the same day for everyone.

“Important Business Update” usually just means: “You’re fired.”
