The rif is universal to all locations, all bands, and all groups. The 5/7 rif is the same as November with slightly less total. Our 13 person team was exempt last time. My director said that won’t be the case this time and won’t confirm if I’m safe or not.
I hate what big red is doing to hard working Americans!

Heard from mgmt, end of May is next wave of layoffs. It is not across the board, but there will be RIF. No way to confirm, as this is not something even management could confirm beyond this. I m in GNT.

My manager told us that our entire department is working from home next week, across LM BR and others. Maybe just them being nice? Haha

My supervisor told me the rumors online are true. That there will be layoffs. Not sure where he gets his information from though. I am in BR. Doesn't seem like it would be location dependent

Can we please state what dept you're in if you were told to wfh?

WFH makes it easier to notify people. I did that few years ago and it has since been my preference. I think it is better for the employee being notified as well. Moments after notification are really hard no matter what.

Band 5+ have been notified already.

Good luck everyone!

Im working from home next week. Sr director told me similar. Said band 6-8 are most at risk, with more happening to band 7 and 6. Only 25% band 8. I’m 4th floor lake Mary, but its the whole building I’m told.

There is no layoffs going on... that date was made up by a poster today and now that post has been removed. Someone confessed to making up the date and did it as a joke.

@a3 we have massive cuts in November and we were all in the office. None of us were told to work from home

I asked and my director and she says we are set to come in next week for Lake Mary. I guess we’re exempt from all this layoff talk.

My director said the same thing. My LM teammates and I have to WFH next week. None of our non LM teammates are required to.
