I received mine via smoke signals. Given how proficient the C suite is at “bl0wing smoke”, I thought it somewhat fitting.
Mine was delivered by carrier pigeon as well. My eagle ate the pigeon. I have photos. Eagle wants me to ask HR to resend.

They are, in fact, paying relocation for some people. Moving expenses, real estate help, with option that company will buy home if it doesn't sell.

Too many questions.
I only knew about three waves for hub re-location. What are these new notifications? Wave 4??
Notification went out in the spring of 2023 when Stankey announced office consolidations. Job relocation has been known to be coming for over two years now.
My boss called me and said an offer letter (for the same role, but sitting in Dallas) was going to be emailed to me. After a long uncomfortable wait, in appeared in my inbox. The letter was simply an offer. It gave me an option to accept. If I took no action, it advised me of the risk of job elimination.
If you do not plan on moving, do not respond. A non-response will be taken as a refusal to relocate which you don’t plan to do anyway. By not responding you are effectively denying them of evidentiary evidence of self termination. They know this. Without a positive response indicating relocation or self-termination, they will send a follow up email notifying you that your role is no longer needed. Keep this email. This is your settlement email for wrongful termination, especially if you are a protected class.

I just got an email. It said I had two weeks to respond via a cr-ppy Sharepoint form. No response would be taken as a refusal to relocate. My boss got the same email at the same time.
Does it matter?
