Just under 10 years, multiple RIFs, they do NOT stop them, even when they make zero sense (so not something you can anticipate) if you don’t believe they are coming or posting such you are obviously new or execs It’s inevitable. “We have made a number of essential changes already, with still more to come in our leadership, business practices and processes….some parts of our business need real change.” GL all

@ax No

As reported by RIFed employees, most RIF meetings are 15 minutes long where attendees are muted, not allowed to ask questions & speaker reads from a script.

Most RIF meeting invites are sent the morning of the RIF. But, a very small portion of RIFed people said they received the meeting invite the night before the RIF.

Is it possible for an RIF to happen through a town hall meeting?

Did they say this in print? A town hall. I am thinking it is a rumor.

400,000 2022, increase from 2021
440,000 2023, increase from 2022
