We’re drowning trying to keep projects and services afloat with the staff we have, and leadership is still planning to cut more people? It’s ridiculous and completely out of touch. How do they expect anything to get done?

@aq really great comment to sum up your 'caring' nature. get back to the protests... they do not pay you to comment here.
You must be new, layoffs are a three month occurrence. Better get used to it bozo.
90 THOUSAND employees is not short staffed
My heart goes out to all of you impacted.
@ba
Thank you for sharing that, maybe it was performance related/politics/etc from their point of view, but does not matter anymore. Going to focus on what I can do and show them wrong elsewhere :).
This round is wrapped up in the U.S. for now, except for folks who are out on leave—they’ll find out once they’re back. I’m expecting there will be more, though. As a notifying manager, I got an email last week with instructions on how to deliver the bad news. The details came in a restricted-access file called UnitedStates-Phase1. That “Phase1” part definitely caught my attention.
My heart goes out to all of you impacted. For those still here, I’d plan on there being more rounds—especially if you’re at the bottom of your team performance-wise, if your manager isn’t a fan, or if you’re tied to a product that isn’t doing well.
So caring. Guessing folks commenting were raised in a run-down mobile home, by their step-mom; who took the belt out, if they forgot to buy her cigarettes on the walk home from school.
what do you care about "getting anything done"??
if you want agency and a sense of accomplishment, start your own thing or go to a startup
or are you locked into a life of self-realization only achieved by closing jira tickets at McCorp?
At this point focus on whats within your control
New here?
