Definitely seems like they are working through the remaining wi ag people bit by bit. They want us to train our replacements first. "Gentle people, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight." cue sinking ship

@s1 Do you know how many were let go at AG? I didn't think there were many left.

@s1 really? They're cleaning house at the brand that sells extremely expensive dolls not sold in big box stores? Big box stores that sell alternative dolls almost as good for half the price? Weird, what are they thinking?

@ng that su-ks. FWIW, I was laid off a few years ago and looking back on it now, it was the best thing that could have happened to my career. Good luck.

@gf just a regular dude with basic logic and reasoning…oh and empathy too, I have that. When these traits combine, I care more about the humans affected in these circumstances than linkng my pockets. Also I WORK here so I don’t troll this site for scraps of info I’m not entitled to otherwise. Hbu?

@am a--hole, I know it’s hard to believe but internal emails are for internal people. Clear as fu--ing day. If you’re not an employee going through layoffs get a hobby until the time you actually are entitled to the info.

@aj I know it's hard to believe, but information about layoffs at large, publicly traded companies could be of interest to people who don't work for the company. Crazy, I know.

Heads are starting to roll but not sure who yet.

If you didn’t get the emails then you probably don’t work here so move along because you don’t need to know
