If you have to ask which department(s) then it's probably yours. If you aren't critical to the day-to-day ops and money makers then you're out.

Steelhead, steelfusion expect more migration to India. For connect, pray. But 10% is expected in July if the numbers don’t start going up. 2018 first half was ok, so we are being compared with relatively good quarters in 2018. Just hope the internet slows down so that wanopt can squeeze a bit more.

Lol, the recent share price adjustment led to a 66% drop in share price for the small people. Class A shareholders are still reaping the compound interest at nearly 10% according to the rumor. This is the biggest pyramid scheme/scam ever. I remembered HR saying I would get $20 per share for the $0.09 purchase price. My money was safer in the bank. Some people were saying they will be millionaires, well they are jobless now.

Yes there are two times you can make money with a company, but the company was founded long ago and the de facto exit happened with the TB transition. You will not get rich off of any future “liquidity events” here unless you are very high up.

You better be, with all these rounds of layoff. You know it's just coming but you have Stockholm syndrome and trying to avoid reality!

The timing tells me that there is something planned well ahead of June. The June event is just to realign with some other company’s SKO. Getting close. I smell sweet money. There are two times when you can make money with a company - at the founding stage and at the exit stage.

If true- the reply about more summer layoffs is troubling. So is going into our 2nd year of forced vacation in the U.S. in July and November. Unfortunately this site seems to mostly predict bad events accurately. Also- who has an SKO during the 2nd week of the last month of the quarter (June)? Sales is under tremendous pressure the last month of every quarter and now they'll be at a party?????

The attrition isn’t natural if you prime the pump of discontent with layoffs.

If the layoffs don't result in enough natural attrition, there is another round planned for the summer. If they would just get rid of some of the old weight who can't think their way out of a box (L. Spence (what a nightmare, stuck in 1990) , Paul M. (stuck in old ways too. We aren't Cisco), J. Theler (biding his time) and replace them with some progressive thinkers we might have a chance. Maybe.

9 months to go till 2020, I am sure there are at least 3 rounds of layoffs, big or small, lined up for this year based on the past.
