I'm wondering what you think - which groups will be the safest, and which the most impacted?

Too many force leave in SG, some already took “advance leave”…does severance in SG always 1month/year of service?

November 1 was mentioned several times before as the date when cuts will start. Has that been confirmed or not? I'm not looking forward to a sleepless night and then finding out that I worried and stressed for nothing. I would highly appreciate it if... — read more

I know many of you hate that we were told about cuts in advance, but I'm grateful. This gives me plenty of time to prepare both mentally and in general. That'll make the whole process much easier, whatever happens in the end. If I didn't have this... — read more 

STST are going to get 8 weeks for every year for engineers and up

Over the decades of watching these little dance parties, I have come to the conclusion that about 20% of the RIFs are done in a thoughtful way. The remaining 80% have been real head scratchers that could only come from HR mandates. The number of... — read more 

What a time to enjoy .

I guess they expect the rest of us to compensate for those who were cut by working two or three times more than we have so far. Sc--w the fact we're already overworked, they can aleays push us for more, right? I don't think things will play out as... — read more

Confirmed RIF of 3000. No dates specified but employees to be informed 'in coming weeks'.

More forced and unpaid leaves to take except for those in management area which seems like a biased action in the company

I feel more than miserable about the fact that I'm still here. The best have left a long time ago, but I was hoping that something would change for the better and remained stuck here. Some have decided on quiet quitting, but that is also quite... — read more 

The issue of RIFs isn't "if" they will happen it is "when" they will happen and how deep they will go. Losing a huge number of sales of HDDs from our customers for FY23 is going to hurt, badly. The impact isn't even known yet. Cuts to funding... — read more

I don't even care about layoffs anymore. If it happens, it happens. What I'm tired of is people glamorizing being overworked. It's not normal to work weekends and it's not normal to work holidays. You should not have to skip your kid's birthday... — read more 

I am sure it will happen in 2023 but we are good for now

Maybe after makes more sense?

Worrying ahead of time just wastes your energy. It is better to do the minimum required, polish your resume, look for new options, expand your network of contacts, try to save some money and the like. If a layoff happens, it's not the end of the... — read more
