No one is immune to vulnerability from a layoff of this magnitude. Regardless of where you are in the organization, please do not fool yourself into believing that you’re immune. The best evidence of this is last year when the San Francisco office closed, taking a huge amount of legacy product knowledge with it. Those folks were blindsided. With a few exceptions, most people in the company started pretending that office never existed and that this huge closure was all that was needed to prevent future mass layoffs.

There are talks about moving tech support oversees. If they don't get hit this time they will soon enough.
Also, big talk about finally outsourcing all MindTap production. When it started it was called 'Project Shovel' and people were actually excited about it. Not a good time to be in those roles.
Customer Support, majority of Tech Support and DSC's are also located in the KY office. I doubt they'll close the doors in Independence.
Kentucky should be okay as far as the office, the actual distribution center makes money and does distribution for other companies.
Clifton Park, Farmington Hills and probably one of the Ohio and/or Kentucky offices.
There are some higher level folks in Mason due to the lower salaries vs Boston but most of their direct reports are other places anyway.
Nope. The company is looking to conserve as much cash as possible. That's the only criteria at this point, as they're just trying to keep the doors open. I could see a minor hub like Farmington Hills or Clifton Park shutting down entirely in this wave.
