Don't feel too envious of those that stayed. Based on the financial status of both companies those that stayed are likely facing a 5-20% paycut on top of more work with less help in the upcoming months.

In 2007 everyone was called into their Directors office for a conference call. On the call they told everyone to return to their desk and if their phone rang they were to report to where they were told. It was the most traumatic time I have ever endured in corporate life. Same leadership is mostly still there. That should tell you something...

Not everyone is having a meeting though. You’re only having one if you’re impacted in some way.

I don't think Wednesday is necessarily bad news. If they are laying off 15% of the workforce on Wednesday that means the remaining 85% will have meetings on Thursday. That doesn't seem logical to me.

Heard a lot of people received meetings for tomorrow in addition to all hands meeting. Does that mean all these associates who received emails are let go?
