More layoffs have been promised. Brian MacDonald does not have a clear plan for the future of CDK.

I know there are many at CDK who are comfortable, who have been there a long time, who are settled in their roles. 10,15,30 years. By now, they are used to layoffs (they have survived them, including July 2018 and 2022) management sc--w ups and disruptions. They are used to being treated poorly, but feel they don't want to change jobs or disrupt their lives. Some just ignore it all. Everyone has their reasons (some might be close to retiring and toughing it out), but depending on what yours are for staying, know that no matter what you do, there is likely better options out there..either with other DMS companies, or in other industries. What is stopping you from being treated better by an employer? CDK has been losing ground to competitors for years now, and that will continue.
Least from last time they seemed to have trimmed down on management already they let them go first then went down the chain further.
I bet its management's turn. There are too many departments with more chiefs than indians, and it's time to trim that managerial fat.
They're not going to give a warning about something like this. I would expect them to wait until sometime after the bonus payment. You could also get the last few weeks of production if you are paying for them.
Any details like when and how many?
