If you believe these layoff rumor bots then you believe that pigs can climb trees. These are the pig climbing trees general bots.

This is serious folks. Joe used to talk a bit even if HT did all the talking.

Oh yeah. Xi came out today. Lukashenko is in town and leaving today. We are fine for now. HT can talk all he wants. We are good.

Dont get too excited about the stock. They will drop it to 220 230 after the earnings call. Its called buy the rumor and sell the news. Its the oldest trick in the stock market casino.

Anyone knows what happened to Xi. He doesn't talk much these days. Only HT keeps talking. Who is running the ship?

Xi is not seen for a couple of weeks. Not sure if HT fired Xi.

Thanks guys for accurately predicting the 2000 of the past 2 layoffs.

There will be layoffs, but it's very limited. We have a lot of openings in various vcf teams.

Probably customers scrambling and stock piling before the tariffs hit. TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) trade is in full swing. Don't humiliate the bully.

The mood can change in an instant though. Or we may have a few quarters of scrambling of customers before the floor falls off. Everything looks to be setup for the peanut butter to hit the fan next quarter.

With the grand scheme of things to use partners in the coming months, I wonder how soon the Professional Services Organisation would be completely obliterated in the layoff storm ...

The market seems to have gotten a hint of the great quarter. Enjoy the bubble while it lasts. 10 billion in buybacks gave the market some floor. But this is the last pile of the cash remaining. We are getting close.

There will be a VCF layoff. Expectation is that it will happen at the end of this week. Engineering and Product Management will get hit. Rumors are 20-30%.
