Getting close to the end of the third quarter. How far into October do they start RIF’s???

RIF's are usually done by the middle of October at the absolute latest. That's so they can tag the severance to the end of the calendar year's numbers. Although it is not unheard of to have October/November RIF's it is very unusual and they are most often done by the end of September. And there have been a few instances of sizable RIF's right after the start of the year.
But let's be honest...how many more areas that aren't really middle management a-s kissers with little to zero direct reports are there left to noticeably RIF from anymore. They have cut most areas clean to the bone over the last 5 years. Also most RIFs unless they are posted here you will never know about unless you or a peer you know are impacted. Allstate has eliminated transparency about that anymore along with the transparency they have cut regarding about everything else.
You work in a closet. Even your immediate leaders lie and deceive you.
