I've heard from my cousin who's an L7 that they're choosing people based on a very specific algorithm. They pop peoples names on a dart board and throw 3 darts, if 2 darts hit the same person they let 3 people go who have the same last name as that person. Its as feasible as some of the rubbish that's posted on here!

“EXPECTING POSSIBLY AROUND 30%”

OP sounds real confident in that percentage 🙄. Why even post this if it’s “possibly”. Sounds like speculation. At this point, two days before the probable RIF, if there is a RIF, there’s no “expecting” or “possibly”. There either is or isn’t.

If anything it would be 30% of just the corporate workforce, so half that number.

What’re you basing this off of? Whats your position in the company? Where are you getting this 30% figure?

I’m sure there will be a layoff on Friday but blindly speculating on the size isn’t helpful unless you show some credibility. For the record I’m an L2, I know nothing and I’m nervous.
