It seems QC is in search of voluntaries to leave the company before enforcing it. Voluntaries are being offered a slightly better severance package than regular layoff. Window to rise up your hand is this week only. After that, it seems something massive is coming. Have you heard about it?

True for certain groups
Why can't the company layoff some HR people who don't do actual work? Including ones that only help management lie, ignore all legitimate requests from employees.
Volunteer layoff is only in CE. They haven't added value for many years.

Hugging Face may be a leader in loss prevention but they were unable to prevent all the losses corporate engineering accumulated over the last 5 years.
It’s true. For corporate engineering only.
I heard VP's running teams doing "me too" copycat research that doesn't bring any revenue to Q have volunteered to leave and shut down their teams, so they can go back to playing tennis at Santa Fe Tennis Club. They felt a bit of guilt collecting paychecks for doing nothing of value. Oh wait, I was dreaming....
I didn't hear anything about this, but if it's only open to certain groups maybe I'm not in that group.
90% of MST could be let go and maintain the same productivity.
If this is true, it must be limited to certain groups. I have not received any such email.
Ask ESG, corp engg, they got the emails and the deadline to put ur name in is 31st Jan.
Fake news.
I sure hope so! Just got offered another job… would be great to get a package on the way out!
Where do I learn about this?
Not fake. This indeed started today.
Completely fake. The reason this doesn’t happen is because the bottom 25% know it and would never volunteer to leave.
The top 10-20% of productive workers would happily take a huge payout, knowing they can easily get a job elsewhere, whereby companies are left with the worst performers (see Twitter).
If anything, they will cut the bottom 5% in terms of ratings and performance and then continue upward.
Sounds fake
