@gz What are those numbers if I may ask?
People! The June 15th date has to do with the cutoff of those already let go.
Getting tired of hearing the media regurgitate this 30k as a fact when it is a number that some analysts made up and has nothing to do with reality. Stupid articles that say 30k to be RIFed are a sign of bad journalism. I trust the Slack count numbers posted here a million times more than I trust anything or anyone that references a blind 30k number. That number was fabricated out of thin air and sloppy reporting has barfed it up over and over and over.
When is kickoff?
They have finished using you! Go quietly
@an I think they went to Aug 2025
where they took this 30k number from?
actual Slack totals based stats:
1) Slack total for the latest series of mass layoffs which started on Mar24, 2026:
reductions: 16400, additions: 2652
2) Only if you want to count since August 2025 (start of previous mass layoff series), you can cross 30k:
reductions: 34577, additions: 11139
@OP yup. Will be doing before kickoff in Vegas.
