The product and learning technology teams impacted yesterday were formerly Product and Strategy, not Curriculum Development. My understanding is that they underwent a reorg during the layoffs

The bizjournals article makes no new mentions of layoffs FYI

My understanding is Product and Learning Technology teams were impacted, which aligns with the company's new platform strategy with the goal of reducing redundancies across EdX/2U roles. 😞

I checked and didn’t find any 15 min meetings on calendars of VPs/SVPs. So I think these posts might be BS?

There’s one way to find out which team if this is legit - go to the org chart find all VPs / SVPs and see if they had back to back meetings this morning.
