Anyone else get an email with that subject line? Came in after business hours from ‘HR Services’. Meeting request for tomorrow morning. My attendance is required. Pretty sure I’m about to get paroled!

Avaya deploys the 4 Year Vision this week yet can't retain the skeleton crew needed to get through the next 6 mos?

Last time thre were multiple 40-person calls throughout the day.
Any additional calls scheduled?
Was it similar to the last one where multiple people that were being laid off on the same call? How many people were on the call?
I just finished the call and it is indeed a mass lay off meeting
If it is like the one last September it will be the sorry your position has been eliminated and your last day is today. And then Hr will be incredibly slow about getting out more info to you (unless they git any better at it). It is competitive out here but there is life out here.
REMINDER
NLRB does not allow employers to prohibit any employee from speaking 🗣️ even if they are asked to sign a severance or separation agreement. Avaya can't legally scare you from sharing your experience or posting on this site. If they try to, you have further legal recourse and this is considered intimidation and bullying

But we are hiring and making it a destination place to work SMH
Services. US.
What "team"?
Also, how many employees do we even have now?
I’ve seen chatter of almost half my team got the email but not me.
You got 30 minutes after the meeting and then your locked out of the system, your getting the push American style.. Good luck
Plz share which groups/regions you are with if you got an email.
Also, it is possible that everyone got one that is a version of an all hands? Or are there some who didn't get one?
I got an email as well :(
Heard about someone in a sales region also getting same request, so it goes beyond APS
Several APS PMs and PgMs got the email...
I got mine this evening too. Do ya'll really think we are about to get laid off?
I received the same....Business Update :). Honestly, I'm really ok with this. Brighter future ahead and I'll find a real DPTW.
