There is hallway chatter about 50% or more getting let go. Can any managers confirm?

The one VP VERY involved in PRIDE was the one pushing for more PMR life. Like SxxxxtBP and 11D. But hey, the road-map here is not controlled not by engineering.
Focus on inclusion and diversity and not on actual innovation and proper road map! How in the heck did you expect this to end?
And they just sent out the first Pride Month email eleven days early. So not only will the survivors have to deal with covering for all their peers who were let go, they will have to put up with another month of woke brainwashing filling their inboxes.
ESG is a cost center that needs to go.
We don't come in the office because we're not going to live in a town where every 1200 sqft house is 800k+. We don't have the 300k salaries in Colorfornia like they do in FRC yet.
Bad policy yields tough consequences.
The truth hurts! You won’t admit it. Wokeness is a disease of the mind!
Inclusion, diversity, and integrity?
You go woke, you go broke!

They take the specifications from the customer and bring them down to the software engineers.
The layoff in November had the WARN notices received a few days after employees were notified: Notice Date (date employees are told they were canned), Received Date (Warn paperwork received by the State), Effective Date (termination date).
So the state probably won't receive the notification until after employees are notified.
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) (29 USC 2100 et. seq.) - Protects workers, their families and communities by requiring most employers with 100 or more employees to provide notification 60 calendar days in advance of plant closings and mass layoffs.
CO WARN act says - (1) Faltering company. This exception, to be narrowly construed, covers situations where a company has sought new capital or business in order to stay open and where giving notice would ruin the opportunity to get the new capital or business, and applies only to plant closings
CO Notice pay is only 30 days so wouldn't cover the 60 days WARN requires.
Is that where most of the EDS folks are? I think that's all going to be divested.
If this is true, WARN act compliance will take place on the day of the layoffs. The people are on the payroll for however long the warn act timeframe is for the state. So if the warn act is 30 days, your employed with seagate for 30 more days only on paper. You have no access to the building, network, etc. That’s how companies go about it now.
Seagate is a "faltering company" and isn't required to give notice
That is not how WARN notices work, prg+1mGKCuC5
Besides Yoga, what gets done at LCO?
If that were the case there would have been WARN notice about it! But then again, Seagate is not necessarily a company that plays by the book!
