The reason Sambar and his subordinates said no surplus is because the move is the surplus. Some positions will be off payroll by Sept if they say no the the move and then another set will be off by next spring if they say no. That's the surplus right there. No need to cut additionally, just wait for the dust to settle from that and revisit.

“ We hear they’re backfilling. If they want to save money, they know many of same are
Being done for less.

Wonder why the approval of backfills?
To keep some VP orgs large enough to sustain VP & above a titles/domains?”

Pure fantasy…I hear Bigfoot is real too.

“ There will be no Q3 surplus in ACE. That’s been repeated by Sambar and is subordinates. As for Q4, also unlikely as the Q2 results were good. Q1 will be determined by combination of Q3 and Q4”

Said the same folks that believe in Santa Claus..

Engineering is going back to the contractors like anyone with 25+ yrs or more remembers, been done more than once before. It’s like the old Bell symbol, they keep circling around and trying to reinvent the wheel and expecting a different result.

Too bad October 27th is in the 4th quarter and not the 3rd. I guess that would mean no layoffs in the 3rd quarter.

Good to know. That news hadn't trickled down to my level yet.

If you want out as I did, talk to your manager and let manager know so your name is in the hat. Worked for me and got severance. In my case I couldn't deal with nonsense anymore. Good luck folks.
