Be ready...more layoffs coming to AIP next week!!!
People/teams in Growth (Marketing and Creative) are going to be hit hard. Word is that Tech and Finance could be included too! Invites from managers have already begun to be sent out for the week of 4/1.
Marketing team has already received these invites under the guise of "more facetime with the Growth leader." Nah fam, this is bad news bears. The Growth leader has been doing this since she forced her way into her position and demanded her seat at the table. She has "reorganized/realigned" the org 3 times since being put into power, boasting about how much shes saved while affecting people's lives. Watch out!
Meanwhile, Tech is long overdue for cuts, no one addressed how overstaffed the team is since Optimus "finished." The new CIO has had time to make her reviews & assess the team..now she'll make her cuts.
You'll start to see more people we work with mysteriously disappearing. They did 2 big layoffs last year which affected a lot of great people and they've already forced several people out the door this year.
If you get a random meeting invite on your calendar from your manager or Sr. Manager for the week of 4/1, be prepared!
Oh, and please remember that HR is not your friend. No one on that team is. They are there to protect the company and to make sure you don't cause a scene. Don't say sh*t to them.
