I think people just like to work themselves into a tizzy. When we have some kind of an announcement, start worrying. Until then, relax and enjoy life.

The precedent has been set.
Why? Uhhh where u been man?
Don't believe anything you read here - it's complete BS
It's just a bunch of disgruntled trolls who got laid off a long time ago and have no idea what's going on in the company now. They are posting nonsense and fiction.
I work with multiple teams in the company, and morale is pretty high. Everyone is hard working and dedicated to their jobs. I check Slack at midnight before bed, and so many people still have a green dot next to their name. I get late night emails from Git from people submitting code late. People are handling on call duties on the weekend. Some are even doing it while on vacation, while on maternity and paternity leave, and I've even seen it from a few people who were supposed to be retired.
I don't know anyone who is worried about layoffs. No one is leaving, and, in fact, the company has started hiring again. Of course that doesn't mean there won't be some low performers or people in business units that are no longer a priority let go here and there. But at many recent all hands, not just with Guru and Mark, but with other leaders too, there is a strong sense of optimism and a feeling that the company is moving in the right direction. It's not fake, it is a sentiment shared amongst many people I've talked with.
Look at the company's press releases. New deals and contracts are being announced on a regular basis. There are several other reasons, that cannot be named, to be positive about the future of this company. All I can say is that I have maxxed out my ESPP and cannot believe my good fortune to be acquiring shares at ridiculously low prices.
Because there will be layoffs soon
Viasat gets really cr-ppy reviews….

Smart. Give few notices here and there to avoid triggering a WARN notice?
No, not in my dept, must only be 10 total people getting cut.
I hate to spoil the emotion mood here with a fact but >10 people in Viasat Global Ops are noticed that they lose their jobs this week.
This is in addition to the 100s of staff who are leaving at end November thru the VRP.
Let’s get back to the point of this site.
Are any other departments seeing their teams being cut this week?
Idk but the suspense is ki-ling me...
Same trolls spams the upvote or downvotes alll the post they disagree with.
Just a upset former employee (or Elon musk boy) who wants us to suffer with them
It’s just the same troll posting about 100% certain layoffs at the end of every month and they are wrong 90% of the time.
Def layoffs. Topline not hitting the forecasts, resulting in similar impacts to EBITDA. To think otherwise is naive.
This website has had a lot of repetitive troll posts about layoffs, which make the last couple ones seem like they're not credible. But looking at everything going on lately, this time it might really happen imo.
Not worrying about it until it happens is great if you can afford it, but that's a luxury other people can't have for a number of reasons.
It’s a free country. Everyone is free to leave.
