Everybody has been mentioning the inevitable layoffs for a while now, but there was no time attached to them. Now I've heard somebody mention it will happen sometime in November, and I was wondering if anybody else heard anything about it, or should I just chalk it up to store speculation?

That's what happened to me - laid off moments before my vesting occurred. But mr Pepsi got his $20m. Makes ya feel good.

Well I sure hope I am one to be layed off, so bring it on already.... many of us are willing and ready after all the crap I have seen over the years. I know there is a district meeting next week, so I hope this is the one!!!
Attended my region meeting today. Looks like a new record is going to be set on turnover soon.
Meetings coming up this week and next week in my district. Gonna be interesting to see what they tell us.

I heard sometime in 2018...
