2016, they sent out email week before, so assuming they will do the same, next week we will receive email that it will happen the following Wednesday and Thursday.
Yup, pretty much what @SGyPO0U-1psq said. The earliest we will know is the week after next. If anything is happening this coming week, it'll be the information email.
Pack your personals now and take sh-- home. Delete all personal subject email (family and friend references). Clean out your company vehicle. Be ready to exit with dignity.
So, the smiley HR girl, half your age, will walk in with the operations lead for your specialty or area. You turn in badge,keys, everything and you are Out The Door.
DO NOT SIGN THE PACKAGE, until talking to an attorney. Especially if you are over 45. Oh, and don't walk around on the goodbye tour. Don't call or email. They may pretend they care, but in a month you will be ignored on all social media.
Since this isn’t warn it may not be anything like 2016. They laid off about 150 IT people in 2015 and the people being laid off were given no warning that a layoff was even coming. Since this will be mostly IT & Accounting from what most people are saying, it is unlikely they will get the consideration given in the 2016 layoff.
I have no doubt that there are a few high-risk employees. Those folks will be the first to go.
