Facts:
-
1000-1500 full-time employees gone.
-
Some yesterday, a large portion Nov 30, and Dec 30;
-
Expect customer facing support to get much worse.
Executive management mandating contractors will not be renewed unless deemed critically necessary (another ~1000 gone in the next 90 days).
-
No org was spared; security, IT, supply chain, everything.
-
Expect entire product lines and functions to be terminated in the next 90 days with little to no warning.
-
Massive cuts to tool-sets as well.
-
Security should have fun while being told to cut nearly 30% of their staff, critical tools, and operations center staff in addition to "we will not be renewing support on many maintenance contracts".
This is only the beginning, I'm afraid of what this place will look like in 6 months. I like many others who were spared have already started looking to get out before the ship sinks...
