Any layoffs in the US? Any layoffs, period? Can we consider this round completed?

Confirmed layoffs in London start from 1st of April. No one says anything about it like nothing is happening. No reassurance from managers either...
Correct. UK and Ireland are slated for April 1st is exactly what I heard from my SVP who was also cut in Canada. Upper and lower EMEA to follow with final layoffs and VERP in MEE by the end of Q2. Our COO who was also laid off doesn’t believe this total reduction of 4,400 but much, much higher. Anyone who survives that is over 50 should expect the same slashings in 2 years.
We got a memo from dap UK HR stating heads will roll in April 1st and 2nd
Right APJ
In DBS CoE NA my team was assured during the week of 4th March that the impact was already done and that was it for "this round". (I found this out from another member of my team who was not impacted like I was). So I think the axe went down swiftly on the first round of US layoffs.
I don't know when the next round will actually be, but given that the VERP offers were due by 18th March and that the work council prevented involuntary layoffs in Germany and that those offer reject/accept dates are in Q2 (e.g. they will take place in April or May), then further layoffs will have to be redistributed to other parts of EMEA, APJ, and NA in May or June.
