Sounds like all departments in both companies have been told the last two levels of Orgs will be settled in late May through June. This means mass layoffs at this time. Curious if anyone is being told different, later in the year etc.

It sounds multiple offices will be closed. Will they cut ppl in these office in the next step?

Was told today by Market Manager (my old store manager ) Flooring Specialist going away .

What is the goal ? 8K? 5k? Endless ?

There are some high profile visitors to the Edinburgh office this week. Is it to announce the location is closing? What could be the reason to visit a site with less than 50 people in it

Hearing people who work on the mainframe are being informed that they are no longer needed.
Any truth to this rumor?

Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone but this seems to be a deeper one.

Given all the cuts, do we really need two chief network officers (wireless and wireline)?

Seems like they created a job for someone who was complaining. Just saying.

What are your thoughts ?

1. How was the list prepared ?
2. Why another round when previous one is still going ?
3. What percentage you are losing from your team ?

I know someone who lost their job in P.A. today who said a dozen of their colleagues did too, including U.S. based managers.

Yes entire team. We all got invited to a single business update meeting and then the director told us, this team is redundant.

I heard sales people will be targeted as per previous treads but will managers from different departments will be too?
