I heard Billing, Collections and CS was hit this morning. Anyone know of any other depts that got hit? Everyone in the US is being hit.

Layoffs have taken place already this morning. I got a text message from someone that they and another person in the SR office were let go.

When do the layoff meeting requests start coming in? I'm hoping today is the day!

I heard the Command Center and Help Desk departments were recently outsourced before the New Year? And now from seeing this site, it seems that a lot of departments are being slashed? Wow. How is this affecting the day to day operations with the app support and daily prod processing that was always deemed critical?

Mate, the skunk work just blew up in our face but exposed why we will have prod dev and prod dev test layoffs going into next FY. G2 Happy shoes tapped to reduce 15% across his org

Odd that it don’t come up in these conversations about what offices are closing because it seems like the first one I’d get rid of
