So for those of you who aren’t getting information from your managers, directors, etc., the workplace relocation notifications are going to take place beginning first or second week of January. If you’re not in one of the 40 key network locations, the four hubs or one of the 10 to 12 other approved locations you will be getting notification to move to a new office location.
If you’re within 50 miles of your new location, you’ll be expected to start reporting within 60 days. If you’re over 50 miles you will have 60 days to say whether or not you will accept the new location assignment if you say yes you will have until late spring early summer 2027 to make the move if you say no in all likelihood, you’re off the payroll by June 2026. If you say yes, and then the year passes and it’s time for you to go, and you say no, you’ll be terminated without severance.
Everyone, regardless of your role or your organization is affected. Whether you’re a national employee, original employee or a market based employee all these rules apply and many of us are already being told unofficially where we’re headed.
This is all part of a two prong effort to reduce headcount and also reduce real estate footprint. So the company will reduce real estate footprint and obviously save money by selling off those buildings and/or ending leases. Secondly, they’ll save money with a reduced headcount because there’s going to be people who say no right out the gate and others who will leave the company in the term or when the time comes further reducing headcount considering how many people this affects it’s gonna be a pretty steep cut in headcount when it all shakes out.
