Had a “business update” meeting. Gave essentially no information, saying layoff coming but not saying who or when. Just to expect trainings with offshore. This was weird as it involved a few different teams and they suggested that some teams will have little to no impact. Seems off that we are getting an earlier notification instead of just the one call with a definitive timeline. Why would they even tell us? I’ve heard before of departments training replacements but being told it was for additional workforce. Are they sensing that that wouldnt fly today?

Which location?
Joy, I smile when I see signs of hope. I want a RIF, I am being useless yet they are cutting people that come in, care and work. I'm here on Layoff this morning shtpostng instead of working at my 388 desk now but they keep me. 1pm early dismissal in your biz today? slack on folks, the end is near. Happy 4th/250th America!
@bq That makes alot of sense actually.
@b4 not very transparent when no clear timeline or groups impacted are disclosed.
If they tell you beforehand there is a chance some will leave on their own and avoid having to pay severance.
People beg for transparency, then when they get it, they complain.
@OP what is your department?
