@1x9 its coming, stocks dropped 🫳
Watch this space
We’ll see, I’m not in a hurry.
No Layoffs
@tb yes its reduced by 1/3
@1wy It's not easy to distinguish the "Stack ranked layoff/encouragement to leave" intended to raise the average skill level from "RIF under a different name"
Will see if those positions get a replacement headcount or not.
May vary by org
@1st are these actually a real way to get rid of people.
I've heard rumors of it but not known anyone personally effected.
There will be the standard Needs Improvement packages being sent.
2025 review time is nigh, and some folks will be choosing pip or severance
Hopefully, if the stock price keeps going down, there won’t be any more layoffs. Let’s hope!
Once again, all speculation and nonsense about layoffs…
Maybe something will happen over the next few months or even years but for now I’m happy to keep working away.
Whatever happens will happen.
@h0 : Nothing this week , Thursday happened , what's the source ?
The 29th is here and no layoffs—great news! Thanks, Chris!
@1cj for now. working on my exit strategy.
everyone still working?
@15g as usual, nothing happens
So is this the week we hear something about redundancies…Dun Dun Dunnnn😂😂😂
@sz it sure is mate! 🤣 roll on redundo 🤑
@tb probably depends on the country of employment but I wouldn't be surprised if it's less now.
Has the severance payment been reduced? Can anyone who was laid off recently confirm?
@se morale is at an all time low
What a loada balicki
It's the same rumors every few months here. Be good to see if anything actually happens. I think they are still laying people off but it's just done quietly now with no huge announcements.
EOYR and next week will reveal all 😂
Hoping for a nice bonus 😜
next week will be crucial to confirm the whispers — time to buckle up, everyone... bumpy ride ahead. Thank you, Chris!!
@mf correct
From team leaders reports
Group leaders
Work force management
Everything is always monitored
This person is lying
History suggests there will be layoffs in Jan/Feb and Summer. The timing, countries, and orgs are unknown and unlikely to leak until days before if at all.
This article also backs up the possibility of 2025-style layoffs through to 2027.

@j1 what do you mean by playing the game and been monitored. Surely everything has always been monitored.
Everything is being monitored security! people who are let’s say playing the game are going to get dismissed for gross misconduct very soon with zero warning
Full of sh!t as usual! If you actually wear a high-level and knew something you wouldn’t be speculating with your post you’d be given concrete data backed up by something people can look into you’re talking brown
I have only ever seen one thing on this page come true and it was three years ago and I can take a good guess who put it up. It was nearly obvious everything else since then is fake.
Any evidence of the so called "project January"?
I’m an employee. Confirmed they are happening next week. Historically we have never laid off on a Monday or Friday so either T,Wed or Th.
Hahaha!!!!
Once again the stirring of the pot continues…
@OP : Jan 29 is Thursday ;)
Always helps your credibility when you use a nonexistent day/date.
