So funny the TP post was deleted! Just a perfect example of what the post said! Favoritism is real, people! And if you don't think so, you be stoopids!

No one is siding with anybody. No one wanted this layoff, no one wanted to get let go, NO ONE wanted to see their peers step out. We should be helping each other, not trashing on one another.

Your bosses are not your friends. But you all keep on drinking the Magenta kool-aid and keep up company loyalty and see where it will lead you. Keep on defending your leads/bosses with that blind loyalty on an anonymous site, maybe you'll get rewarded if they see all your downvotes!

We're all just sitting ducks waiting for yet another "re-org" and another round of layoffs. TMO will shower you with all the cheap plastic junk fooling you into a false sense of security and thinking "this company cares about me!" They don't. C-Suite and leadership cares about the bottom line and the zeros on yet another bonus they'll give themselves. And if you or your friends are in the way of that, the boot you will get with little or no warning. The fake positivity here is TOXIC. Get out while you can.

TSW is done with their cuts. All ICs. Agreeing with it being absolutely random.

Makes me wonder what the layoff criteria is for who's selected and who is staying. Everyone keeps saying it's a re-org and eliminating duplicative positions but most of the people gone did an enormous amount of work--as we all do. It's hard to watch and understand. This is basically a skeleton crew now.

re: "Are they just laying off people by the luck of the draw or what? Are there more legacy people getting let go or is it performance based? Does anyone have info?"

I'm an IC who was retained; the TSW layoffs feel totally random. Some are remote, some are in Bellevue. Half senior-level, half mid-level.

T-Studios team that have been notified today — are you managers or IC? Wondering if the former formula of managers on Wednesday/ ICs on Thursday is staying true.

T-Studios, for those asking, is mostly responsible for internal and external graphic/print creative, film/commercial spots, and the digital/web creative (websites, homepages, etc).

Haven't you heard? They're replacing the actors with A.I.!! (Well they did for one of those recent training videos, so that can't be too far off)

“They're the ones who film the cringe integrity training videos”

Wrong. Those were made by a different department that already got laid off.

They're the ones who film the cringe integrity training videos. Hope they all get the axe.
