The layoff one on ones will typically happen before noon on the layoff date.

Assuming Monday September 16 is the date, meeting invites would most likely go after work hours on Friday to early Monday morning.

Naa it’s just a reschedule of your regular 1-1. It’s too early for LR meetings to be scheduled. If you are that worried, just ask your manager, don’t be a pu--y

I read somewhere on here (so take it with a grain of salt) that managers aren’t allowed to send out invites until a certain date.

Maybe they’re allowed to send them early this time? None of us are stupid - we know what it means. An early heads up would be nice.

Doesn’t make sense to send invite way ahead , may be it was random

Yes. This is exactly what happened to me in February.

Makes sense to bring forward a 1:1 to reassure an employee after a massacre. I’d think termination invites wouldn’t go out yet.

LR is no joke for us, maybe it is very amusing for high level leaders.
Living cost is very high in US, no wonder there are so many homeless people. Rent, insurance, food ... etc. Only after you got LRed you will realized these stuff will beat you down and make you a "Yes Man" for your next mgr.

Either OP is a troll, or their manager.

Troll…. Managers haven’t yet received their training. Are you a VP?

What’s in subject line? What group and BU? Post a copy here. Take a PTO.

Ask your manager, "What's the purpose of this call?"
