It's sad that I'm asking not because I'm worried it's happening, but because I'm hoping it really is nearly three weeks away so I can at least stop stressing for a short while.
So any chance somebody can confirm or deny those rumors? Or at least give us something more concrete than simply "sometime in February?"
I know of 1 person let go today in Pittsburgh, I figured there have to be more. :(
Layoffs happening in Feb and March , even UK will not be spared , Charlie hates the staff in UK , Manchester and London are next with layoffs.. so is Pittsburgh, Boston , MA . Charlie is ready to lock and load :(
Layoffs are coming in February. Charlie is just taking a bathroom break before round 2
Whomever says February is too soon is delusional. There is a plan in place for 2019 and you better get your resume ready.
Whenever a manager tells you you’re safe, it’s code for start looking for a job.
Management and HR despise you asking about layoffs. They are slaves just like you and they are told what to do.
If you think you’re getting laid off, you probably are. If you’re told “you’re safe”, start interviewing.
It’s musical chairs, they cut you now and rehire someone younger and cheaper.
Layoffs will occur in February
Rumor in our office is Feb 13th. All staff already planned that day.
Makes sense then. The areas that have not been affected in January are having their turn in February. Incontrovertible. No issues here. I was referring to the same areas getting hit again.
some areas haven’t been affected much. February is already locked and loaded. Fact.
Doubt it. They have to first deal with the aftermath of the layoffs that just happen and measure impact. Then load and pull the trigger again. The bigger the next layoff wave the more time will pass before it comes again. February seems too fast. Don't see why wait to then when it could have been done in January. So Feb makes no sense.
Was told I was safe and of year exceeds expectations let go on January 14th. Managers blindsided good luck to the survivors.
