Does anybody know if John Repko announced in his town hall meeting (By the way, it only lasted less than 5 minutes) if there are more layoffs for IT across the board?

Is he talking about FTE or FTE and consultants/contractors combined? If FTE, the company is pretty lean as is with the ratio of contractors so skewed. There seems to be 1 FTE for 3 or 4 contractor in IT. And it's not reducing cost when you need 4 contractors doing the work of 1 very qualified FTE person. I've seen it so many times, it's not even funny. But hey, what do I know. Been there, experienced that!
All of IT including Network and infrastructure too or are they talking some very select portion of IT. Does anyone know?
Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, it appears that the mission for JR is to outsource IT/Compliance, too bad, and best of luck to everyone. Let's keep the comments open.
Thought it was a joke about 5 minutes meeting.
Yes the meeting lasted less than five minutes. All i got from it was IT has too many people and expenses need to be cut. So yes, more RIFs to come.
Do you mean now or ever?
Since we still have "too many people" and are "too expensive" I expect more.
