To GSR in PD...my guess is that is the meeting. 1. You stay. 2. You stay, but go over there instead. 3. You go. Its really that simple,.

GSR in PD here. Apart from being told to be in the office next week, everyone in our group got a 1:1 meeting invite with their LL5 starting early next week. No idea what it's about but the GSRs have been asked to meet privately with our LL5 for about 20 minutes each starting next Tuesday.

Wow they let FMCC IT folks go today? Was it at the end of the day?

You know what, I work in that area and did notice a couple cleaned off desks...

I was agency and worked in FMCC. I got 'the' call while driving home yesterday. (I use hands-free.) The account manager told me that Wednesday was my last day. (I'd rather not say my team or agency lest I be identified.) It's already begun. Good luck everyone! :(

OP here. GSR in PD, not going to specify where. The email was from my management basically saying "be in the office next week". Hmmm, I wonder why...

Strange - I wonder if these two (the OP and the Credit L6) ate on the business side of the house. I work in Ford Marketing Sales FCSD IT, and no email like that yet....in fact one of my buddies who is L6 is OOO on vacation thru Memorial Day weekend.

VOME has an all hands meeting Wednesday, most likely the discussion of the new redesign after the fitness actions on Tuesday.
