US people laid off in past years' Q4, did you get paid your AIP bonus as part of the severance agreement?

Didn’t see this mentioned here yet, but 3 offices closing and reducing footprint at 3XSQ, while in-line with the direction from a few years ago of decreasing real estate footprint, is a bit newsworthy. As far as I can tell, no layoffs... yet. But... —  read more
