Okay so as it turns out a few people on my team where laid off, I was not. All hands invite tomorrow to review direction of organization after restructure. Will resolve market due to layoffs in my department being over, email from HR confirming I was not laid off.

@guattari Congrats, man! Goodluck :)

@firstuserhere Thx, good luck to you too!

Email from head of stores saying impacted employees will be sent an email shortly, two hours later got an email saying all emails where sent, no email informing me of my termination, no new meetings scheduled today, nor word from anyone in my organization.

@guattari wow

@guattari have you gotten any mail from the manager for a 1 on 1

@firstuserhere no 1 on 1, no new meetings, only heard similar stories throughout ascs

@guattari damn. People ik got 1 on 1 with manager schedule where they're being offered similar deal to Voluntary release program, severance of about 25 weeks, or stay 2 months for internal transfer + normal severance at the end

@firstuserhere 25 weeks is a lot more than the last round was offered, suprised they would increase the vrp payout. is that US based? it seems like a lot of the deals are different in different countries due to employment laws

@guattari That's interesting. No, it's not US based. Basically their entire org is being shut down so they got offered this huge amount (including that deal of 1 week extra pay for every 6 months or whatever it was)

@guattari Yes, those friends did mention something about this (awesomely good!!) severance is something due to the employment laws

@firstuserhere It's basically half a year extra on payroll, without working for the company

@firstuserhere i think in the US its 2 months + 1 week for every 6 month’s minimum of 4 weeks.

vrp is usually 3 months + 1 week for every 6 month’s minimum of 4 weeks.

seems like these layoffs have effected more international teams than the first wave.

layoffs tomorrow, have learned no new information

@guattari what org are you in

@firstuserhere ascs

Suprised this is so high, there are 40k+ in PxT & 100k+ in stores that are L4+. Only 8k+ being laid off. ~5% chance, I’d say higher for me personally given my exact position but not that high. That being said I wouldn’t be surprised if I was laid off.
