Many NERD Alumni Laid Off

I know of about 10 associate and specialist-level devs from the NERD program who were laid off today across multiple orgs. So much for an "inverted pyramid", which we were told time and time again so we wouldn't worry about losing our jobs since we... — read more

Got an all clear

And for me that is the opposite of the news I was hoping to get today. However I am happy we at least got a notification vs nothing.

I'm not sure what I'm hoping for

That's what all this wait has done to me. I'm honestly not sure at this moment if I want to pray not to be laid off or the opposite.

So glad I left a few months ago

I doubt I would have been laid off, but even for the survivors, these times are never good. Schawb's toxic culture is the fault of clueless leadership from the very top down.

I'm ready

Whatever happens tomorrow (more like today) I'm prepared for it. I won't be overjoyed if I'm laid off but I also won't be too heartbroken over it. If there is one good thing that came out of Schwab's disastrous handling of these layoffs, it's that... — read more

Could be layoffs...could be reorg..

60 PL (WAM) here. I fully expect Monday to be my last day, but nothing is scheduled yet. Did your Monday schedule change somehow with any "Catch up" or the like meetings?
