I wish all the layoffs would happen tomorrow, just so we could move on, one way or another.

Keep applying for your next job, there are several hardware and software companies hiring EDA and IP engineers. Use your EAP or any other company resources that may help you
@OP i was going through this a while ago, preparing or at least beginning the preparation calmed me a bit (estimating current expenses, keeping emergency fund ready and preparing for interviews a bit everyday).
After layoffs, things could be worse than im preparing for, we are not in this world to stress every day.
@b5 many are looking outside, its just the outside job market is bit tough
Management and the board are flesh eating bacteria, and you are the flesh-any questions?
Now stop complaining and get back to squeezing blood from the turnip for Paul Singer and Ghazi-that $20 million a year salary needs paying.
@OP Tomorrow, or next week? who cares. Management will never say it's the last round. Why ki-l the golden goose when they can keep waving the axe to make you run faster?
@b5 Management is dragging out the layoff process on purpose, keeping employees under constant pressure to squeeze out more work. And with so many people still on H‑1B visas, they know exactly how much fear they’re exploiting. The extended timeline isn’t just inevitable, it's on purpose.
@b5 it's probably time??? Now? After all of this? You must either be re--rded, or from MBU (same thing).
This is so draining and I just hope this will be over soon, but I heard that another round is definitely coming. I don’t have a timeline, but maybe in 1~2 months.
I feel awful saying this but I heard that the activist investor (Elliot) is doing some restructuring, and that a lot of things are going to change.
I do not have any details, but I heard that things are not looking good. It’s probably time to start looking for another job.
