Fast forward 1-2 years and I think those that survived multiple rounds of cuts and doing more with less will be the biggest victims. There will be lots of silent victims who give up and leave with no severance, no public support. 3-4 years down the... — read more

I heard that Managers with PG 13-17 are being "targeted" and that Sr. Managers with less than 20 ppl on their team also have a "bullseye" on their backs. Is this about right?

Can anyone tell me how so many layoffs all at once take place, as far as notification? Is a mass e-mail that is sent out? Assuming that at times it will be many hundreds all in the same day, I am just wondering how they go about it.
