As soon as I saw these 2 sessions, I knew the end was near. They are planning for a soft landing. Bring it on! Change is coming.

This layoffs is taking too long. No one knows anything. What are they waiting for?

Certainly there must be more information, rumors, or opinions. Share.

I feel like everyone has moved on from the news of pending layoffs. Suddenly lots of people are taking vacations (probably their last before they are laid off). The anxiety is down. We are all waiting for layoffs. Can’t wait to see the 15 minute hr... — read more

Possible! events in EU/US/APJ. CxO travel across the world. And then Headquarter ‘celebration event’( Google general availability ). Very insensitive to celebrate with folks that you are letting go shortly

From 7 Possible events "We're going to the customer all over the world" to 2 this year. Besides being the WORST name for an event ever, now the rumors are that trouble is brewing regarding attendees and no customers want to agree to speak.

Looks like nobody has inside info on any supposed upcoming layoffs….

This has become the most depressing place. I’ve recently started looking for another job. If it all works out as I hope, being simultaneously laid off would be a win-win.

Our $15M Man does not even work from HQ? Are you kidding me?

Today my major customer announced they were moving to Databricks. There are nine months until the renewal date and that is their target. I am now assuming this will put me on the local Redundancy list. Just sit and watch and wait it out.

Why is it that our company appears to be more focused on DEI initiatives than on what actually drives a business—generating revenue? Don’t get me wrong, diversity, equity, and inclusion are important, but when it starts to feel like the primary focus... — read more

Why don’t they ask people to volunteer to leave with an agreed severance?

And of course it would have to be the last question of the call.... to finish, so to say, on a very positive note... smells HR all over it...

That was the lamest statement I've heard in 10 years of working in IT.

Half of these guys on stage are seriously making arrangements to trigger their golden parachutes but we are told to keep our heads down and work. Such nonsense!

He seems so disoriented or disorientated since we are a global company ;). Is he justifying his job and position or coaching us. What a joke.
