Anyone know when the expected employment end date is for people who take the voluntary severance? The communication gives a July 31st assumption but says the real date will be given in May.

Curious if anyone’s been getting logged out daily. Thinking it has something to do with tracking for RTO

Almost every team I have interacted with has mentioned they have an exception to RTO. Are there any teams who have been given the deadline to accept RTO? What does that entail, timing, severance, etc?

Any information on negotiating the opt in program? If you don’t need cobra, can it be converted to time?

Given today's email, does this mean there's no voluntary severance package coming soon for Phase 2 people? I had heard rumors about mid-April, but I guess that's no longer relevant after today.

It’s not company wide so phase 1 people don’t get it. I’m curious 👀

Anything confirmed? Rumors are all over the place.

That’s the rumor swirling. Allegedly Wednesday. Does anyone know who exactly will be affected? I remember an article from February saying that 15% of the staff will be cut in the spring so I’m guessing that’s now.

Sitting here drinking coffee, and already dreading tomorrow. Another week of pointless frustration and wondering if this is the week they cut me. I know I need to leave. Just don't know how.

How will this affect the stock price?? https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01299522.pdf

They’re saying that they’ll combine the two services. Which one do you think gets merged with other one? I have noticed that P+ Mobile app is better, but HBO Max’s app is better on OTT/TV devices.
