Earnings were pretty good, will the summer cuts be cancelled?

Looking at the recent layoff announcements, i’ve a very bad feelimg that synopsys will announce more layoffs during this quarter results news , :(

I saw tons of writing on the wall the past two weeks that made me think I'm going, but the post from someone saying they made the whole thing up has me second guessing myself now.
If you're impacted, please let us know. And if you're trolling, this is people's livelihood. Please, not today...

It’s likely a small percentage being impacted. There’ll be a lot of rumors and hearsay on here.
Hopefully it’s just been a lot of bad rumors.
Hearing that there is another round of layoffs happening today?
Anyone know anything?
Are you all hearing anything about layoffs on the trading floor? I hope all the girls with the nice feet don’t get cut.
Anyone know if there are layoffs coming ?
I think most people know by now tomorrow is the day, with a few people in denial. This was a quota game, leaders were told to eliminate x number of people for many teams as the only consideration.
This isn’t the end either. There will be more rounds this year. If as a business, they decide we need to do cuts, fine. But they continue to cut talent and drag out morale instead of doing it all at once. We are all being told to take on more for no extra pay and use AI which constantly makes mistakes. The only reward is MAYBE keeping your job. Talk about transparency and doing the right thing… yet let’s keep making employees live in fear.
Asking for a friend
A healthy company hires when it needs to and keeps people when they're doing good work. A failing company cuts over and over, calls it restructuring, and pretends things are fine. We've been through how many rounds in the last few years? Certainly too many. That's not a sign of a strong organization.

Email to employees bottom Lores announced his intention to make cuts so the question is now that he has announced it when will it occur can't have this sitting on employees for months.
So it starts, now well publicized on the news Sycamore is closing stores under the guise of security or safety, and while that's a concern, their goals are to get out of leases to reduce their debt obligations (somewhat good), and pad their pockets by selling off any real estate that is owned. However, it is NOT with improving the business in mind. It is purely a way to pay themselves. Look at their history on their other large holdings, Staples they are continuing to reduce stores under the premise they are low performing stores, but in many cases it's just to cook the books. Essendant, they sold off the majority of their real estate for millions as a cost reduction for low performing, closed the majority of their business, but never invested back into the company. Talbots, Hot Topic, Belk, Pure Fishing they are closing stores/warehouses/offices and leaving just a shell of businesses they will never invest back into to improve. Sycamore is evil, and just plays with people's lives to line their own pockets over and over again.
What the he-l is wrong with these people? Record stock price and then you go in and reduce our commission because of "inflation"?
Fu-k off

Please share the country and the date you were layoff
No more big announcements. Just a few people gone every other week. It's somehow worse than the big rounds.
I'm struggling here. Every week there's a new rumor about cuts, and just when I think I've got my role figured out, my manager changes what I'm supposed to be doing. I can't plan, I can't relax, and I can't tell if I'm doing well or about to get cut. How are the rest of you surviving this?
This time it’s revenue operations and customer support. We all know this is tied to AI, and it’s ridiculous how little anyone in charge actually seems to care about customers. AI has already proven to be pretty awful when it comes to customer support across the board. You can’t scroll through Twitter or any other platform without seeing people asking how to reach a real person at one company or another. Welcome to your future, Shopify customers.
One person says 500 let go last week
another says 2500
One says may 28th - 30% being let go
last month it was April 30th - 30% being let go
Can anyone please be truthful?
This site is worse than facebook for crying out loud...
Please post facts and stop trolling - yeah, I know REAL big ask on here!
Is there any info someone can share about what to expect next week and what location to be affected?
