I shared with my manager before about what our site knows about the displacement timeline (month) and now Manager keeps asking me for displacement updates (asking if we will we get a working or non-working notice). Shouldn't managers know that!? AWKWARD and pathetic.

Mention #question in your post to continue the discussion!
What areas?
Curious as to what broad areas are sting most layoffs. Like are there areas that aren’t getting hit at all or areas that are basically being gutted? (I don’t work there, but have many friends who do)
Chance of MD Layoffs
SM said there have been contract freezes and lack of work? How is it for applicants?
Next round of layoffs
Does anyone with access to the layoff calendar know when the next round of layoffs is happening?
Questions for those sticking it out at Cengage
First of all, why? Second, how do you get through the day?
Hail Mary?
“What really matters is that companies that don’t continue to experiment – companies that don’t embrace failure – they eventually get into a desperate position, where the only thing they can do is make a ‘Hail Mary’ bet at the very end of their corporate existence. I don’t believe in bet-the-company bets.”

Seems like Infinity is the Hail Mary. They of course decided to end of life their entire current revenue stream in 5 years to hopefully “force” customers to move to Infinity. I guess MBAs will study this decision in the future. I wonder what they will learn?
Is TFB struggling?
Were they impacted by the layoffs? I thought they were doing well according to the quarterly update.
Holiday Meeting
So what's going on at the holiday meeting? Any word?
Any information on what will happen with remote workers?
Especially those who simply can’t commute. I’ve been hearing all kinds of rumors, but nothing that sounds completely credible.
Prorated bonus after voluntarily exit
Do we get any prorated bonus if we leave in the middle of the year?
Hoping for a layoff
I am hoping for another layoff so I can get the he'll out of this place. Who else is hoping that?
Still no idea which roles or how many people will be impacted?
Why is it so hard to let us know in advance, instead of leaving us stressed out for an entire week? Well, more stressed than usual.
What’s the news like now?
ISPs, Demotions still happening today?
Did you get a wriiten notification?
Either via email or snail mail, confirming that you've been laid off? Or was the verbal notification during the 1 on 1 the only one you got so far?
Wave 2 Postings
San Ramon, less or more jobs than you expected?
I know Nike is a footwear first company…
But when are they going to start making better apparel?!
So much space in Lulu/Vuori/Fabletics zone but Nike continues to make awful fitting and feeling clothes.
Earth to design team, how about some fitted clothing, better materials, etc. 25.7 was a nice attempt but not everyone wants baggy.
The market is there and consumer has proven time and time again they will pay for it. Not everyone is an oversized couch potato. Can’t even get a golf polo that isn’t “standard” fit aka baggy fit AND can only be tucked in without looking ridiculous. Every weekend I watch golf and poor Scottie looks like a sale rack at Kohls. How about shorts? Running shorts are great, golf shorts? Baggy and long. Joggers? Only in sweats. Golf joggers are a joke. Who are the models shaping these designs/sizing? Want opportunity, look at apparel.
Oh yeah, global tech bad blah blah layoffs blah blah MD devil blah blah
What does KZ really do? Salary justified?
Like seriously, what does this guy even do that brings revenue for the company?

Absolutely not

Does Oracle pay for your unused vacations
Oracle has unlimited vacation policy on manager discretion. But I noticed managers ensure employee doesn’t take vacations often beyond 2-3 weeks per year. So what happens to those unused vacations on your layoff? Is it wise to take vacations before expected announcements?
News on more layoffs?
Has there been anything new?
Are firings up?
Like many or most of us, my group continues to see layoffs. But I have seen no one be fired even though I think they could easily make a case for some of them.
