That's how it happens. Typically put into your calendar on a Sunday or Monday evening. And yes the rumor is real. This round is ~12k, notifications will be complete by the end of this month in the US, other geos take longer due to local laws. Severance is 4 weeks for the 1st year, plus 1 week for each additional year, capped at 26 weeks. Plus 30 days of paid Cobra benefits.

@c7 A lot of us come here trying to find evidence that rumours from legit sources might be true, rather than to read entirely made up stories disguised as facts.
Last year the zoom invite was titled "Business Update".
@gt not going to happen. Larry loves H1Bs.
@dh the stock would pop off in earnings and would recommend you to sell your shares.
Start backing up anything you care about and may need from your 'work' computer, though you shouldnt really have any personal sh-t on that. But back up emails, contacts, anything you dont want to lose if you are locked out soon...
If you are on H1B visa, your job is safe
Watch for Labor Day weekend email
@a5 21k is the number for last fiscal; you can check the 10Ks and verify for yourself.
@c6 It is possible to give advice without resorting to ad hominem attacks, which often mean that the poster is a troll.
@a6 The whole industry spins scams while appearing smart. Everyone is going nuts. So many smart people's brains were wasted in building things that don't matter in life.
@c7 I think that is Business Insider.. not a legit reporter it’s all AI driven
@b4 this whole site is guesswork and speculation... the weird people are the ones like you that come here expecting verifiable facts.
@a6 If that is how you feel I hope you are working on your job search already. If you aren't already looking and you are this dissatisfied than there is something wrong with you...
I have no doubt there will be more cuts coming but also no doubt that this post is entirely guesswork based on nothing. Some weird people out there.
no it doesn't it's not 2025.
it will be an email at 6am with auto-disconnect.
I hope I’m on the list. I can’t stand another day at this company.
21K is the total for FY27
Lately there have not been 1:1 layoff meetings in many countries. Just an early morning email.
I heard the digits are reversed, ~21k
Yeah they just send an email now, quit lying. It’s probably soon but you don’t know anything
