As layoffs are not happening now but will happen soon, Does any one in TI know when? Fire in the stomach till June?

Another designer partnership, another epic fail launch due to the site being unavailable. Here I thought that spending $1B on 'omnichannel' would work wonders. I guess the architecture can't run when people running it are laid off

Has anyone else found it suspicious that we were promised classes and discounts yet all classes are fun with no addition of new classes. Are they hoping they will wait long enough to add new classes and they we will find new jobs and they will save... — read more
