Did anyone else see chief of staff hans vestberg in attendance! Great way for him to celebrate after a hard week of layoffs

Layoffs are happening, but so is hiring. Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose? And it's a slap in the face to the people who were let go.

I was laid off roughly a year ago and it felt like the end of the world at the time. Now I'm in a better job with better pay and significantly better culture. Hang in there.

Morale is in the gutter due to cuts and leadership couldn't care less. They don't seem to realize that stressed employees aren't productive employees. Or they don't care.
