It seems like the RIF on Thurs was a lot less than expected. Most of the deadwood in marketing, etc is still intact. Mostly just older guys and some management were let go. Anyone have a different take or more insight into different groups affected?
I personally know two people who were laid off from Symantec on Thurs. They’re both very early in career
Word is out! Out of 10k of employees in enterprise, they’re cutting about 5k from now til end of ‘19.
Still odd—in the benefits meetings on Tues and Wed everyone was easily over 50. Seems like they took the olds first.
Is it happening in Bay Area locations too?
Yes. I was layed off from the Enterprise cloud team in MV.
