Warn filing with the state
Sales ops, inside sales, DMT... Lots of functions [were] in Austin.
Does that include transition employees? Or is that immediate layoffs? I am in Austin and in one of those groups. Most of us received transition offers for 9-12 months.
It's the immediate layoff employees, there will be another WARN act filing for transition employees when they get their severance at end of contract
I got a warn letter already with a 12 month transition. I think this could is complete but there will certainly be more cuts coming.
Globally it was a much larger layoff.
I’m hoping they maintained diversity with the remaining team and didn’t just punish marginalized folks
I hope this is not the focus. Diversity should occur naturally. Managers should make the decision based on who performs the job the best. I work with a large team with very capable people but there is still a very clear difference in technical skill, motivation, expertise, capability between every one.
It never occurs naturally, there needs to be protections!
