Saw some layoff news at WD over Linkedin. Is that for real? If so, which department! #severance #layoff
Yes looks real and yes they do silent layoffs continuously. Also they do multiple waves, maybe 2 waves in last 3 month. Last wave as we speak
WD like Seagate have been laying off every quarter since 1994
It is real. It's worldwide across both ssd and hdd divisions.
Can confirm. Rumor is 700 WW.
So sorry to hear this 😞
Layoffs are not done yet?
It's pretty much done. But because it's being kept under wraps while most people have 1 week to wrap things up. We will probably start to feel the impact later.
I thought Nov 9 th it was completed
It's already done. But those who got laid off are still working at WD as they are wrapping things off
Next RIF not until after new years?
Dont think theres another one?
Were people on vacation also laid off?
Looks real.. they are laying off in batches of 50 so that they dont have to trigger any official reporting
