Is the June 28th CA wave the final one?

Just saw the WARN notice for the California office hitting for late June. Another 45 people being let go. Does anyone actually know if there is a 'phase 3' coming, or are they finally done with the cuts in this region? It feels like we are just getting death by a thousand cuts at this point. I’m honestly exhausted by the 're-balancing' emails that HR keeps sending out while we all look over our shoulders every Monday morning. My manager keeps saying our specific team is 'safe,' but we all know that script by now. Is there any visibility on whether the Q3 restructuring plan is fully baked, or should we expect more announcements in July? Really just trying to figure out if I need to update my resume tonight or if I can wait until the weekend.

The 'safe' label is the biggest red flag in corporate speak. Management has been feeding us that exact line since the first round of layoffs started back in January. Don't trust it. Based on how they've handled the previous phases, they rarely stop at just one announcement when they are trimming departments. Expect the re-balancing emails to continue through the end of the quarter. Keep your resume updated and start reaching out to your network now, because unfortunately, no one is truly off the radar until the entire structure is finalized.

It is exhausting watching the slow bleed happen in real-time. The constant uncertainty is arguably worse than just ripping the band-aid off once and for all. If this is truly the final wave for California, they would have communicated it clearly, but the vague language in the HR emails suggests they want to keep their options open. My advice is to stop looking for logic in their decision-making and start preparing for the worst-case scenario. If your manager says you are safe, take it with a massive grain of salt and focus on your own exit strategy.
