Is the Nov 8th notice just the tip of the iceberg?

Just saw the latest WARN filing for the Santa Ana site. One person might seem small on paper, but after the RIFs earlier this year, everyone is looking over their shoulder wondering if this is a trickle or if another wave is coming before the holidays. Does anyone actually have clarity on whether the restructuring phase is officially over, or are they still trimming departments to meet those Q4 margins? The lack of transparency from leadership is killing morale. If you’re in one of the impacted departments, are they offering any meaningful severance, or is it just the bare minimum? Stay safe out there.

The trickle-down effect is real, and the lack of communication from leadership is honestly exhausting. At this point, it feels like they are just salami-slicing the workforce to make the Q4 numbers look palatable for shareholders, regardless of the impact on morale or operations. I wouldn't bet on the restructuring being over; usually, when they start filing these small, staggered notices, it’s a calculated way to avoid larger regulatory flags while continuing the cutbacks behind the scenes. Keep your resume updated, because transparency is clearly not a priority for management right now.

Honestly, I’ve stopped looking for clarity and started focusing on my own exit strategy. Every time leadership claims we’re done with the restructuring, another 'adjustment' hits the wire. It’s a classic move to bleed out the headcount slowly to keep the stock price from cratering all at once. If you're feeling uneasy, trust your gut—the uncertainty is the point. They want to keep everyone just nervous enough to work hard but unsure enough not to rock the boat. It’s a toxic cycle, and unfortunately, I think we have a long way to go before things actually stabilize.
