June 26 RIF: How deep did they cut the Search team?

Just got the invite to a 'brief touchpoint' meeting with my manager ten minutes ago. Based on the HR Digest article from this morning, I guess I have my answer. I’ve been at Elastic for four years, and this feels different from the last few rounds. The atmosphere has been incredibly tense since the beginning of the month, but it feels like they specifically targeted the core Search and Analytics teams this time around. Has anyone heard if the cuts were regional or if they hit the product org globally? I’m mostly just trying to figure out if my access will be pulled immediately after the call or if they’re doing the 'transition period' thing. To everyone else sitting in this limbo, good luck. This company used to feel like a community, but today it just feels like a spreadsheet line item.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I have friends in the Search org who received the same calendar invite this morning. From what we are hearing in the slack channels, it looks like this wave was focused on consolidating the product teams globally, not just one region. It seems like leadership is trying to pivot resources toward the AI-integrated stack, which unfortunately means a lot of the legacy core search folks are being pushed out. Take care of yourself today; the uncertainty is the worst part.
