Is the Livermore cut just the beginning?

I’ve been reading the WARN notices and seeing the reports about the 200 people let go at the Livermore site earlier this month. It’s impossible to ignore the tension in the office lately. Even if you survived this round, you can feel the shift in atmosphere. Management is still talking about 'streamlining' and 'operational efficiency,' which we all know is just corporate speak for more budget tightening. Has anyone heard anything about further waves coming down the pipeline, specifically for the engineering teams in Fremont or Tualatin? It feels like we are all just waiting for the next calendar invite to drop out of nowhere. I’ve been putting in extra hours to try and stay invisible, but honestly, it’s exhausting. Does anyone have an actual read on the roadmap for the rest of Q2? Are we expecting more headcount reductions, or is the worst behind us? Stay safe out there, everyone.

The atmosphere in the office has been suffocating since the announcement. Every time leadership drops those buzzwords about 'operational efficiency,' the whole team goes quiet because we all know what it implies. I’ve seen enough cycles here to recognize the pattern, and frankly, the lack of transparency is the worst part. It feels like we are all just waiting for the next shoe to drop. If you are hearing rumors, don't ignore them; start updating your resume quietly just in case things get worse before they stabilize.
