Is the SF office next to be shuttered entirely?

So, we just saw the notice for the 82 cuts in SF. Everyone I talk to in the office is trying to act like it’s just a routine 'optimization,' but the vibe is completely dead. Leadership keeps preaching about 'operational agility' while the headcount keeps thinning. If you’re based in Vegas, are you hearing anything about the long-term plan for the SF footprint? It feels like they’re just slow-rolling the closure of this location to avoid a bigger headline. I’ve been looking at my options because the stress of wondering if my badge will work on a random Tuesday in November is getting to be too much. If they’re cutting this many roles months in advance, it tells me they’ve already mentally checked out of this location. Stay safe everyone, and keep your resumes polished—don't trust the 'no further impact' emails.

The 'operational agility' talk is just standard corporate script designed to keep people from jumping ship before the final transition. If they are already gutting the headcount, the writing is on the wall. They’ve been shifting priorities toward their core markets for a while now, and keeping an expensive SF office just doesn't align with their current bottom-line focus. I’d advise you to stop waiting for clarity from leadership and start finalizing your exit plan. When the narrative shifts to 'optimization,' the doors usually aren't far behind.

I wouldn't hold your breath for any transparency from the top. It’s always the same cycle: first come the whispers, then the vague emails about efficiency, and then the lights go out. Given how much they’ve been pivoting recently, it’s highly probable the SF footprint is being phased out piece by piece to minimize public fallout. Most of the chatter I’ve picked up suggests they are moving toward a centralized model that doesn't include maintaining a physical presence there. Get your resume ready, because this is definitely the beginning of the end for that office.
