Layoff Report

Anyone else in Hunt Valley still in limbo?

Is it just me, or has the communication been nonexistent since Monday? I’m based out of the Hunt Valley office and the silence is deafening. I’ve seen the reports about the 4,800 headcount reduction globally, but it’s impossible to get a straight answer on how much of the local staff got cleared out. I walked into the building this morning and it felt like a ghost town. Seeing so many empty desks and knowing people who have been here for 10+ years just got wiped out by a calendar invite is demoralizing. Does anyone know if they are actually shuttering this location, or is this just a massive downsizing? I’m trying to decide if I should spend my time polishing my resume or waiting for a meeting that might never come. If you’re at this site, sound off. Are we just waiting for the next round, or is this the 'reset' they mentioned in the press releases?

Same situation here at the Redmond campus. The atmosphere is incredibly heavy and management is acting like nothing happened, which is honestly the most insulting part. I watched three of my teammates lose access to their accounts while we were in a meeting, and nobody had the guts to say a word. It’s disgusting how they treat people who dedicated a decade of their lives to this place. Just keep your head down and start updating your resume, because the loyalty here is officially dead.

I understand the frustration, but these large-scale shifts are unfortunately how the company has operated for years now. It is definitely unnerving to see the office so empty, but the lack of direct communication is standard corporate protocol to limit liability during layoffs. Focus on your own security right now rather than waiting for leadership to explain the headcount reductions. If you have been there for a long time, use your network outside of the office to find your next move before the uncertainty starts to affect your mental health.
