September 16 WARN notice - who actually got the axe?

Just saw the official WARN filing drop for the 16th. It’s always cryptic with the headcount numbers. For those of us still sitting at our desks today, is it business as usual or is the floor just cleared out in your department? I’m hearing rumblings that this wasn’t just a few mid-level roles, but a broader consolidation of the digital units. I’ve been checking internal directories and noticed a few grayed-out names already. If you were impacted or know someone who was, can you confirm if they’re offering any severance packages this time around? It feels like the goalposts keep moving every quarter. Stay safe out there.

The mood on the floor is absolute misery. My department is gutted, and you're right—it’s not just mid-level roles. They hit the digital teams hard, which feels like a total shift in strategy. People are scrambling to understand the criteria because it feels random and cold. I spent the morning checking the directory too, and seeing those empty slots is haunting. Don't expect business as usual; everyone is currently glued to their phones waiting for another calendar invite or a final sign-off. It’s quiet, tense, and honestly, nobody trusts the leadership right now.

From what I’ve gathered, this round was far more aggressive than the previous ones. It’s definitely a consolidation play, but it feels poorly communicated and chaotic. Several teams in the digital unit are barely operational today because of how many folks were cut at once. If your directory is already showing gray names, you’re looking at a permanent structural change rather than a temporary layoff. Everyone is keeping their head down and protecting their work, but the morale is basically non-existent. Good luck to everyone currently stuck in the middle of this mess.
