Post-June 20th status: How are we actually doing with the 15% cut?

Confirmed 700ish people gone as of this week. The email was cold, as expected, but the fallout is going to be brutal. My entire pod was hit, and those of us remaining are being told to 'absorb' the extra workload without any mention of salary adjustments or clear priorities. Has anyone heard how the severance is actually being handled? Some folks on the floor are saying the paperwork is messy, and HR is basically non-responsive. The atmosphere in the office is dead quiet. You walk down the hall and see empty desks, and nobody even talks about the future anymore because we’re all just waiting for the next round. If you’re still here, are you sticking around to see if the AI roadmap actually pays off, or are you just here for the vest date? I’m honestly just trying to find a landing spot before the next rumored wave hits in the fall. If you got cut, I hope you’re doing okay—this place isn't what it was even two years ago.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. It's the same old corporate playbook—cut the headcount but expect the same output. I survived the last round here, and the 'do more with less' talk is just a setup for burnout. Don't fall into the trap of overextending yourself to cover for the people they laid off. Document everything you’re doing now because when the metrics inevitably slip, they’ll look for someone to blame. Take care of yourself first; these companies don't care about the people left behind.

The severance process was an absolute disaster for my team. Half the people I talked to got conflicting information, and HR acted like they were being bothered by us asking for basic clarity. It’s been total radio silence on the severance packages for days. The culture is completely gutted, and honestly, the silence in the office is deafening. If you have the energy, start updating your resume now. Being told to 'absorb' the extra work is just management’s way of saying they don’t plan on fixing the situation anytime soon.
