ServiceNow San Diego: What product areas or teams were most affected?

This layoff sting is hitting hard here in San Diego. 63 people is a significant chunk. I've been hearing bits and pieces, but nothing definitive about which departments or specific product lines took the biggest hit. Was it engineering, sales, support, or a mix across the board? Some whispers suggest it was tied to specific product initiatives that are being scaled back or deprioritized. Trying to understand the strategic reasoning behind it, beyond just cost-cutting. If anyone has direct knowledge or has been able to piece together which teams were restructured or downsized, it would be helpful context for those of us still here trying to navigate the aftermath. Curious if it's a broad organizational change or more targeted.

It's a tough situation for everyone involved, especially when layoffs hit close to home. While I don't have any inside information on specific departments or product lines, it's not uncommon for companies to re-evaluate their strategic priorities during times of change. Sometimes this means shifting resources towards newer, high-growth areas or consolidating efforts. The uncertainty must be difficult, and I hope those affected land on their feet quickly.

This is definitely concerning news for the San Diego office. The scale of the layoffs suggests a broader strategic adjustment rather than just minor cuts. My guess is it's a mix, but likely focused on areas that aren't showing the expected growth or are being sunsetted. Product engineering and related support functions often bear the brunt of these shifts when initiatives are deprioritized. Hopefully, there's a clear plan for how the remaining teams will absorb the workload.
