Just saw the WARN notice hit for the Almanor Ave location. It’s 128 heads. The effective date is December 16th, which is honestly a disgusting time to pull the plug on people right before the holidays. I’ve been hearing whispers about headcount reduction since the Q3 earnings call, but seeing the actual number on the CA portal makes it real. My team is currently in limbo waiting to see if our project group is on the chopping block. If you’re at the Sunnyvale site, keep an eye on your calendar for 'check-in' meetings with HR appearing out of nowhere. Seriously, if you're affected, make sure you download your performance reviews and any non-proprietary docs you might need for future references before they cut your access. Wishing everyone the best of luck—this industry is brutal right now.

That’s brutal timing. Doing this right before the holidays is completely heartless, even if the rumors have been circulating for months. Management loves to talk about long-term growth and hitting targets, but they clearly don't care about the actual humans behind the headcount. My heart goes out to everyone at the Sunnyvale site who is currently stuck waiting for the other shoe to drop. It’s impossible to focus on deadlines when you’re constantly wondering if you’ll still have a desk next week. Stay strong, and keep updating your resumes just in case.

Unfortunately, this is becoming the standard playbook for the industry lately. Everyone gets nervous after the quarterly earnings calls, but seeing the WARN notice makes it hit differently. It sucks that employees are being treated as disposable numbers to please shareholders, especially with the holiday season approaching. If you are part of the impacted group, make sure you document everything and look into your severance packages immediately. To those still hanging on in the office, use this time to network and reach out to your colleagues. It’s a small industry, and supporting each other is the only way through this.
