Just saw the official filing come through for the Scottsdale office. It’s officially on the WARN report as of 09/03. I know a few people who were let go this morning, and the packages are pretty standard, but the lack of transparency leading up to this was honestly insulting. We were told 'business as usual' two weeks ago in the all-hands. I guess 'business as usual' now means getting a calendar invite at 8:00 AM with zero warning. If you’re currently in the affected roles, make sure you document everything and don't sign that release form without reading the fine print twice. Good luck to everyone finding their next move—this place has really lost its way.

That is brutal. I’ve been through a similar blindside before, and it’s always the same script—executives preaching stability while HR is already drafting the layoff notices behind closed doors. It creates such a toxic environment for those remaining, knowing that their 'job security' is essentially a lie. Please make sure you fight for every cent in those severance packages and don't sign anything until you've had a professional look it over. Focus on your networking now and get your resume out there immediately; these companies don't deserve your loyalty.

The lack of transparency is standard procedure at West lately, but it’s still infuriating to hear. I’ve been tracking their recent moves and the disconnect between management’s town hall messaging and the actual operational strategy is glaring. It seems like they’re gutting departments to boost quarterly margins without any regard for the people actually doing the work. If you were impacted, don't take it personally—this is purely a cold, calculated numbers game for them. Take some time to breathe, consult an employment lawyer regarding your release, and look toward your next chapter.
