Pleasanton office impacted by the 11/30 WARN notice

Just saw the official WARN filing drop for Pleasanton. It’s 142 people officially, effective November 30th. I know there have been whispers for a few weeks, but seeing it on paper makes it real. Does anyone know which orgs are taking the biggest hit? My team has been in the dark, and leadership is doing that classic thing where they talk about 'strategic alignment' without actually saying a word about headcount. I’ve survived three rounds of cuts already, but this time feels different—like the focus is shifting away from core engineering toward the offshore centers mentioned in those recent reports. If you got the calendar invite for a 'business update' today, please share if you’re comfortable. Just trying to figure out if I should start updating my resume tonight or if I have a few more weeks to breathe. This transparency about cost-cutting while executives talk about growth is just insulting at this point.

I was in the office when the news started circulating, and the mood is just heavy. Everyone is glued to their Slack status, waiting for that dreaded meeting invite. It’s infuriating how they hide behind corporate buzzwords like 'strategic alignment' while people’s livelihoods are on the line. I’ve seen this script play out before, and it never gets easier. If you’re feeling anxious, you aren’t alone. My advice is to update your resume and start networking quietly today—don’t wait for them to give you the signal, because the company certainly isn’t going to provide any clarity until it’s far too late.

Honestly, the lack of transparency is the worst part. Management acts like we don't know what’s happening, but we all see the numbers and the public filings. It seems like the cuts are hitting the older product teams the hardest, which makes sense given the shift in focus, but it’s still cold. I’ve already started reaching out to recruiters outside the company. If you’re worried, just know that your value isn’t tied to your desk at Workday. Take care of yourselves and try to get as much documentation as you can before the systems potentially go dark.
