According to the article most of the affected have been informed, but they have not informed everyone yet. I think it's a fair compromise.

Nobody wants to be told they have been laid off by finding your name in a power point in the morning, just because you live in a different time zone. They have offices around the world, so it is difficult to inform everyone at the same time without calling someone in the middle of the night.

At the same time those who have been informed are talking to other employees, and news spread fast. So they end up with a compromise - inform the company about the process.

They are handling it better than what I experienced not long ago. After announcing the layoffs and informing the affected, they did not communicate who was affected until the week after. Colleagues who had a good network knew who were affected by talking to each other, while others were left in the dark
