If he gave managers a heads up, it would have been immediately leaked to the press.

Becoming a manager in large enterprise companies is basically an entry-level position all over again..

Except people care even less about your job experience since you're "leadership" now and are expected to toe the line no matter what.

At faangs not even directors get a head up before the night before on plans. The only ones that can set strategy are VPs and above.
Truer words have not been spoken. Can confirm from my experience.
Lol. This was floating on Blind for at least 2-3 days.
Blind has predicted 5 of the last 3 layoffs.
That's why as a journalist you cannot use it a legit source. But usually you get an advanced warning.

This comes with the cost of the paranoia induced by seeing the corporate underbelly

So the weekly layoffs thread is right sometimes!
Good thing it didn't leak then, huh
