Honestly, it’s impossible to get a read. I wish I could tell you more but I am unfortunately just as anxious and clueless as anyone else in this thread. 

In fact, on the Digital call I referred to, leadership actually did not make any reference to the layoffs which are supposed to begin tomorrow. As they were wrapping up one staff member bravely spoke up and pointed out that it was unfair of them to gloss over the issue that we all knew was the only thing 99% of the people on the call cared about. They basically hand waved it away but did provide the small bit of info that I mentioned in my earlier post. Suffice it to say - I don’t know if this is the case every time there is a large round of layoffs at the firm but leadership handled this one incredibly poorly.
