>We expect to announce restructurings and layoffs in our tech groups in late April, and then our business groups in late May. In a small number of cases, it may take through the end of the year to complete these changes.

Wow, that's a pretty long timeline from announcement to execution. Being told you might be laid off some time in the next 10 months. I guess they're hoping people quit?

Well, you get no severance if you quit, but if you sit at your desk and watch youtube all day you get a "pip" and 3 or more months paid time off if they let you go.

You also burn bridges with many people if you do this though, which may not be a good long-term strategy if you're planning to stay in the software business. It is a small world in many ways.
