It’s unfortunately common when financial end of year is around the same time.

Announced now, people can at least try to scale back Christmas and NYE plans if necessary.



How many people will be getting told they're part of it? I would suspect this will be hanging over their heads as an unknown element. Is it even possible for HR to manage off-boarding 17% of the company within a month?


From the article:

> Earlier today, CEO Daniel Ek shared the following note about the company’s organizational changes with all Spotify employees.

> ...

> you will receive a calendar invite within the next two hours from HR for a one-on-one conversation. These meetings will take place before the end of the day on Tuesday


I saw that but I honestly don't think it's possible for HR to handle about 1,500 off-boarding meetings within 2 days.


Those meetings are just formality. your fate is already sealed.


Exactly a formality, something that has to be done. How are they going to handle that in 48 hours? To me, it's a sign that some people get to know straight away and some will find out later.


Something I'm sure their CEO will do out of kindness and solidarity. /s

How depressing.
