No official mail, just verbal communication and notice on paper. Hard to get the exact number but at least 100 people affected. All of the Power mission is being moved to Guadalajara. A number of people from Mainframe are also being let go to make room for the ones kept on in Power. Separation notice letters were distributed last week to all floor staff and the affected managers, or those who weren't present last week are getting theirs this week. Last day of work is the 31st of July (with a few exceptions who have only until the 31st of May). The whole thing must have been in the works for quite some time as most of us received their letters on the day of announcement. Hard to figure out the exact selection criteria, but it looks like it's band, salary and, as usual, a pinch of favouritism. There was no volunteer search this time.
