“As part of our annual planning process, we are making headcount adjustments across the company – small reductions in a couple of places and aggressive hiring in many others," the company said in an emailed statement. "For affected employees, we work to find roles in the areas where we are hiring.”

That makes me wonder if it’s low performers. From what I’ve seen, people don’t get laid off if their project is cut. They just move within the company. It encourages people to join high risk projects without fear of losing their job if the project doesn’t work.

I do expect some big changes this year based on some public announcements which haven’t been fully digested internally.
