Kowalzky:

Prepared to collect the belongings, I'd suppose. Lightly so that you don't have anything extra to carry. 

This seems to be the theme. However, the idea is to not react immediately.

Just show up, follow instructions, and continue forward. At the end of the day, it is simply a job. There are others. We live in uncertain economic times, but we must keep faith and keep our heads up as we march on. Time never stops.

No pain no game.
 
Controversial

I have to assume he’s trying to brace you for upcoming layoffs.

My group is actually looking for a senior associate/junior vp type person.

PM if you know someone looking and I can direct you to the application portal.

 

What actually happen on layoff day? Do ppl get called into a meeting room individually and then shown the door immediately? Do they give ppl time to say good byes?

 

that's mad can't even chill in the lobby for a bit, just straight into the streets

 

Sounds like possibly layoffs. I don't know why a Group Head would think sending this out on a Sunday afternoon would make sense. I can bet many of the people who got this email will have trouble sleeping tonight. May just be me but I would rather not know until it actually happens in person. Someone close to me has dealt with a few Wall Street (one that was sort of expected due to performance issues and from my understanding, it's a relatively quick process).

 

Hearing layoffs happening tomorrow.  Good luck everyone (serious)
