1st year Analyst at Deutsche Bank

Would DB rescind offers from an incoming class. I've just finished uni and have an offer to start in a few weeks in Global Markets in London.

They are reported to be cutting thousands of jobs on Monday, even up to 50% of the investment bank I hear on the news, would incoming Analysts get the axe?

Should I be worrying about whether I actually have a job to turn up to? Would appreciate any thoughts from people actually in the industry!
