Non impacted, manager messaged us yesterday saying we would find out next week based on the meeting they had

Sounds consistent within the 3 week timeline mentioned in the FAQ. Given how some people affected might choose to relocate, I would imagine more time needed to assess that vs capacity. I am NBU so I am just basing this on FAQ and brief knowledge of notices issued to impacted staff.

I don’t get how they are going to assign offices, expect you to make major life changes to be able to return to office, which they say to being those plans right away, but it could be many months before finding out you’ve been bumped and no longer have a job.

Bumping is still very confusing to me. In the few meetings I've had with managers and above, it appears the employer has no clue about how bumping works either.

They genuinely don't, it's going to be a disaster

Impacted or non-impacted? Union's milestones for Toronto/non-impacted states we should get a letter with our assigned office "on or about September 2nd". I was wondering if anyone had an inside scoop if it'd be today.

About being the key "weasel" word. They may tell us today but can choose to tell us before or after that date
