: At least 50 people were downsized out of their jobs at Sirius XM on Tuesday (Oct. 14), slightly ahead of schedule: The name of the game is now "damage control," as the company's carefully laid termination plans inadvertently leaked a little early to those adversely affected employees. R&R has learned that the avalanche began on Monday (Oct. 13), when an employee routinely accessed the company's internal Ultipro payroll site and was startled to find a termination date of Oct. 15 next to their name. Shortly thereafter, fellow staffers alerted, the great land rush began, as all employees within shouting distance logged on to try and ascertain their fate. Shortly thereafter, access to the site was reportedly denied, but by then the damage had been done. We hear an emergency management meeting was held Monday afternoon, the memos from HR began flying, and the terminated employees were formally contacted.
