Restructuring [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Headquarters Relocation Charges | Restructuring and Other Charges Restructuring Charges (Credits) In fiscal 2016, we initiated a plan to restructure our workforce and consolidate select facilities to reduce our cost structure and to realign our investments with what we believe to be our higher growth opportunities. The actions resulted in total restructuring charges of $84.7 million, primarily associated with termination benefits associated with approximately 800 employees. This restructuring plan is substantially complete. The following table summarizes restructuring accrual activity for the six months ended March 31, 2018:
| Employee severance and related benefits |  | Facility closures and related costs |  | Total

Of the accrual for facility closures and related costs, as of March 31, 2018, $1.9 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $1.4 million is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accrual for facility closures is net of assumed sublease income of $3.4 million. The accrual for employee severance and related benefits is included in accrued compensation and benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other - Headquarters relocation charges Headquarters relocation charges represent accelerated depreciation expense recorded in anticipation of exiting our current headquarters facility. In 2019, we will be moving into a new worldwide headquarters in the Boston Seaport District, and we will be vacating our current headquarters space. Because our current headquarters lease will not expire until November 2022, we are seeking to sublease that space. If we are unable to sublease our current headquarters space for an amount at least equal to our rent obligations under the current headquarters lease, we will bear overlapping rent obligations for those premises and will be required to record a charge related to any rent shortfall. A charge for such shortfall will be recorded in the earlier of the period that we cease using the space (which will likely occur in the second quarter of our fiscal 2019) or the period we exit the lease contract. Additionally, we will incur other costs associated with the move which will be recorded as incurred. In the second quarter of 2018, we incurred an incremental $1.0 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to shortening the estimated useful lives of leasehold improvements in our current facility.
