VTO's are not offered because they want to do this in a controlled manner
The reason they don’t offer voluntary termination offers (VTO’s), is they want to do this in a controlled manner. VTO’s are hard to control, and you can go too deep, too fast. Then they end up paying “stay bonus’s” to execute a controlled migration... — read more

This is how it is really determined who gets laid off
I’m a retired leader who was involved in multiple headcount reductions. If you believe the company “targets” highly paid, tenured employees, you’re mistaken and probably naive. There are multiple layers of lawyers and HR people who scrub the impacted... — read more
