Patterns look strange. It almost feels like the “biggest risks” for employees are:
• Being a woman
• Turning 40+
• Taking maternity leave
• Dealing with serious illness
If that’s what our “business-driven decisions” end up looking like…
is this really a board-approved standard, or just how it played out this time?
I just had a former CDW coworker let me know that the jobs of a few people who were let go in July are now posted on LinkedIn. These were longer-term coworkers who were making a clear and critical impact for CDW who were let go--all of them in their late 40s/early 50s.
And now CDW tries to rehire for those jobs?
I see a lawsuit in CDW's future.
Cisco needs someone who can better manage layoff crisis other than Francine always trying to be a barbie doll all the time
I did not believe it before but I do now. In years past exxon would pip a variety of employees. I saw the old,young,men ,women,minorities and whites equally piped. Exxon took care to have a diversity in the piping. This year I at 54,another at 56,one at 63, another at 61 and last one at 64 years of age were nsied. We were all male one minority and the balance white. No women were nsied in our division. All of our performance issues were due to age,CL and high pay. I can say everyone of us out performed the younger employees in our groups. Well it is working because all the retirement eligible employees are leaving and I have to stay a year till 55. It has never been this apparent that exxon was targeting the old. One thing good about this is at least they did not nsi the vulnerable employees in their 40's. We oldies can afford to leave and will take one for the team. Remember youngsters you will be old one day too. What ever happens to us will someday happen to you so prepare for it. You have been warned.
FYI that leaders now have access to see everyone under them who was eligible for ERP and the status of each eligible person (enrolled, waived, no response). Obviously, this sets up associates age 50 and over for potential bias and age discrimination in the future. There is no good reason to share the names of associates who didn't take the ERP. Terrible HR practices.
When you get laid off it displays the ages of all that were displaced with you so you can’t use age discrimination against them. (Not saying that they don’t use it) #ageism does exist
don't panic, its for mostly old people, they want to push this along with IBM, so they can say they are not the only one to do this, #Ageism
