Laid off? Public Service Announcement

If you get laid off and your manager insinuates he/she had no choice he’s a fu--ing useless liar (common for Danaher managers with no ba--s). It means he doesn’t care because he is a coward, didn’t fight for you, or wanted you gone. That and he decided to rate you low on potential for whatever reason.

Don’t ever listen to these corporate frauds who tell you ‘it’s above their pay grade or head’ or some other nonsense.

It was THEIR fault and equally your bosses boss. So those two are the ones who should be targeted when you seek revenge.

I’m really tired of the Stockholm syndrome and delusion of some employees here thinking their manager is an angel and on their side when these events happen. They aren’t.


Make sure not to overcommit

I thought it was a good idea to keep piling on extra work to make myself layoff-proof. Instead, I'm now drowning, my work quality is significantly suffering, and I've set an unsustainable standard. I might have actually made myself a target by being stretched too thin.


Carefully pick who gets a layoff

It would be better to layoff people who don’t want to be there. The people who are cheering for layoff because they don’t like being there. These are people they should pick for layoffs. They are going to leave anyway. They are not motivated. Have low morale because they don’t like the changes. The people remote also qualify for layoff. People who have average of 2days or less RTO should also be qualified for a layoff. People who have been at walgreens for years and have a high salary should also qualify for layoff. People close to retirement should also qualify for a layoff. Managers that don’t manage and don’t contribute should also qualify for layoffs. Overall, I think we may have 1500 people like that. Then what you have left is people who wanted to stay and like to work.

What is ailing big bank?

Go to any of the other banks' board on layoff.com and it's the same as Citi - people complaining about RIF's, forced low rankings, little raise completely out of touch with modern inflation and lowered bonuses...bank of america, JP, Wells, BNY, State Street. All of those boards look identitical to Citi's layoff board. Yet, bank's profits, including Citi, are high and stocks at record highs.

What's the issue for such low employee morale at big banks?

What are you hearing about Feb 9th week for Support Office layoffs?

Tons of rumors about layoffs starting Wednesday or Thursday, followed by a town hall. And/or significant re-organization. What groups are you hearing will be impacted? Are there any areas deemed "safe" from layoffs? Feels like something big is about to happen.


Multiple manager level layoff

At the current scale, multiple layers of management are not required. For teams of approximately 50 employees, one manager is sufficient to ensure effective supervision and decision-making. Maintaining additional management layers leads to unnecessary overhead and increased costs without proportional value.


Understanding The WARN Act: A Survival Guide for Corporations Who’d Rather Not Warn Anyone

How large corporations (purely hypothetically, of course…) elegantly sidestep WARN Act Requirements with the grace of a tax‑optimized ballerina.

Dear Valued Human Capital Unit,

As part of our ongoing commitment to Transparency™, Integrity™, and ***Doing Whatever Minimizes Our Regulatory Exposure™, we’d like to explain how the WARN Act works — and how we, as a forward‑thinking enterprise, heroically avoid triggering it.
“We Value Transparency — Which Is Why We Carefully Avoid Situations That Require It.”
Because nothing says transparency like never triggering a legal obligation to be transparent.

What the WARN Act Actually Says
The WARN Act requires companies to give advance notice before big layoffs:
- Federal WARN: 60 days
- New York WARN: 90 days (because New York likes to go big)

A “mass layoff” is triggered when a company lets go of a certain number of employees in a short window.
In other words:
If we fire too many of you at once, we have to tell you in advance.
And we can’t have that.
“We Care Deeply About Our People.”
Just not enough to notify them 60–90 days in advance.

How Even the Most Admired Companies Gracefully Avoid WARN Requirements

Below is our Strategic Workforce Optimization Playbook™, designed to ensure that no WARN notice ever darkens your inbox.

1. The “Rolling Layoff” Ballet
Why lay off 250 people at once when you can lay off:

  • 20 this week
  • 20 next week
  • 20 the week after (and so on... and so on...)
    Each batch is too small to trigger WARN.
    It’s like slicing a pizza into 64 pieces so you can claim you “barely ate anything.”
    “If We Fire You in Small Enough Groups, It Doesn’t Count.”
    It’s not a mass layoff — it’s a series of unfortunate Tuesdays! :(
    “We Believe in Right‑Sizing.”
    And, just like our P-O-M model, right‑sizing is always easier when done in small, WARN‑free batches.

2. Performance Recalibration™ (formerly known as “forced ratings”)
If we classify your departure as “performance‑related,” it magically stops being a layoff.
This is why your rating went from “Exceeds Expectations” to “Needs Immediate Adult Supervision” overnight.
It’s not personal.
It’s math.
“Your Performance Didn’t Drop — Our Need to Avoid WARN Spiked.”
Funny how that works.

3. Voluntary‑Involuntary Resignation™
We gently encourage you to resign by offering:

  • A severance package
  • A relocation to a city you’ve never heard of
  • A return‑to‑office mandate >1,200 miles from your home
  • A performance plan written by someone who’s never met you
    If you resign, it doesn’t count as a layoff.
    If it doesn’t count as a layoff, we don’t owe WARN notice.
    If we don’t owe WARN notice, we can continue “right‑sizing” with stealth‑mode efficiency.
    “We’re Committed to Supporting You… As You Exit the Organization Voluntarily.”
    Voluntary exits = no WARN.
    And we love, love Voluntary Resignations.”
    Especially the ones we engineered. (wink, wink, cha-ching, heart emoji)

4. Attrition‑By‑Policy™
We don’t lay you off.
We simply:

  • Close your site
  • Move your job offshore
  • Change your job title
  • Change your job responsibilities
  • Change your job location
  • Change your job existence
    If you leave because your job evaporated, that’s “voluntary attrition,” not a layoff.
    WARN Act avoided.
    Mission accomplished.

5. The Magical 89‑Day Window
New York WARN triggers at 90 days.
So if we restructure every 89 days, we’re not “avoiding the law.”
We’re “maximizing operational cadence.”
“We Believe in Transparency… After the Fact.”
Usually when your badge stops working.

6. The “We’re Not Laying You Off, We’re Transforming You” Strategy
We don’t eliminate your job.
We digitally liberate it.
If an AI model replaces you, that’s not a layoff.
That’s innovation.
And innovation is exempt from WARN.
(Spiritually, if not legally.)
“AI Isn’t Taking Your Job. We Are. AI Just Makes It Look Cleaner.”
And cheaper. And faster. And WARN‑free.

NOW REMIND US WHY COMPANIES DO THIS

Because WARN notices are:

  • Public
  • Reported to the state
  • Reported to local officials
  • Picked up by the media
  • Bad for investor optics
  • Bad for recruiting
  • Bad for executive bonus season

So instead of issuing a WARN notice, we simply:

  • Restructure
  • Recalibrate
  • Rebalance
  • Re‑optimize
  • Re‑imagine
  • Re‑locate
  • Re‑assign
  • Re‑categorize
  • Re‑classify
  • Re‑brand layoffs as “career transitions”

Final Message

We hope this clarifies why you will never receive a WARN notice here:
We don’t do layoffs. We Just Make Staying Impossible.”
RTO policy violations, relocations, reorgs, PIPS, terminations of work from home associates — pick your poison.
We do “strategic workforce evolution.”
We evolve our workforce thoughtfully to meet future challenges.
(Translation: We avoided WARN, but you can’t prove it.)
And if that evolution happens to reduce your employment status to “former,” please know:
It’s not you.
It’s the tax code.


Corruption in the Castle

How could the 20 year plus employees survive this round of layoffs…Director and Manager?
Good old boy network is still alive and thriving.

Hardworking, educated, younger employees did not get a fair shake, 20 plus years of corruption…shame on you Director and Manager!
