Management knows what’s coming in Q4.
Complete the training. Hit the KPIs. Spend the budget. Build the pipeline. Check every box.
Because the game is already rigged.
The goal isn’t necessarily to offer severance. It’s to build the paper trail, stack the performance issues, and performance-manage employees right out the door.
10, 20, 30+ years of service?
Thanks for your contributions. Now feck off.
No severance. No payout. No real recognition.
Just a carefully documented performance process designed to get you out the door as cheaply as possible.
And then we’re expected to believe that a demoralised, exhausted workforce can somehow deliver record profits.
How does that work?
