The team that failed to protect us from a ransomware attack and the leaders responsible should be held accountable. Instead, we’re seeing promotions and bigger paychecks for the very people who failed, while the only ones seemingly surviving these layoffs are the Roger gang. What a complete failure of accountability and leadership.

@ds I told someone just this morning "outta my way, bozo!" as I sprinted to the toilet to sit for 3 hours. Just doing my best work for the best employer.

@OP Not likely in November. FQ3 (Jan-Mar) is much more likely. People moved to new roles in leadership will have had time to assess their teams and identify "opportunities for efficiencies." Mid-year fiscal reviews will be underway. Major holidays will be past as will any firings related to performance. People won't have earned many holiday days, so any payout for unused, earned holiday time will be minimized. Also, Jan-Mar has become the go-to time for layoffs in general.

Yes I’ve been told layoffs in November but I wasn’t told when in November. Predicting the first two weeks

@de agreed and confirmed 100%. I also see huge hiring in all geographies, the eagerness of people to get to their desks is unbelievable. If fact this morning I was pushed aside going into office by someone who wanted to start their best work for the company as soon as possible

I've never seen such dedication and togetherness as in this company

@OP Yes, layoffs will continue until the end.

It's part of the continuous t_e_r_r_o_r process designed to drive people to quit without pesky performance-related paperwork, layoff-related bad publicity, or severance.

Nobody wants to buy products that have essentially have ceased development and investment. So, increasing sales is not possible.

The only way they can improve numbers is to cut costs and the simplest way to cut costs is to cut people. The management is mostly simple-minded c___nts, so that is what they do.

Were you born yesterday?
