Thread regarding Illumina Inc. layoffs

New company values incoming

In an impressive, tireless display of destroying everything they touch, our great leaders are ready to announce their new “values”. I know that “we are open” no longer applies. Let’s predict how badly they’ll butcher them, plunging us ever faster toward a consultant-directed hellscape.

Redoing the values (when the prior ones were just fine) is the nadir of a company. It’s the epitome of a management team that has nothing more substantive or compelling to offer… an utter waste of time, energy, and money. Pull the plug on Illumina. It will not be revived.

@c2 excellent, probably a few hundred grand in consulting fees to have chatGPT reword the values. Sounds like efficiency, discipline, and rigor.

It's mostly the same as the old values, reordered and refocused. The most significant changes are not a surprise, and may even be welcomed.

New values:

  • agility (to dodge accountability)
  • efficiency (through elimination)
  • growth (through acquisition)
  • doing more with less, then more with even less (burnout builds character)
  • culture of collaboration (out of necessity because no team is fully staffed)
  • Sustainability (of executive bonuses)
