Thread regarding Bed Bath & Beyond layoffs

From the rollout of MyHR through multiple layoffs and finally this logistical disaster, the HR team has lead the way into the abyss. Foul ups at every turn. You could argue that these moves are unprecedented for the company. They are. But real leaders surround themselves with expert teams that will have the foresight to anticipate many of the things that will go wrong. There is no crystal ball, but smart people plan for less than perfect outcomes so they are not scrambling around trying to figure out how to call tens of thousands of people at home on a moment's notice. Did you know that that there was a speech prepared in case the Apollo astronauts didn't return from the moon? If you can be compared poorly to the Nixon administration, maybe you should work the counter at a Fro-Yo shop instead.
