Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

If you got a partial, don't even try
The clock is ticking, with time running dry
A senseless fate, a path so unclear
No room to breathe, no moment to fear

Their chance at life, a brief reprieve
Slips away, as moments start to leave
In this cruel game, they're left to pray
For just one more day, before the final say

The clock is ticking, with seconds few
A countdown to doom, for all they knew
No point in fighting, no chance to thrive
Their story's ending, and it won't survive

Very sad situation, indeed so true
A life cut short, with nothing left to do
But cherish memories, of moments past
And hope that someday, their legacy will last.

If you got a partial, there’s no point of even trying. The clock is ticking for them. Very sad situation.

"5% did not meet, 15% Partial"
5% we don't like for very reasons
15% we only partially like for very reasons
the metrics and numbers don't mean much anymore when the companies
are propped up or not by wall street

This company is totally lost. Everyone is protecting their own favorites regardless of their capabilities. I have seen a few smart people let go instead of jokers who have good connections. The Apple folks don't really care who is impacted. They are not smart. They are not your friends. They are on a mission. They just want reduction.

"Could the partials be laid off in near future?"
Let's shake the 8 ball.
"All signs point to yes."
2 out of 3?
"Cannot predict now."
"It is decidedly so."

Some times things are just obvious, people.
There will be no mysteries to solve for the next two 5% cuts.

They will get rid of people they don't like. It's as simple as that. Nothing to do with their accomplishments. It's all games being payed by d-mb people leaders!

"Get rid of more the higher up the ladder you go."
Yup, a lot of money to save up there with very little skill.

We could probably do without 50%.

Get rid of more the higher up the ladder you go.
