Three senior level managers were displaced from core sites in ECMO.

There were more than 3. And not all women. I know of 8. And it was a span of control layoff.
@cb+1jpv77mfy Ha! No doubt you’ll be on this site saying how hard you worked and why would they let you go?
Being a manager is hard work agreed, but you delegate and try to make the workload equitable.
So whatever you are spouting off about is a mystery to me.
All three were women by the way.
You have to be really, really, REALLY bad to be let go if you’re a manager here. I’m in marketing. I have seen people literally skate by on a--kissing and smoke and mirrors for decades. All they have to do is say “I’m too busy” and bam - off the hook. Too busy doing what, nobody actually knows.
Being a manager is no fun! Agree with the person who says they worked a ton of hours. After 8 years of it, I was done! Have totally enjoyed the last decade as an individual contributor. Much less stress and hours.
Can confirm. I’ve been a manager, and I’ve been an individual contributor (sales) making double what I made then. The manager job was exponentially harder and more stressful. People su-k.
Why is it that someone in each stream always posts that managers are lazy? I manage a team of 17 directly and work 12 to 15 hour days. I work weekends so that my employees don't have to. I try to take as much burden from them as possible, because I know this is a hard time. I want them to be impacted as little as possible by all that is going on in the company right now, because I care about them as human beings. How is that lazy? I'm in a non-core location and will also eventually be displaced. Stop saying I'm lazy and no good.
There's this strange misconception out there that managers don't get fired. It's never been true. 'Spans and layers' is a thing, and even if it wasn't, you can't downsize 100,000 domestic employees and not get rid of a bunch of managers also. That's just not how this works. We're all in the same boat together. Individual contributors and managers. The executives are coming for all of us.
Which Managers (first names are fine) were let go?
One of them was close to retirement, one was location strategy. The third one had no rhyme or reason.
Hopefully many more overpaid lazy incompetent senior managers to be removed. Good riddance.
I personally know of a manager and a director displaced in the past three months, both in core locations.
What level? M3 4 5?
