I survived but clearly the layoff has created enough irreparable damage that Will be more than enough to sink the GF. I am already applying and so are my peers. No motivation to stay. All the bad and incompetent managers who are a-s lickers survived this round but am sure GF ship is leaking fast and all will sink. Matter of time.
None of us care what TC says now as trust is completely eroded and will never be build again. Even people who had some reason to stay are making every attempt to get out.
Laying off people like this is damaging, demotivating and ki--s the employees morale .
TC may be happy but he will see the sinking ship.

i went thru 7 layoffs in this company till i said to myself .. time to move on ... i got a offer , GF tried to counter to keep me .. i turned them down .. and now i am in my 5th yr .. and never regretted my decision ...
7 layoffs in the company was a mental drain every time it happened .. as you will be left wondering when ur turn will come , yes i took some time to find a position which suited me best .. close to 1.5 yrs to get something i love doing and enjoying it ...
do a reality check if you think staying on is the best option for you .. and if you get laid off .. are you able to get something quickly .. and is that something you love doing ...
I completely agree with the poster. Any other company with half decent senior management would have used such opportunity to get rid of the dead wood. Instead our insecure, incompetent, rotten management targeted the best and brightest . Not everyone who was kept was a boot li---r. But for sure all the incompetent boot lickers were kept. The prime example my own manager whose only talent seem to be licking the boot of everyone for her promotion at the expense of her team did not only not receive a well deserve kick out if the company, but according to her own claim is being promoted to VP!!!
Hopefully whoever interviews you will pick up on your rotten attitude. Make sure you use "--- lickers" as much as you do in your posts on this website. Share your own techniques too! You'll for sure impress them!

I agree, except CEO typical IPO package is at 1% of CAP, which is at present GFS stock price much higher than you think "he probably has another $40-50M more to sell as long as he can keep the share price high".
So, buckle up, TC is not done yet and more layoffs coming to secure his exercisable options. Can't wait for more DEI lecturing about equity and equality.
I just wish they let all of you who are so eager to jump ship volunteer for the layoff. Some of us worked hard just to get a foot in the door to have it pulled away.
Y'all keep working hard while Tom sold his share worth $16M in November. I am sure he probably has another $40-50M more to sell as long as he can keep the share price high.
It is true there will be one less sponge soaking up water in the midst of a drought, but the problem is there isn't any water found to begin with.
More layoffs coming. Keep heads high.
