How are we supposed to function when every month they have these last minute meetings, so encrypted, laying thousands of us off, with no regard to the affects on those that actually generate income???
You're not supposed to function. This is their modus operandi. They want to make our lives miserable enough to quit and save them severance money. It's all part of the plan, sadly.
It's diabolical, but true. That severance liability pool is a huge amount of money that they want to preserve. They used to give lump sum payouts, I believe prior to this year. Now, you get the payout on a schedule matching the payroll schedule, but taxed at a much higher rate. The skill of tenured employees and the relationships that they have built with clients has no value to them.
