@26g Their PIPs (especially if undeserved and unexpected and given to high performers) are to create the paper trail to avoid an unlawful termination lawsuit: and to avoid paying severance. Many corporations participate in this nonsense unfortunately. HR is definitely NOT your friend.
It is never safe. I was with Target for 25 years and my own department had 4 layoffs. There is more to come. They will get rid of management when they are top heavy and then they get rid of people who are one foot already in the door due to PIPs and whatnot.
Nope start a union it's the only way to get protected
Packaging Engineering is pretty safe from the looks of it; 90% legal work, 10% design for the departments that actually “design”, most do not. One of the few teams that lost less than a handful of TMs.
I doubt there will be any layoff this year but I would expect them next year. Reminder there's a system freeze in October so that nothing affects Q4 so unless something happens in a few weeks, it won't happen this year.
Every corporation is using the same playbook: cut costs, improve supply chain, efficiency, blah blah blah. If you can't point to bottom line value, you're at risk in this environment and that's just reality.
they are doing stealth layoffs within teams, but I do not expect another mass layoff right now.nobody should ever feel safe though, looks like leadership wants to clean house of the old people that have worked in the same roles for many years not old age but being there in the same role for many years super toxic place
@sf the level of professionalism at this company is well below at what I would expect at a workplace
People that go into work are safe, dog walkers and bus stop patrols can stay home and find another job. Shouldn't be hard since they consider themselves hard working important cogs in the work world!
Bwaaaa haaaa haha
Time to buy a car and get daycare
Tee hee
@bw what is your source?
is this just speculation or have you heard anything
No I’m sure more mass layoffs coming soon
Entire c-suite are safe. Everyone else, not so much.
