Lack of trust and Transparency

What I hate most about this company is the complete lack of trust in the employees to do the right thing in the face of adversity. They won’t be transparent up front about these changes with all impacted groups. It’s got to be like a secret squirrel mission in order to find out who’s impacted and when it’s happening. Have more faith in the people you hired to handle a layoff with grace and compassion. That’s why you hired most of the people because of who they are. I for one am not going to throw a guaranteed severance from a job I’ve been at for 20 plus years to go find another tech job right away. Have some faith and just be honest for once. Everyone is tired of this world and leadership lacking that trust in their people.

Just my two cents.

@OP I agree. C-suites have already let upper mgmt know what's coming down the pike for next Wed. Expecting everyone to be good soldiers by surprising employees who no doubt have made their own sacrifices for this company at one point or another is par for the course these days. Just to make their jobs easier. And no doubt a play book from other tech companies leveling their workforce for a short-term bump in stock price.
For me this doesn't overshadow the fact that this company finds itself in this situation because the top 1% of management is very far removed from understanding its customer base or any customers in general and unfortunately we're all collateral damage on their new path to self discovery. Side note, who else was confounded that SNL cast members have been making appearances in T-Mobile commercials for the past five years. Comcast had SO many resources and opportunities to tap into the zeitgeist and they buried their heads in the sand instead. Maybe layoff the top 1% instead? Probably save a lot more money anyway.
