Thread regarding Western Digital Corp. layoffs

Another round of layoffs in the works?

Looks like the incompetent SSD management has come up with a new way of pushing people out. They have created a set of new criteria to evaluate people. They are trying to show that engineers are not performing at their newly concocted job descriptions. Hence, making an excuse to lower engineers’ job grade. Management is evidently clueless that they cannot simply manufacture job incompetence if engineers without first making those goals for people. Thus may be a new ploy to fire people.

If layoffs didn't happen 8/16 then it might be 8/23 or 8/30.

Standing up against slag on the internet looks pathetic, after sitting silently through wave after wave of targeted layoffs.

Equality shouldnt be about removing people you dislike or fear.

With that logic, anyone hopping on their soap box preaching their social justice should find the nearest bus and place themselves under it.

The new grading plan is likely just another way for executives to target older workers... or should we say age inflated wage earners.

Anyone who use “re--rded” as a pejorative shouldn’t be laid off. They should be fired. Bigotry and stigmatization against people with intellectual disability is just wrong.

These clowns have wasted an entire year with this OKR nonsense. This is 'at-will' employment. WD can terminate me at any time. I can leave WD at any time. You don't need to give any reason.

I have no fu----g clue why these mo--ns wasted so much time and energy on this if the plan was to simply push half the experienced male individual contributors out of the door.
