Hi all,
I know one person in PES that was affected by restructuring and was literally "unfired". He disappeared from the system just to reappear the very next day. The ISP code for restructuring disappeared as well. His manager said he talked with CK and got "more time". This person doesn't do his previous job, but what he does remains a mystery.
I also know of people who used to be individual contributors and some time in March they became managers. The pattern was similar. There was a team of let's say 12 people and one of them becomes a manager of 6 of those colleagues and their manager has now just 6 direct reports.
I also know of people quite high up in hierarchy (e.g., MDs) that suddenly got random team of direct reports.
Seems that all were tricks to save them from restructuring as they were all expensive and often useless.
Do you know of similar stories?
