This company initially had the foundation for success, but it’s now hindered by poorly qualified human resources leadership. These individuals lack the necessary expertise and act as self-appointed enforcers, often distorting facts to suit their narrative. Take a moment to research your “leaders” on LinkedIn.
While basic tasks can be taught to almost anyone, a college education provides rigorous training and testing that goes far beyond simple administrative processes. This level of preparation cannot be replaced by merely learning to handle paperwork.
Will you face a layoff? Your future depends on the health and culture of the company—both of which are being steered by individuals whose degrees are often unrelated to human resources, if they have degrees at all.
Best of luck. In the future, consider joining a company that prioritizes placing qualified individuals in leadership roles.
Poor leadership spreads like a disease. The consistent underperformance across multiple markets has one common denominator: the misguided “culture” shaped by inadequately skilled HR leaders.
