Is everyone excited for the most wonderful time of the year? Annual layoffs ensure performance review season has never been more exciting! The more people we lay off, the fewer 1s and 2s, we have to award!
You survive annual layoffs, while your upward career mobility has never been smaller, and you have an ever decreasing probability of elevated performance rating! It’s almost like the goal of the ELT is to remove all the incremental career opportunities they enjoyed to get where they are. Other than that, the culture’s great!
