Company Layoffs

[RootDKJ]

Man are they going about it all wrong. If you are going to have layoffs you gotta do it all at once. Start dicking around with a few here and a few here and pretty soon the smart folks (the ones you want to keep) are gonna start leaving on their own.

tell me about it. panic is spreading everywhere

Exactly RIGHT !!!

Anyone with OPTIONS starts exercising them and votes with their feet and often what's left -- well you get the picture

Looks like I made the final cut everyone. I'll get final confirmation at 3pm tomorrow.

aka attrition. Also gets a company the desired effect. Most would actually loose employees to attrition rather than an actual layoff. Looks better on the books.

great !

On the not so great side, one of my employees didn't make it. I didn't find out until 7pm last night. I think the department admin might of bought it also. My guys talk like a pack of school girls. I already know that everybody on my team found out. I won't have anything to say until after 3 today. Very challenging.

One of my co-managers got demoted back down to an engineer and 3 of his team got cut.

While today will be a sad day, I am very glad I won't have to sleep on GSS's couch.

It would be hard to sleep with him stoping all over you while trying to do steezey tricks of said couch.

Update #2 - I heard another 550 got let go today, but I can't confirm that #.

My job with the company changed and I have a new boss. The final structure isn't set in stone yet. My new boss is based out of Delaware. I'll probably work around 50% from home and I think I get to keep the company car.

After our meeting today, I went out to be bar and bought my old boss two rounds as a thank you.

I'm so spent after all of the emotions today. I can't wait to ski
