But in what demented mind do you temporarily hire tens of thousands of extremely expensive and highly skilled workers (to do what?) and then wipe out all those projects in a year?
Even if you treat people as completely disposable garbage, it doesn't even make any sense in terms of projects, to urgently come up with projects for 10k+ people then urgently cancel them. Again, these are decades-old, established, money-making companies.
- bmitc 4y agoI actually agree with your analysis, too. It must honestly be both a case of treating employees as liabilities and idiotic planning. I have never understood layoffs, especially where the companies start re-hiring immediately after. I was at a startup that did insane hiring and then performed layoffs. They pitched it as employees not performing, but what had really happened is that the upper management overhired because of growth hype and then never correctly trained and onboarded employees. I didn't get laid off, but I literally got moved from one team to a new team only for the new team to be disbanded and merged back into my original team, all within like four months. Even with all that going on, I got switched between projects like every month. Like, how is your planning that bad that that happens?
