Since when did being "humane" contribute to profit?
>Everyone understood it was about the numbers not about your performance
The idea is literally to make the remaining employees think it's about performance. The company doesn't care what ex-employees think.
- brianmcc 3y agoThere's something to be said, after an initial "reduction in force" happens, for the remaining employees to look ahead and go: OK so I and my team may be at X% risk of layoffs, but with decent-to-good-to-sometimes-excellent severance pay and at least no prospect of dehumanizing PIPs/whatever, I am happy with those odds. Better than a pervasive dread amongst the whole workforce.

Just sayin' <<The idea is literally to make the remaining employees think it's about performance. Lol. No. They make them think about whether they can jump ship. edit: Basically, only ones without any options stay.
