If a company wants to fire some people they believe can cause legal trouble if fired individually, somtimes they will spend a year or two reorganizing in a way that incidentally have many of these people all ending up in the same part of the organization.
Then they can do layoffs there, seemingly without violating any wrongful termination laws.
Somehow the best developers and others who contribute directly to the bottom line tend to be unaffected by such events.
- refulgentis 3y agoI had on very good word that Bard / Assistant was used as a husk for this. New managers managers manager moves in with a good chunk of people to Help With Bard. Then 6 months later you and the older handers are asked to move to an exciting new opportunity in Assistant. of course it's an opportunity, we're investing in it. Bla bla bla. 8 weeks later your roles have been eliminated, you're locked out of everything except the internal jobs listing site for the next 8 weeks. (Note this was happening _before_ tonight's culling) Sundar's really done a great job with culture
