Layoffs happening right now.

5-days in the office starting Sept 1. They were watching managers badge swipes and soon theyll track everyone.

Did you hear? Alcon is changing job titles across the board. Word is, the real plan is to slim down the workforce without actually having to do layoffs. It’s all a bit sneaky if you ask me!

Anyone knows why Alcon laid off so many global medical safety folks?

Any insight would be appreciated.
