Thread regarding Follett layoffs

So what's next?

The ivory tower is full of incompetent a-holes , with no values or morals! Don’t bother having a town hall just to tell your lies (HO RIFs), screw us of our benefits (merit, reviews, 401k, bonus) and then blame all the people YOU fired 2 ½ years ago for the sh*tshow of today. It’s funny because you were all so c---y about how easy it is to run this business. Whaddya think now? Get your heads out of your butts and look how you are treating your people, and then you are surprised at the results.

Hey Follett family, keep giving your money away on failing acquisitions! It’s a great cover-up for the Follett failures, but you know it’s really because of the education slog! LOL!

Watch the town hall and listen to RG talk about SLOG and BHAG. He never defined Follett's BHAG's. Could it be they don't know or have one? The definition is presented below.

BHAG stands for Big Hairy Audacious Goal, an idea conceptualized in the book, “Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies” by James Collins and Jerry Porras. According to Collins and Porras, a BHAG is a long-term goal that changes the very nature of a business' existence.

Follett's bhag? ruin the morale of the employees who contribute to the success of Follett. Lay off the worker bees while senior leadership goes untouched. Make numbers at all cost to the long term health of the business.

Perhaps that BHAG is included? book fairs? starbucks?

Senior management isn't doing so well considering that Follett is STILL cutting benefits and laying off employees. Five years in and the death spiral continues.

Got to love it. Clearly the original poster is a moron who thinks he/she knows better how to run a company. If you knew better then why aren't you in senior management?

The word blocked is c-o-c-k-y as in conceited or arrogant. (Note to self, do not use the word c-o-c-k or d--k, like in d--k-h-e-a-d!)
