Tell your supervisor ahead of ranking that you think you would take the PIL if you are NSIed. VPs know we are lean and instructing subordinates to encourage folks to take the PIP and it can be passed - the yes men won’t tell Dallas we can’t support a 8% reaping on top of all the resignations. Your supervisor can’t do anything now. Would love to see a whole Division stand up for itself and let management know that this mandate has consequences.
I get that the 45+ crowd has too much to loose, but if enough people stand together, management can’t say they haven’t been put on notice. If deeper cuts were needed, it should have been done in the layoff.
