Thread regarding Walgreens layoffs

Sycamore tricks continue

Great town hall, love the continued ask to do more without any mutual benefit.

  • No real numbers, just colors and words

  • No guarantees to top level performers for bonus or compensation

What would intelligent leadership look like?

Go into the successful locations, what is the common denominator?

STRONG MANAGEMENT that is incentivized to push a team through difficult times.

What is reality?

No incentive.

No reciprocal individual EBITDA benefit

Healthcare isn't office supplies, so DECREASING benefits and hours while INCREASING demands is a fools plan.

When this destructive self imposed Sycamore failure is complete, there will be business case studies added to college macroeconomics courses demonstrating how to NOT run a business.

Monthly bonus for hitting goals could be a good start for MGR, do you have zero motivational ideas Sycamore?

Just like buying out a partner that helped build the business.

Pay me to leave.

Voluntary severance.

Sycamore would love the expensive ones to electively leave based on emotion.

They won't be given that courtesy.

@ef some are leaving. But with your response why would you stay? Because it is a job? Is it all you can get....which I would say is why most do stay. What an environment to work I would think.. How embarrassing and sad. Some of you will play defensive...but facts are facts. What a terrible company to work for. For a paycheck? Why would anyone want to be a manager at Walgreen's?
