Notifications coming this week. About 100 people

100 people is nothing to the bottom line. I feel for those hundred however. But this is too much resources into laying of just 100 people. No explanation and worrying required. Just do it.
Corey is a Stankey puppet. Nuff said!
Back on on 1/24 we received the all clear from Paradise (who reports to Anthony). Because we received that notice I assumed all cuts under Anthony were complete. I assume they all would occur at the same time. That is why I was so surprised to hear about the cut of 100 (I assume Friday) this week. Also concerning is how much time was spent discussing the surplus and the impact going forward when in fact for the most part the big cuts were over. The fact is we only lost just over 2k employees to date I. 2023. Something is not right with the message.
I know there will always be cuts but with so much talk about it going back to Sep and the focus on the first of the year I was left with a lot of uncertainty after the Anthony town hall.
1% is a percentage of the budget not an actual employee count as explained by an AM and we were given an actual dollar amount
"Did I hear him say only 1% of the affected work groups would be surpluses. and if that is 100 people, does that mean there was 10,000 people in the affected work groups. That does not sound right to me."
Fairly new employee here at 6 years. I was hired in a group of about 12. I guess a couple have left the company on their own. A few of us continue casual contact with people we were hired with. A few of the group are still in the role they were originally hired for but no longer do the work they were originally hired to do. This repeats year over year and the company evaluates and determines they are bloated and need to reduce headcount. Too often the selectees are those doing the actual work they were hired to do but those appointed by an AM are somehow retained. We end up with fewer people performing core tasks. In an effort to reduce the bloating, the retain those that are a part of the bloating. Rinse and repeat every year. An accurate review of headcount should require evaluating if personnel are actually contrubuting in the role for which they were hired. We watch this insane process repeat itself but no one in leadership seems to be able to identify the root cause of the bloating. They are limited to chasing the problem instead of getting ahead of the problem.
“ Paying for contractors is a he-l of a lot cheaper than paying for a full-time employee with benefits and possibly pension...”
No (non-exempt) employee hired since 2017 has a pension. Contractor companies bill at about $120/hr/contractor for management type contractors. Idk about you, but I don’t make close to that. I have known quite a few directors retire and come back as contractors while collecting a pension. Definitely double dipping. Typically only time they bring those back is when they are doing the work of the VP/AVP or they have connections. Most do F all when it comes to actual work that I’m aware of, probably just make power points. I’m not mad at them, it’s great if you can get it.

"...Doesn’t the company as a whole check if the contractor was a previous employee and why are we laying off before 1st getting rid of all contractors and non-payroll workers?"

They come back and "double dip". It's as good for non bargained as it is for previous "Union Dregs". See how AT&T works?

Didn’t pay attention honestly. I was multitasking.
How can there be layoffs when company is filled with ex employees working as contractors? Some were previously surplused for performance & now they are back with another group.

Not to mention he stated more to come this year and that they will constantly be re-evaluating. Hard to work when you are constantly being chased by the swinging Axe.
These mo--ns call town hall meetings and want us to be setting our 2023 goals after being told layoffs are coming. Nobody knows who will get the axe and yet they put up their big powerpoint presentations talking about our 2023 plans and the importance of 'culture'. Well sirs, the culture you have is one of all employees worried sick about losing their jobs and not really giving a sh-- about your rah rah BS
I sleep very well at night. I have a big bonus coming my way if I pull this off.
How does Corey sleep at night?
Ut oh, here we go! Corey will show no mercy.
He was promised a big bonus if he meets or exceeds layoff metrics.
