Sales Artemis Overhiring

Who was brainiac in sales leadership that hired a ton of extra sales folks 4 months ago? Nobody even knows what they are supposed to be doing. Now a big layoff - what a way to run a business.

They actually passed on all the internal early-in-career GVS people, which makes no sense. Does anyone really know what the goal of all this was?

I don’t get what they’re trying to do, this will bite them in the a$$! That was stupid, and some managers abused that and hired their old gang back!

  1. Empire building
  2. A fresh supply of wide eyed employees to validate the needs of leadership
  3. Merely creating chaos by over hiring to pit employees against each other
