WF management, when you lay people off, would it be possible to at least have someone, anyone, anywhere in the world, be responsible for the work of those laid off?
At least I can attempt to train someone on a job that I really do not know how to do since it’s an entirely different team! But I will do train so I can then actually do my job.
But that would be asking for too much, right?
Every other Tuesday I wonder what operational process will next get mired in this quicksand.
This is a huge problem. Upper management underestimates the roles and responsibilities of these people they target for layoff. There are gaps and everyone is left wondering is is responsible going forward. The managers are not in the weeds and fail to recognize these gaps.
@1tuz+1rYC3BBN anyone who overheard that needs to file via the Ethics Line. I think you can do it from Teamworks from home and do it anonymously, because let's face it, if you don't remain anonymous, they'll make your life even more miserable. But, if bombarded with ethics submissions, it won't look good and may overwhelm HR and/or certain leaders in a way that would make many of us chuckle.
Management doesn't decide, the execs do, managers are expected to 'just get it done, do more with less' in the aftermath and chaos.
At least in a Operations capacity, training is moot or a dated concept. We hire anyone with a heartbeat who can learn on the fly. Every existing process is up for debate, only the flavor of the day delivered by the whims of management matter. All gray areas/questions are fielded by a micro-manager.
An individual no longer needs to harbor the responsibility of achieving skills in advance.
First time occurred back in December. The manager who laid this person off, ignored my emails for 2 months.
And yes, I am referring those trying to replace people to old, outdated exhibits, procedures, etc.
All part of the plan to alienate the rest of us so we give up and move on.
All to pay out as few severance packages as they can. Then they can say “We only needed 1/2 of the $ 1 billion we put in reserves’
But between the lines “What other things can we do to make our people even more miserable
So we can do this through attrition instead?”
This 1 million times I’m going through this he-l since February
They would rather have the new I&P hires use 5yr old procedures that most of the tasks are irrelevant. The people in I&P can figure it out and lose $$$ while trying…
