Nice game and your post is spot on too.
It's no coincidence that layoffs generally occur shortly after DELL employee surveys are collected -It happens like this- employee reports truth, boss gets report, figures out who dinged their score, retaliates against employee, no one sticks their neck out to dig in deeper to the employee report in oder to resolve the problem or help them find other internal jobs vs. layoff.
The employee is laid off, the bully manager lives on, the employee struggles to feed their family and often can't find another job due to the long- tenure at Dell or EMC or depression in general from the process= Career is over.
Manager Bully power is amped up by layoff victory, targets next "victim" and the cycle continues.
