I'm not sure how they plan on keeping talented people with options in the area after this round of layoffs. As if the HO wasn't depressing enough by itself - now add low moral/fear/angst x5. Anyone with legit skills other big firms want would be foolish to not start looking.
This! So much this! Everybody I've talked to since this whole things started said they are updating their resumes and looking for other positions. Literally everybody. Does Walmart really think it can treat their workers like this, have it continue to hang over everybody's head, and expect no repercussions? I'm guaranteeing there'll be a mass exodus of best people very soon.
