I agree as based on information.
I think everyone who has a clue are looking to jump ship
Many are looking.
CNS, the choices of low brow and dumb leadership make it apparent.
Give up on this company even if it pulls through it is not work working for
While it's a valid question it's the wrong question. The correct question is what are you doing to seize control of your career. Follett management has proven they'll hurt you and they can't be trusted. What are you going to do to take back your career. Your question approaches blaming the victim, too. "What were you wearing?", "are you sure you didn't encourage the attacker?". The only villain here is Follett. The victim isn't wrong because they were abused. Encourage the positive action without blaming the victim for past actions. Follett chooses to do the hurting. The employee chooses to go to work.
The environment totally changed.
A company once known for the wonderful way they treated their employees should have chosen a different way to handle the layoffs last year. They should have been honest with us. That's what we were used to. That's why we came to love and cherish this company. It all came crashing down. There are many of us now that don't care anymore and that's not a good thing.
We are looking and waiting to find the right opportunity. I am older so I need to make sure my next job move is a solid one. And of course there were supposed to be additional layoffs in November so the severance would be nice. Follett is abusive to its employees. Just pay attention in meetings and you will hear the back stabbing and criticism. New leadership tears down the employees and processes to make themselves look better. Do you want to know what they tell the board? Employees at Follett are weak and if we didn't step in and take action......
Why would you ever stay at a place where you feel you are abused and betrayed?
Betrayal wasn't a follett value. Betrayal isn't a virtue. Follett has betrayed its employees.
Wrong. A company doesn't have to be abusive in order to be competitive.
Welcome to work in the competitive world
Yes it does. However, it isn't doing things that thousands of other companies aren't doing, too. What's more insidious is, in the past, the company encouraged its employees to fall in love with their jobs, their campuses, and their colleagues. These past couple of years Follett has turned on these very employees. From safety to peril, the follett employee's emotional, professional world has been turned upside down in ways other companies' employees haven't.
Sucks ass!
Yes. Yes it does
