Topics regarding layoffs at Westinghouse

Tone deaf leadership

Let's see how much good talent quits due to the big wigs thinking people are more effective in the office. Forced office work is a thing of the past and management is blind as a bat having employees report to the office

Vaccine layoff

Big surprise, they're pushing a possibly unconstitutional executive action to mandate jabs in the arm by December. No word on how they'll safeguard that personal medical information, and how they'll compensate for side effects of the experimental... — read more

Writing on the wall

With diversity officers, inclusion councils, and thought management roles, it is clear the focus has shifted to pandering to social movements. The change has been subtle at the company so far but gaining speed in the past year. This might not be... — read more

HR Layoffs

A handful of layoffs in HR. No management... of course. I thought private equity was supposed to be ruthless; it doesn't seem much has changed since the acquisition. Still the same leadership mentality... belly up to the BAR, guys.

I highly doubt anything will change

They spread the layoffs out to avoid any kind of media attention. Good luck with the new CEO. Hopefully he can correct things, but I highly doubt anything will change. When it comes time to reduce headcount, performance doesn’t matter to HR and that... — read more

Administrative aides were let go today. 22 of them. Document control was slashed today. More coming before end of July (two days from now). Why isn't local news on this? You'd think they would be on this?

More layoffs coming march 30 2018

Looks like a small 25% reduction to shop floor in one location with a handful of salary. Who knows what will happen once Brookfield signs on the dotted line in September. If you have vacation use it.
