Would there be any benefit to unionizing ?????

I’m confident work will be even more chaotic from now on. And that will not change any time soon. No way in he-l a bunch of incompetent managers will be able to sort things out, led by people who have no plan or vision beyond cutting costs. — read more 

I have not even heard from my new manager other than a Google chat that said, I would be reporting to them. We are not even in the same company. No direction. No clue what I do each day. I don't blame her. People are lost. Can't wait for the next... — read more 

Wonder how this meeting will go? How will he try to “make us feel better?” Blow sunshine up our a—?

Let them sort out the problem they created. Let offshore teams do the work. Never solve problems others created, never take on the responsibility for anything that doesn’t strictly fall within your usual scope of duties. They want less people on the... — read more 

I see they laid off some of the most talented people. Once it's time to rehire their replacements, they'll have to hire two or three to replace one. In the end, it'll end up being more expensive and less efficient instead of keeping the original... — read more 

The massive layoffs did not take into account the impact on the client. Due to indiscriminate elimination of positions there will be impact to the client. Are they more concerned about bottom line and not the service they provide to the client?... — read more 

I don't believe we're done with layoffs. I don't care what they're saying. I don't think they're above lying to us to make sure productivity does not drop just to yank the rug from under us once again. I've already started looking for a new job and... — read more 

I continue to be disappointed by large companies who complain "it's so hard to find good workers", "we can't seem to retain good talent", and "no one wants to work anymore", but continue to have regular rounds of layoffs where they let hardworking... — read more 

With the week from he-l behind us, how is everybody feeling? I'm still in shock, to be honest. I was not affected, but too many folks I know were. Knowing how good at their jobs they were just makes it clearer how small of a role merit played in... — read more 

There's bitterness and angst in posts on this site and in the reorg meeting this morning about why there was no notification, managers kept in the dark, no explanations of criteria for who got the axe. I'm not a manager or corporate officer or... — read more 

Completed a reorg mtg about 45 mins ago. They just went right into new org, strategy, putting in our best efforts, be bold, etc. and completely ignored the elephant in the room about low employee morale and layoffs. Almost like they were instructed... — read more 

This org chart is fu---d. People in charge of department they have 0 experience in. Why did they let go of people with 10+ years of experienced leaders?

I know this can be said for almost every experience with a corporate job, but I am now angry at myself that I’ve been dedicated, hard working and didn’t mind working overtime just to make sure work will be done properly. Admittedly, I did it first... — read more 

As someone who survived this round of layoffs and had my direct counterparts let go. Being the last-man standing with no one to cover in my stead is absolutely absurd. The more I hear, the less I want to know. I feel awful for those who were impacted... — read more 

The day after layoffs, a message went out to employees in the Philippines alerting of a mass hiring event for Back Office Analysts, Customer Service Representatives and Technical Support Representatives. They will keep just enough people in the US... — read more

How was Warn notice of 60 days not given???

It seems we are entering the reign of chaos.

Why would anyone stay at or join a company where top performers are laid off, not because of budge, or critical mistakes, or behavioral issues, but simply because some bureaucrat couldn't be bothered to find out their name or what they do?

Has anyone been reassigned today? I thought we were getting a new teams/leadership but it’s been silent. What’s going on?

I don't wish for your downfall. I don't wish for your economic demise. I just want you to know how despised you are, and especially the company you work for. We may smile when you greet us. We may act like we care (because we have to) but you and... — read more 

Too many competent and experienced people were let go. I also don’t trust either McKinsey or our mgmt to come up with reorganization which will result in improved performance without us working for three people. But we already know we are the least... — read more 

Considering how overworked we already were before the layoff, I don't think it's realistic to expect us to take over the work from those who were laid off. Unless their goal is to get more of us to quit due to burnout and save them from having to pay... — read more 

I heard from the Xenial CLT office that a new org-chart will be posted Thursday. Deff not looking forward to what kinda sh-t-show we're in for. I've heard that they're banking on attrition to happen, and if it doesn't then before GP25 is done there... — read more 

I hope the decision to bring in top executives from McKinsey, along with the GP 2025 initiative and the layoffs informed by their feedback, works out in the long run. Many experienced individuals who truly knew the system were let go, leaving those... — read more 

Please make sure you don’t sign anything unless you contact legal advice. This seems as a constructive dismissal under the employment act in Ontario.

When your only strategy is to buy other companies and not innovate. You run out of companies to buy and then executives sit in their suite at a falcons game and ask what next? Hmmm

North America employees are supposed to know their fate by EOD 8/26 8/27- Other countries will know tomorrow 8/27-8/29- role responsibility changes (still have a job but now you are in charge of x,y,z) 8/30- follow up communication - org... — read more 

India has been impacted for almost 70 people and most of them were below expectations performers and individual contributors no leaders has been impacted so far

In a vertical market company. None of our leadership knew who was getting laid off and when. Absolute miss. So many good and critical people let go.

I'd be happy to take a package and leave. I got a new manager six months ago and he is the definition of a bully. I've been looking for a new job anyhow, getting severance would have been amazing. I wish they first asked everybody to volunteer but I... — read more 

Did anyone get a meeting invite about reshuffling of their role or team? Any idea which group will this impact

Has this been confirmed? Pls post if you have any info on depts or how long it will last. It’s not a pleasant feeling not knowing what to expect.

Am I wrong, or does it seem like older employees were specifically targeted by this layoff? The people I know who were laid off are all over 40, some over 50. This might be a coincidence, but to be honest, I wouldn't put it past this management to... — read more 

It’s not very professional and fair to keep us in the dark in such a manner. We yet have no clue what the target numbers are nor for how long this will really last. Try to keep it together, be supportive of each other. I wish us all luck, and I hope... — read more 

Any UK / International layoffs confirmed yet? Or meetings been booked?
