I keep reading about KPIs. Who exactly has been told by their manager?
We've been told to use the AI chat and it's being monitored, but no target.
No one I know has been given a KPI or weekly target.
How do we know it's 25 per week?
I've only read it this forum, is it fake news?
people dont like using the sales chat cuz its slow, wrong half the time, and just makes more work instead of less... the data in it is kinda trash so the answers come out trash too... bosses keep pushing us to hit some random kpi even when we dont even need it that week... feels like were just trainning the thing to take our jobs one day and thats not cool...
With all the changes taking place at OpenText, when do you think there will be a layoff or exits of non performing sales reps.
Again layoffs. Sales people numbers going down. Ireland office kicked out lots of people. Crazy again.
It’s time for the lazy incompetent AE’s and the Service Sales Executive in the UK&I who have been hiding behind the promise of sales on large accounts to go.
They have been BANKING on being shielded by the sheer fact that they have ownership of the largest opportunities. No real strategy just sheer luck which they feel warrants them to be deemed the best. This has been enough to protect them. Historically these wins have been not because of them but merely because the clients had not other option but to renew.
We in the UK and EMEA are losing talented resources because of the incompetence of these people.
Time to take action now ELT (RP & MH) before it’s too late.
I’m astonished how the some of sales people in EMEA (specifically those incompetent ones in UK&I) are unscathed by the latest round of rifs.
More than likely they are being protected by incompetent geo leads a yet once again our company has lost many many good hardworking talented people through no fault of their own.
Let’s hope the penny finally drops with the leadership (RP and MH) and this is addressed as the next course of action. Get to the root of the problem, hold them accountable and if they can’t provide a degree of confidence and assurance of growth on key accounts then a penalty has to be paid through justified rifs.
By 2025, #Intel plans to #eliminate up to $10 billion in costs annually by restructuring its operations and #sales departments and focused on the development of domestic foundries.
Intel is in a bad situation right now. Since the $280 billion #CHIPSAct deal has been signed, Intel could not wiggle around by delaying the building of new fab in Ohio, which it broke ground on earlier this year, and has committed at least $20 billion to the project. In his #Reuters interview, #PatGelsinger did say that Intel’s people costs were a relatively small part of its overall spending, so the company is more focused on its factories and fabs as places to save money.
I still believe that Pat Gelsinger, as a renown #CEO, will save Intel from trouble this time. He knows that the biggest #cost #reduction should not come from its people cost. This is a little bit different with earlier announced that Intel layoffs are coming in Q4 as it cuts billions in spending. The factories and fabs overall operational cost should be the number one biggest cost. Since there is an oversupply of chip semiconductor after a huge shortage during the #covid19 pandemic, it is not wise to still ramp up and run the fab production as normal. There should be a swift adjustment to cut the production following the decrease on #chip #demand.
As far as I remember while still working at Intel, the company policy on people #wellness and #wellbeing is something that I really proud of. Intel put its people first. Intel has invested so very much on its employees. Intel has been awarded as the TOP 10 employers in Malaysia with its slogan "#aGreatPlaceToWork." That's why Intel will put #layoff plan as their last option to keep the business running.
I still believe that Intel could weather the storm this time around. With Pat Gelsinger, as a CEO, Intel's best year is yet to come. It certainly will come soon as long as Intel policy on its people do not change. Wishing Intel the very best of luck.
