They will refuse to give severance. Will rather just PIP for some lies. Watch out!

Imagine this scenario. You get PIP’d, then work hard to pass it. Bring up your ranking the next 3 years. Think you’re in a good spot. Then in year 5 some manager says, “we need to cut headcount, find anyone that’s been PIP’d once in the last 4 years and we’ll knock them out this year with a PIP.” All the hard work wasted. Just another lever for the company to pull when they want to accelerate the headcount reductions.

Bumping this up for visibility. Found at @b2+1knpqre16.

With management now openly changing the role of SEs on the field and expecting them to perform tasks and duties that are outside their typical role and certainly not inline with their original job description, it is now more clear then ever what the intentions are. The expectation to line up 6-9 customer meetings every week between existing customers would mean that you would be meeting with each customer every month. Most customers dont want to meet every month... specially if they are not buying anything new. Management knows this already and is using this to decide who they can put on PIP and ultimately "fire" for poor performance without having to pay them a package. Lets face it, we are in revenue decline because of mismanagement and now the employees are expected to pay the price. Many of which have been with the company for a long time and have contributed a lot over the years and now are being given the short end of the stick. If the headcount is in need of adjustment, why not at least do the noble thing and pay people their package? I am willing to bet that if they asked employees to volunteer for a layoff and still get a package the majority of employees would take the offer. This would show the reality of how low the employee morel is and how poor the company is being managed. Perhaps, this would make it difficult for KKR to sell Omnissa to a potential buyer once it became evident how things are running in here.
