@j3 absolutely not true
@OP its your boss. They submit the "candidates". Names will be submitted by 11/5.
@ak No company is ever going to publish anything like that list, if there was even any inkling that something like that existed there would be lawsuits - those are all illegal qualifications to base anything on.
@ah Since most people are rated as performing it puts everyone in the same bucket.
@ak i can see the more i make, the older i am etc. time with the company, if i make 100k and have been here for 10 years, vs 100k at 2 years, why does this matter.
Last layoff at my previous company, was really bad. I was kept but many of my co workers were gone.
I had a lot of tenure and basically was the person that kept the lights on. The person that got let go had less tenure and didn't have a critical role.
On another team, they let someone go that did have a critical role. Ironically all the warnings were found on this website months before the layoffs happened because there were a lot of info leaks.
BLUF: bottom line upfront.
Quantifying: at 80% to be an employee's cost to the corporation and the remaining 20% to be subjective.
1- time with the company
2- salary
3- age
4- medical expenses ( yes ! )
Those are part of the playbook for ATT, TMO and it is also for VZW. You are scored, and ranked based on that.
It has nothing to do with your expertise, or not, nor how dedicated one is.
Personally I think its a 3rd party company and everyone starts on a list. They use a calculation or formula age, tenure, salary, performance. Then based on that calculation you get off the list or stay. My personal theory but I dont know. The last layoff I was on some really great workers ended up on the list, but they were here 18-25 years. So money could've been yhe factor?
@OP managers give up "candidates". A terrible part of the job but they ask for volunteers and if there are none names get submitted.
@OP the ones creating the lists are the ones that need to go the most.
Your boss
Long ago in a group far far gone, Exec Directors gave Directors number to cut that they then gave to Managers and either the manager picked the names or had a round house ranking session with the supervisors to try and do it right. Rarely ever worked out well….. there were always sh-t sandwiches and everyone took a bite. Now a days…… I’d imagine it as a monkey throwing a dart
@a2 so my boss yes, u out... Gives it to his/her boss to agree on... If they agree, they send to hr
@OP Typically, if it’s not based on performance, your boss gives a list of projects, your skip level prioritizes them and makes the recommendation for HR to sign off on.
