I found out I was already near the top of the pay range for my level, and that probably sealed my fate. There are plenty of people making less, so keeping them was the easier call. Just putting that out there for anyone wondering how they decided who to let go.

The roles eliminated were mandated from above your L9s. They had little to no say in it. It was HR looking at org charts and picking expensive people.
Found out??? Your pay range has always been published and accessible. I guess you must have been paid well if you never cared to look for that information.
@c1 they are not required to fire good employees. You really don’t know a lot about this topic.
They have to throw out some of the good with the not so good so they don’t get sued. The ideal for the company would be to ax anyone over 40 near the top of the payroll - but that would be bad optics and open them to lawsuits.
Within my team it looked like someone looked at the org chart and just picked what didn’t look like it made sense. Keep your Workday profile up to date…
@ae 1 and 3 maybe. My team did have one poor performer that should have been let go a long time ago cut, but we also had an extremely strong team member also cut. It seems like a random number generator was used.
@ae We had several high performing, well engaged team members cut. Performance had nothing to do with it. We lost people who you really couldn't ask more of.
The 3 Ps…
- Pay
- Performance
- Personal engagement (i.e. not embracing the culture, not drinking the Kool Aid, not doing your GTKYs and building your personal brand)
