We are rapidly grinding our way to end of Q2. It's mid-year, month-end, at all the rest. Managers are sitting on names of people that will be let go by the close of June. They are quiet. They ignore the elephant in the room? They play this off with a BAU attitude pushing through the month.
How can they not mention anything? We get on team call where management offers nothing in terms of team and location strategy updates. I feel bad for them. They have been put into the horrible position of saving their own skins at the expense of decent team members. How can we remote team members plan our futures while management leads us along withholding critical information about our jobs? This is immoral and unethical. I don't begrudge the bank for making strategic location and efficiency cuts. I DO hold them in contempt for how they are going about it.
Remote team members are being gaslit. We are treated unethically and immorally. Is a 30 day notice before a layoff really that much to ask!? Some will say it mitigates risk. Look! If someone is given 30 days advanced notice to their layoff and decide to sabotage the bank they are FIRED on the spot. They forfeit any and all severance. They face possible penalties. No package. YOU'RE FIRED! There is your risk mitigation. Do they really think that low of us!?
No. There is something more sinister going on here.
