@b8 its all anonymous here - no need to be coy
High performers have plenty of escape energy. Slackers enjoy watching them fly away.
@OP someone else on here mentioned something similar, but slackers won’t ask for the same pay raises/promotions as the over achievers. If someone is slacking the company might assume that they’ll pick up the slack for less and be to scared to ask for more after seeing what happened to an over achiever.
@b8 no clue ... plenty of BUs .. structural, fluids, em, optics, n&et .... which one are you referring to?
@c7
Maybe top performers’ levels are high so it’s easy to be targeted
@be Slackers lack the ability and ambition to replace a manager, so they have better chances to survive.

I think if the process is carried out by an algorithm from HR, it for sure ends up like this.
I’m honestly baffled by who stayed and who got cut.
Several high performers on my team - people who consistently delivered, mentored others, and went above and beyond - were let go. Meanwhile, the folks who’ve been coasting for months (or years) somehow survived unscathed?!?
If you're talking about Ansys, I know which BU you're hinting at.
Y'know, it is sad, but if it helps any, it surprises us too.
It's sad. But for those of us who are efficient and productive, its going to be a bit of a shock when the work won't get done.
