We already had a culture of “every employee for himself” thanks to stack-ranking (based on dubious criteria) and other shenanigans.
Adding the constant threat of layoffs isn’t going to make people more collaborative and more willing to share information. You have to laugh at the ineptitude of whoever came up with this strategy! It’s like shooting yourself in the foot because it was hurting.
@em I was only trying to point out that making employees fearful would make them less collaborative and less likely to share information especially that the stack-ranking at Verizon has the authenticity and truthfulness of a WWE wrestling match. Managers decide who’s going to win first then fabricate data to back that up. HR is none the wiser and couldn’t care less.
It’s not just the “South Asian Mafia” so let’s keep race and ethnicity out of this discussion.
@OP you are stack ranked at VZW according to nationality. The South Asian Mafia will always rank their members above everyone else.
