What got people on the list vs what saved them? There’s one person my team - haven’t seen them in the office. Another person in a different office within commuting distance but never goes in.. neither one was on the list. Each has other issues - unresponsive, argumentative, harassment - so yeah what got you on the list? Has to be more than no more Agile framework.

@gy I want to leave so bad but I won’t in spite of them because they think we will leave on our own volition and not have to pay severance or VBO. Everyone should stay despite 100% RTO. It’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to hang on just so they don’t save money on severance.
HR runs through an algorithm to choose everyone. Then validates that list doesn’t set them up for discrimination lawsuits.
All the managers I know this round and in 2024 were all handed a list of people that they would have to let go. No compromises. No discussion. This is your list.
I’ve seen this in other companies, as well. It’s the industry standard format now. We’ll never see another VBO. Those are too expensive. This way is MUCH cheaper!! ;)
For connect week compliance do they look at the number of hours in office ? If so how much is the threshold. I have heard 4 , 5, 6 hours ...which one is it ?
Your location and if you are colocated with the majority of your team, connect week attendance, role and pay grade. Not in any order but those were what I heard had the biggest play
Names of people with job titles and salaries and if they e violated connect week policies - sort by salaries descending. There's the list
It would make sense that ai or a consultant would pick. That takes away so much fatigue from those doing the slashing.
Why would they let the same managers who hired underperforms be the ones to decide who stays.
Side note - the people who were left may have had factors we don’t know about. Like maybe they were more expensive than another employee for some reason?
I wondered the same thing - is a consulting group picking the people because it makes no sense why certain people were picked when everyone else would have chosen a different person.
