Thread regarding iCIMS.com layoffs

Sarcastic Optimism

Assuming our product, customer service and corporate culture are still second to none, there is no cause for alarm. We are still the BEST.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true: COVID-19 caused layoffs, not full-year 2019 financial results or consecutive years' pervasive, incompetent C-suite decisions in Labs, H/R, Sales and Marketing.

With any luck, our new CEO will soon let the nepotism flow through him and fully replace our CTO, CPO and CMO with his siblings, cousins, nieces or nephews. That would be an improvement over the status quo.

Then we can all watch fired-up former C-suite execs receive bon voyage gift bags, which include Samsonite brand backpack, 24-karat electroplated-gold travel mug with "GTFO" engraving, a case of Turtle Wax, and a year supply of Rice-A-Roni.

All levity aside, layoffs were ruthlessly executed but that doesn't mean our new CEO isn't the best person for the job. He will improve profitability and get the ship heading in the right direction.

In the meantime, we can enjoy free Folgers Coffee, SunnyD and RC Cola with hull-perforated lifeboats.

It would be to management's advantage to keep everyone wfh until headcount reductions has been nearly optimized for sustainable profitability. It would be less disruptive and easier to maintain secrecy for cost-cutting initiatives like additional headcount reductions, closing expensive offices in NY or CA, and then consolidating workspaces and floors in BW.

Hopefully you provided correct answers to questions about your preference for working at home instead of BW.

Cults prefer on-premise followers who can display fanatic obedience to cult leaders and cronies over remote (dare I say cloud-based) followers.

If you prefer working from home over, don't be surprised upon getting woozy after consuming your next cup of ceremonial kool-aid.

When we do go back to Bell Works, if we go back considering they sent out that survey asking if we were liking working from home. IMO an excuse for them to keep some staff remote and consolidate floors in an effort to cut costs but say its what the people wanted! No matter how anyone answers...I bet we won't even get free Folgers.

What the Joker (played by HL) would say about working at iCIMS:
"...see their culture, their code (pun intended) is a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world (Vista) allows them to be. When the chips are down, these civilized people (some would say fascist cult), they'll eat each other."

How poorly layoffs were executed is unfortunately clearly indication of shortsighted management. More fumbles ahead
