This is just the beginning

Yup 275 people booted last week. Thats just the start. There is many many many people NOT coming back from furlough. Manheim specifically only 25-30% of the people on furlough will be coming back. Im sure it's the same at most BU. maybe 3-4,000 of the 12,500 furloughed will come back, and many many people employed right now will be going away also. The leadership is SCUM, and are excellent story tellers and liars. They'll feed you any BS you want to hear until "surprise, you're gone", no one is safe, except "senior leaders" and I put in quotes because these are anything but leaders. They're liars, politicians, and all have their favorites. Dealers telling us we should be embarrassed how you're treating your employees. Anyone find it odd that the furlough period ends the day before they'll re-open the Atlanta campus to in person work? Odd huh? Literally sitting with no communication, no idea what's going on while they decide the fait of 1,000s of people who haven't been being paid anyway, just to THINK youre returning. When in the interim they collect their government bonuses and incentives to "keep people on payroll, and not reduce head count". They're SCUM.

For a company that preaches they care about the people, I wish they would accept the fact that they might not make profits this year to their high expectations instead of getting rid of people. Or maybe cut pay of executives and high bonus bracket earners instead of individual contributors who work damn hard for just enough to live.

I’m sorry for everyone that will be impacted. Hopefully you dipshits can stop posting #coxlife propaganda.

Its true you do have to play politics in some departments. If you know what you are doing but are not friends with the director or senior director then you will probably be on the chopping block. because you are a threat to his or her position because of your knowledge. They did cut some managers in the layoffs but they did not always keep the one with more skill they kept the "people person" appointees. Figure out who the core leadership team is in your department because you will see that the people they are not friends with but are better will be let go.

KAR did a huge layoff Last week. Some auctions lost 1/2 their staff. All business units had cuts. It’s coming to Manheim too.

looks like there were be come consolidating of offices. most office job openings are in texas or georgia.

Manheim was on its way to becoming a mostly digital format like most other industries. the automotive industry is behind with adopting online only sales and delivery but they were all going to have to move to it. and covid accelerated that. Inperson jobs were going to be lost in large numbers gradually. Yes leadership is not genuine and expressed concern to cover themselves from lawsuits by making sure they were making "efforts" to cut spend before cutting people unexpectedly . many managers are not experts but are good employees who are good enough to do admin work of managing employees but are not enough of a threat and expert to the people they report to to move up to a senior leadership and executive level and take their jobs. everyone is out there to protect and secure their jobs and some probably have the power to give their "expert" opinion on who to keep and who to cut. if youre really good at what you do and managers know it then you might do HAVE TO play office politics to get ahead or stay.
