How can the management announce it expects to see record sales this year a day after cutting more people? Talk about being tone-deaf. This creates a really dangerous precedent as well. If they're willing to cut people at a time when business is going so well, that means that we can never feel safe again. Cuts will be happening regardless of results. If there was job security here at one point, now we know it's gone for good.

It makes no sense. Myself and several other people I know worked from home more often BEFORE the pandemic. Now when the topic comes up it seems taboo to even ask about going back to that plan instead of the "official more flexible" plan. It was more like 2-3x per month, not per week. These arrangements were very common for lots of people.
Probably because people want WFH as a permanent option---- clearly it works and is sustainable
Word on the management street is that the my voice scores took a nose dive. Which probably explains why we have heard next to nothing about them.
Which is worse though? Them being silent and nothing changing? Or them acknowledging the low scores and feeding us reasons why our rankings are wrong?
Yes! And where’s the middle finger emoji? That would be a macro-aggression! But that would be refreshingly HONEST! God forbid a negative emotion or reaction isn’t dolled up, and brushed off and packaged, in a highbrow retort, like you have an MBA!
Their depth of denial an inability to really understand what makes for a happy employee, see my voice results.
How could they not see it coming?
@Upvoting the EG - Dont worry, I got you.
Also, its kind of like those stupid news stories on my.metlife where there is ONLY a thumbs up button. "We only want feedback if its good"
It's a shame I can only upvote the EG comment once.
Maybe the EG can lay themselves off. That might actually accomplish something.
@lih+1ccjbhom I can confirm more layoffs in HR. I heard rumors of more in USB but not confirmed.
Remember the over used word on the calls - “efficiency”
Trimming the fat. To create efficiencies. It is going to be a stripped down company focused on two lines of business, group and investments. Can’t you see it coming?
The eventual technology improvements will also replace people. Long over due. IMO it’s been a fat and lazy relic for 50 years.
There has been no true job security in years and years? Did more cuts happen yesterday? Where?
