The ELT is not thinking this through. They are letting people go without a second thought and some of them will be very difficult to replace. These people have the experience and rare skill sets that take quite some time to develop. I'm talking years, not months as some might hope. We're already starting to feel their loss and it's only going to get worse. It makes no sense but that's where we are.

LOL...guess they're trying to make a point.
Blasting the same wrong take on work from home into a bunch of articles, huh?
The problem is simple.They offer less salary than other companies.They want everyone to return to the office.(Pushing softly but pushing).So no work from home or very little.Other companies are offering this.Tech is stuck in the past as are the internal systems and processes change from one quarter to the next. Targets are a pulled from thin air.Can you blame staff leaving
I am one of those who walked away. Fire all managers, directors and vps. Work environment is toxic, management inadequate, directors a joke. I feel sorry for the time i wasted there.
Seeing this all over in marketing. Marketing ELT thinks we can just pay agencies to fix everything or throw work at grad school interns to stay afloat. Meanwhile top talent walks away due to lack of career prospects, mediocre people who stay because they can’t find a job elsewhere get promoted to director and above, and the company ends up spending 100x what would have made the talented person stay to try to solve basic problems (that then go unsolved because agencies don’t know what they’re doing and get paid more for being inefficient). It’s a huge mess right now.
DELL is a company from the PAST. It is not a company from the PRESENT and even less so from the FUTURE. The best thing to do is to let the underutilized people go to find much better place where they will feel needed and happy.
