Thread regarding Softchoice Corporation layoffs

Confirmed layoffs

Over 100 people were laid off yesterday. It was done in an awkward fashion where only a few employees that were laid off were on a corporate distribution memo. The rest were silently let go.

A common trend noticed by many were that those laid off had disagreements with the professional services director, Eric barkman who has single handily, changed the culture of the company into a contradiction of the corporate core values.

Many of the people laid off were long term employees who were promoted from within the last 5 - 10 years.

I used to recommend this place as a great place to work, however, steer clear. It's an incredibly toxic, fear mongering, company.

About 43, not 100, were laid off.

I was one of the silent layoffs. Came out of nowhere as I was top performing. Softchoice is all talk about Diversity, Equity & Inclusions. However, the opposite is true in practice. Toxic culture fostered by many in leadership such as the Services SVP Sean Denomey. Garbage company. Steer clear unless you want to be a treated as outsider.

They listed job openings while making layoffs. Very sad, typical corporate management

Didn't see this coming. There was no discussion until they announced the layoffs surprisingly. The department managers were tasked with announcing it silently to their team. I wonder if there will be more layoffs

Did not see it coming. People were laid off yesterday silently, and we only heard from management about it this afternoon.
