I know there must be people in the higher positions with morals and a conscience or am I the fool?!?!?

To All the Keyboard Warriors and Masters of Nastiness,”
First of all, let me extend my deepest gratitude for your unsolicited negativity. Truly, the way you’ve all come together to tear down someone who dared to ask a question speaks volumes—not about me, but about the state of humanity. Bravo.
Let me clarify something for those who seem confused about why I care about layoffs: I am a supervisor. That means I take pride in advocating for my staff, ensuring they have the tools, resources, and work-life balance to thrive in their roles. I’m not sitting at the top of the food chain making decisions, nor am I here pretending I have insider knowledge. My role is to lead with fairness and integrity, and despite what some of you might believe, I actually enjoy my job—gasp!—because it’s about people, not just paychecks.
Now, about the accusations that I’m somehow part of the problem because I work for the company: This argument is as nonsensical as criticizing someone for needing oxygen to breathe. We all work because we have bills to pay. Or did I miss the memo where society suddenly started handing out free rent and groceries? If so, please let me know, and I’ll gladly submit my application.
As for the tone of this forum, let’s address the real issue: the inexplicable comfort some of you have in being nasty and disrespectful. Is this your version of productive discourse? Is tearing down someone who is genuinely trying to gain information your idea of constructive feedback? The irony of complaining about a company’s lack of humanity while simultaneously embodying that same lack of humanity is not lost on me.
To those of you who thrive on rudeness, I’ll leave you with this: being bitter might feel good in the moment, but it rarely leads to solutions. If you want change, advocate for it constructively. If you want to rant, at least aim for wit instead of pettiness. Either way, remember that behind every post is a real person—whether you like them or not.
Best of luck to everyone navigating these uncertain times. I’ll continue doing what I do best: advocating for my team, even if upper management doesn’t include me in their decisions. My focus will remain on being a good leader, and if that bothers you, well…that’s a you problem.
Kind Regards,
Someone Who Refuses to Engage in Pettiness but Is Very Good at It When Necessary
Don't talk about morals, while you continue to work for the company that you despise for their business. Hypocrites
Go f u c k yourself.

Raises and RRP will be garbage until they've reduced headcount and offshored as much as they possibly can.
Until then all you will get is their "heart-felt expression of gratitude".
The top people that come here are the ones who say they get promoted on the spot or 6 times within 3 years because they work hard to gaslight you into trading your time and effort and spirit for the company to make it better while they reap all the regards with thier $$3-10 thousand dollar bonus while you struggle to buy food with the 21 cent raise they’ll give you in April.
Did the executives at Phillip Morris have any morals knowing they were selling products that were literally ki-ling people? Nope! The money was their driver, and that’s all they cared about. Healthcare insurance is the new Phillip Morris of our day. Don’t hold your breath for morals in this company. I have yet to meet one leader in this company that has a strong moral compass or conscience.
Too much morals trade offs tied in with stock grants and bonuses. The executives are too tied in with collusion and saving their own skin with NDAs. U will not see them post here as they think they are special and think they will make it to the end. Rest have wool blanket over their heads drinking cool aide that they are making heath work better. Reality is captial and opex cost centers rules the nest and you have to play the game no matter how wrong we design heath care around financial recovery, not heathy outcome.
When the justice dept was trying to stop the Change acquisition, in the emails they presented there was an email from leadership directing those in the process not to let their morals get in the way of what they were doing. So no they have none.
I would argue, with all due respect, you're a fool!
