Just a heads up, performance management is the way they’re doing unofficial layoffs. I see it happening in my department with unattainable numbers not supported by the current data, but just being told to do more. Nobody is hitting numbers (even top performers) & they’re performance managing the bottom 20%. It’s pretty awful that people are getting performance managed out so they won’t get any severance or unemployment. I assume they don’t want to do another round of official layoffs so that the stock price doesn’t continue to nosedive.

HR is falling apart. Another round of layoffs hit the department this week, and it’s clear that things are continuing to unravel. The new Head of HR and VP of Operations, Emily, have done more harm than good. Emily lacks HR experience, and unfortunately, it shows. Meanwhile, Tomya brings an outdated, rigid HR approach that doesn't align with what was once a forward-thinking, employee-focused culture.
When HR, the foundation of trust and stability, starts to erode, it’s a sign to pay attention. Leadership will try to downplay it with polished communication and reassurances, but the reality is: the culture is shifting, and not for the better.
It no longer feels like a safe or stable place to be....not for anyone regardless of your title and tenure. RUN!!
