Thread regarding EchoStar Communications Corp. layoffs

George and Gaske should not let another round of engineering layoffs happen

With George retiring, and him PROMISING the engineering department that “BUDGET IS LOCKED FOR 2026…I have spoken to Paul Gaske and there will be no future layoffs in the coming months”, THEY SHOULD stick to their word…

George AND Paul should do everything in their power to not let engineering layoffs happen in these first 2 quarters…….George has to protect his reputation in this company and industry…..if he allows layoffs, Paul Gaske would be looked down by everyone at the company by lying to George if there is another round of layoffs…… Employees are not d-mb…..we DO NOT like being lied to……
This will tarnish George’s legacy in everyone’s mind in the WHOLE INDUSTRY if there is another round of layoffs in this quarter……what a horrible way to retire with everyone hating you…. Paul & George do better…. Do NOT hold town halls to lie to us…..

They laid off engineers who are best technically, but soft, don’t involve in politics and not belong to groups. They laid off best engineers who grew the company and helped managers to succeed. But the same manger kicked off people to whom they owe.

If you think they would tell you the truth, including a guarantee regarding layoffs, you're sadly mistaken.

george isnt the only one who was told this - basically every senior leader has told their orgs that they shouldnt worry about more layoffs. so everyone would get egg on their face simultaneously, isnt that fun?

Ask dish's engineering team how many months there were between the 'I can finally tell you to stop worrying about layoffs, the board has signed off on the budget and our headcount is actually going to increase' town hall & and the 2025 layoffs. It's frustrating, but you cannot assume leadership statements about layoffs actually correspond to reality. If you think your job might be at risk, plan as if you were losing it, no matter what you hear.
