Advice for "100% anti-employee" Jassy and S-Team

“Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.”

“Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.”

“The responsibility of a company is to serve the customer. The responsibility of leadership is to serve their people so that their people may better serve the customer. If leaders fail to serve their people first, both customer and company will suffer.”

“Employee engagement is an investment we make for the privilege of staying in business.”

“Employees who believe that management is concerned about them as a whole person — not just an employee — are more productive, more satisfied, more fulfilled. Satisfied employees mean satisfied customers, which leads to profitability.”

“The way your employees feel is the way your customers will feel. And if your employees don’t feel valued, neither will your customers.”

“Highly engaged employees make the customer experience. Disengaged employees break it.”

“Create caring and robust connections between every employee and their work, customers, leaders, managers, and the organization to achieve results that matter to everyone in this sentence.”

“Employees engage with employers and brands when they’re treated as humans worthy of respect.”

“Your number one customers are your people. Look after employees first and then customers last.”

... And take a few management courses.

From a business point of view, do they "feel" they have too many employees, or do they actually lack the tools to scale resource efficiency and forecast more accurately to the likes of Walmart and Apple? If bleeding so many employees (27000+), chopping salaries of the ones that remain, forcing them into a sweatshop with draconian rules, what do you think is going to be left? Hint: more than 27000+ employees will depart.

It all drives to singularity. If there is only one customer, one investor, one employee. Does that account as a business?

Your number one customers are your people. Look after employees first and then customers last.

That's why United Airlines literally kicked a doctor off the plane years ago just so they could seat an employee who wasn't even working on the flight.

Well said but from business point of view if the management feels they have too many employees, it does make business sense to reduce the count.
