It's really frustrating how layoffs always seem to target dedicated employees while overpaid management remains untouched. It's a pattern that's not easy to ignore and it's incredibly unfair. It's disheartening to see hardworking individuals sacrificed at the altar of the cost-cutting gods while management seems to escape consequences again and again. This cycle needs to be broken, it's just not right.

This org is way too top heavy.
The only people that were saved on this round were drew, sarah, and their click. Everyone else was in the chopping block didn’t matter the title. I know from supervisors, all the way to vp’s that were cut. The real numbers won’t be out until 01/2025, since the cuts will continue until 12/2024.
So tired of hearing this. I know of at LEAST 5 VPs and 4 Sr Directors that were shown the door. The Sr VPs and RVPs left earlier this year when they “decided to retire”. The sh*t flew high on this one as well.
I personally know of a director and a staff VP who got it; your narrative is disingenuous.
Sorry but that simply isn't true. There are 8-12 individual contributors for every manager, 4-5 managers for every director, several directors for every senior director, several sr directors for every vp... 85% of the total workforce isn't in management so when the cuts come most will be non-managers.
What is also the case is that while you see large scale cuts in personnel at the individual contributor level, management cuts always follow.
