Medical genomics was, is and will always be a joke. Success Theatre x 1000.

No one to blame but the “leaders” there.

R&D Bioninformatics / DRAGEN SW team was affected, at least 1 confirmed.

Which seems like a great decision, that team was definitely understaffed and underutilized aggressive amounts of sarcasm

There are no layoffs planned. Certainly not right now. If anything, Jacob will clean house starting from the top and moving to the VP’s.

Bard is Google's AI (Google's ChatGPT). Seems like someone is using Bard for their responses, which begs the question, if there are layoffs, maybe we don't need this HR person? Especially when they can't even do the copy-and-paste part correctly.

I also don't get why the response would state "While we strive to offer competitive compensation and benefits packages, we acknowledge that we are not a good payer in the market." Seems like an odd comment and one that a company wouldn't make.

Who is Bard? Write this in a professional way?? What is this?

Was that an email that was sent out to someone's group? I wonder if HR will change the date of the planned layoffs now.

Hi Aimee Hoyt disciple on this thread. The promotion process was shrouded in secrecy and very few people who were eligible received them. The Vivek Ramaswamy wanna be CFO also announced that VPs were entitled to receive a big fat bonus because they aren’t peasants.

@@gvht+1pQjOqhy, why are you posting incorrect information. ? Many folks are on their holidays break. The company recently gave many promotions to boost employee morale and drive long term growth.

Benefits have been already cut to avoid this situation.

Yes, they are happening after the break. Maybe they didn't want to ruin anyone's holidays. Time to start looking for a new job.

The VP bonus was approved and confirmed by the CEO as well. It was mentioned these folks carry the weight of the business and are expected to do “big” things. They were rewarded apparently. The dollar amount is unknown.
