The few really good people who are still here are now leaving on their own because they don't see Crown as a good place to work or grow your career anymore. If the goal of layoffs and everything else that happened was attrition, I don't think those in charge realized who would be leaving en masse. The talent is walking away and there's nothing they can do to stop it. This is going to cost us a lot in the long run.

There may not be a "long run"
I wish it was a PM. Most of them are as worthless as beach front property in AZ. It was someone who's been keeping end of life network components working for an entire market.
What is the obsession with the shock when someone leaves? People leave jobs all the time. Guess what the business continues and within a month they forget about you.
It was probably some silly project manager that we can do without. God knows we have an over supply of PMs.
Who? Initials/ position? No name.
We recently lost a very valuable teammate. Their resignation went all the way up to the RVP and still were unable to keep them. Shows the desire of good talent to get the off this sinking ship.
Don’t worry, there will no longer be the need for the cheap vs talent debate because AI is quickly coming and a lot of jobs will be gone. The writing is on the wall with AI having already been started with some positions/departments.
"Cheap" and "talent" usually don't go together. That said, people are easily replaced. All Crown needs to run is a warm body. We can't get much worse than where we are today.
There was a time when I was so proud to work at Crown. Sadly, now it's a bit embarrassing.
That was the goal. Take the painful hit then replace with young, much cheaper talent.
