If the true plan is to get 2/3rds of the affected workers to get other jobs in the company, why aren't they stopping external hiring?...

Curious, any datapoints on how many of the 3000 impacted in 2023 were able to stay with the company under a new role?
@3ahc+1qLH60j6 I heard about this happening last time. I truly hope this happens for all the affected. As far as I know, we still don't know the plan come April right?...
What I could also mean is identify employees which are not needed in a team and ask them to find open positions in other teams withing a couple of months or else take the severance and leave.
This is what they did last year too.
“Reskilling” is online business school nitwit lingo that translates in every language to “d-mbing down”.
Can we just be honest about "reskilling". This will be entirely about taking T4 and T3 and "reskilling" them to be "T2's".
It will then be up to the individuals to decide if they want to take it or leave it.
It won’t be T3s getting cut. That re-skilling area.
I’ve heard that it’s middle management effected due to be the fact that many only have a handful of people within their teams.
The goal is to remove silos created by managers and merge many teams under 1 manager.
Because the open positions will be T1 & T2 and the layoffs will be T3 & T4. They can then claim to be offering positions and at the same time drive people out
In the YouTube interview to Renjen Punit he openly says he wants to greatly increase the numbers of employees in India, as he did in Deloitte where he managed to outsource 25% of workforce to India...so there you have the answer.
Do you actually think the plan is to get rid of 2/3 of the 8000 affected? The plan seems to be to not look irresponsible by canning too many, while instead getting a much higher number than 8000 to voluntarily leave.
From what I’ve heard — which frankly is just hearsay, I have no special insight into the trainwreck that is our “leadership” — the end goal is to not hire any new NA or EU people, and only open hiring to India and other areas with a low cost of labor. It’s part of the whole lift n’ shift scheme I think.
2/3rds also includes voluntary separation + early retirement.
And how many will be reskilled i.e. forcefully moves to new teams, that depends on how many ppl will opt for voluntary and early retirement. So we have to wait here.
