If by some miracle there is a recovery talent will leave at the first opportunity
it is a disgrace to people who had built the company what it was to be betrayed by inept management and HR.Hopefully they will get thier just deserts
UK HR (and management) are a disgrace
See the other threads about how they have been behaving
-caught laughing and joking with management straight outside the consultation meetings within sight of the poor person a few seconds ago told are losing their job. If you don't close the door everything you say can be heard and the partition sound proofing is not that good.
For those in redundancy
-Don't answer the phone and Lync switches to busy the moment you call, only if you switch to an external number they still answer cause they don't know who it is
-Don't answer emails
-Don't answer questions which eats into your consultation time
Early last year UK HR and management knew there were going to be redundancies, it was clear by some of the questions asked / odd comments made by the N+2 managers during the annual appraisals they were aware what was coming up . So early in the year at some management / HR level they decided which people they personally wanted to give the boot and ensured that they would not get bonuses (even if they had done a good job), then they used the bonus as the major component in the redundancy consultations to determine who got the sack. This meant they illegally (by UK law) personally selected who they wanted to get rid of and used the timeline to mask their methodology. This explains why some redundancies make sense as these people were not very good and whilst some redundancies were clearly hard working people you can match them back to being unpopular with the managers who made the decisions.
Not all HR are the same there some good people but the senior ones are so out of touch and why have they had not layoffs as the headcount every where else is reducing
I hope you received a farewell package!!!
When the original Country manager was in place, the company wasn't good to work for, it will excellent.
Not all HR members think they are the Bees Knees, only a certain few.
