Thread regarding Bank of America layoffs

vbfw, that's exactly how the narrow management hierarchies are maintained! Constantly culling the herd for those "poor" performers is just a ploy to hide their own incompetence. It serves as the perfect distraction to highlight the weaknesses of others.

Metrics can be fudged, circumstances can be exaggerated, and skills can be berated just by altering a context or manipulating a key piece of information.

Professionalism is not welcome here! Which is why most of the people that do exhibit professionalism are the ones that are laid-off.

I s--- at my job

;-)

There are definitely incompetent managers. But I can't help but wonder how many people are just ignorant to the fact that they s--- at their job and blame "targeting" for their being released because they refuse to see the truth? I've seen as many in this second scenario as I have true targeting if not more. The amount of time worked at the bank does not necessarily equate to your being a quality employee , nor does ones opinion of oneself.

In some other coutries, the government controls the press and one knows who is in charge and where it's coming from.

Here in the US, the press tries to control the government where a bunch of wealthy individuals or companies are trying to control the government via their interests in mainstream media to push their personal agendas on everyone else.

Just avoid mainstream media - it's b---s--- and is simply the synthesis of a small bunch of prviliged know-it alls who think they know best.

We think most news providers are trolls when covering our new president. Freedom of speech is a b--ch.

This has been re-posted a dozen times. Propaganda, just to see the level of dissatisfaction. Trolls everywhere.

@Mq3GoN6-6qrj, there's not much of the original Merrill left these days, you must be referring to their replacements that were very successful in establishing their crony-ism from afar overseas there.

Global Finance. Transferred Merril L employees spread this behavior like a plague from the top down within.

I see this happening in Charlotte nc. it has been documented and HR is helping the game !! the org is rotten

Keep this posing alive each month for new bees to reconcile with. Very informative for everyone to remember where you are working

Calling this type of manager "skilled" is the real issue here. This type of manager usually has absolutely no skill at all and is usually totally if not completely incompetent. His or her only claim to fame is that they have some kind of power of someone and are exercising it - sometimes that looks good but doesn't really achieve anything. Fear gets respect, at least in the animal kingdom.

About sticking it to people, that's where the "thug" description comes in - totally unprofessional. Do that at home with your friends if you have any.

This is how I stick it.

Sounds way more complicated than when I stick it to some one!

Layoffs are one thing, lousy at the time but actively targeting people is a savage practice that HR should take seriously and have those involved on the next layoff list!

There should not be an active targeting of people. If managers need to make layoff numbers, pick the people, put them on your list and live with it. Setting people up and targetting them to satisfy one's conscience, if you even have one, is savage, uncivilized, and unprofessional.

It's not complicated at all - quite straightforward and brutal. Very unfair and totally unprofessional. People that do this kind of thing are no better than thugs on the street flexing their muscle. Quite embarrassing for any place that wants to gain and keep any kind of credibility.

Seems like a complicated way to stick it to someone

Under this plan, they cannot sustain experience therefore time to move headquarters and deplete the next labor pool. How dumb they are. Over one mgr who eventually be fired. Insane and no logic.

I have seen this for years, employees cannot be rehired based on one incompetent mgr. makes no sense, irrational thinking by bank
