As if leadership didn't learn from FY17, they are repeating their playbook in FY18 which will certainly include mass layoffs by March.
Step 1: begin hiring like crazy
Step 2: Lie about reasons C-level leaves the company
Step 3: put out press releases about hiring 1,000 people
Step 4: Lower your sales goals
Step 5: miss your lowered sales goals
Step 6: infighting
Step 7: lie to the board
So far, identical. Watch out... the Lay Off 10% step is coming.
