Thread regarding Suffolk Construction layoffs

The reason Suffolk hasn't been on here for years is essentially that everyone is a sheep and has been brainwashed into thinking anything is normal. In reality, the current attrition rate of 20%, 8% of which was involuntary, has been the lowest thus far. People from the most junior to senior ranks disappear with zero minutes' or a few days' notice, even when some are billed as rising stars and/or need more notice to transition as H1B employees. Strange that even though hiring managers like to ask paranoid questions like if you are here for the long haul, they certainly give no heed to employees' concerns if Suffolk is there to run the distance for them. Also, probation periods that were confirmed not to even be official probation periods end do not even run their full course before a sudden termination. The reason for the firing sprees might result from equally impulsive hiring where business needs, budgets and political wiggle-room are not carefully calculated before hiring. I've seen plans to hire an ops analyst one day, and the very next week, they'd no longer be budgeting for them. This occurs extremely frequently especially in the new-ish Data Science/Big Data team.
