There will be layoffs. With the budget going in, the functions were asked to cut. The easiest thing for the unimaginative, poorly skilled vps to do is cut people. And so they will in the next while. And they will target those who have taken leave, are returning from a mat leave (not that there are many women left), and those who don’t look and think exactly like they want them to. Are you too smart? Are you not good at a-- kissing? Are you not part of the old boys club?
Don’t blame AlPo. He’s had little to work with on the CLT. Until he has replacements in the queue, he can’t get rid of the CLT and the operations DR’s. That whole group needs to be replaced. Their ineptedness at execution is astounding. With little to no experience outside of CVE, they are the product of their own incompetence. The sooner they clean out that level, the better.
But don’t be sad. Better to get off a sinking ship while they can still severance you than when there’s no money left.
