Thread regarding Western Digital Corp. layoffs

12 years, more managers than ever, half of the workers gone

Been working here for 12 years

Back in the John coyne era, the management hierarchy counting my self to coyne is 6 layers.

Post merger, after countless layoffs, the hierarchy is now 12 layers.

We have more managers than ever, yet less workers than ever.

These layoffs has been turned into power grabbing self pomoting oppotunities for the high ups.

Going from good to gone. The crossfit culture is spewing toxic waste with every management excercise. All good ideas are being punished. Only the power hungry, opportunistic leaders are surviving. Layoffs in March going to be again a random,thoughtless excercise. Cost cutting done right, can lead to better outcomes.
