Some of my friends@MetricStream asked (some assumed) about the reviews published here or in some review websites are from me. My answer to them was, if I write anything it won’t be as anonymous and for sure my name will be there so that people who read can look at the content written there not thinking about who wrote this. First time I’m writing review/comments, but I follow these reviews once in a while. After seeing “Why so bitter?” comments I thought of responding to the comments written here. This is Shaik ex-employee of MetricStream worked @CORD.
Whoever wrote the comments in thelayoff.com I’m inlined with them and I do truly support them (maybe individual names shouldn’t be there). I have a simple question to the guy who wrote: “Why so bitter?”
A doctor went to surgery by recruiting 100 nurses to help him in the surgery, finally, surgery is failed and the patient dies. This caused loss of hospital reputation, doctor terminated 100 nurses.
In this story what are nurses fault in the failure of surgery? They did what the doctor said. Why doctor recruit 100 nurses for one surgery where he need only 4-5 people support in surgery – isn’t it doctor fault? Is it fair to show 100 nurses is the reason for doctor failure?
MetricStream management is like the doctor in my example, they failed in the execution of projects, they failed in making revenue and to tried to escape from their failure by firing employees. Why should they over hire? Why should they send a bunch of people to the USA when the work can be done from India? Why should they release products (tough quality is not up to the mark) just for the sake of their quarterly/annual bonus? why over promise the customers?
What surprises me in 2017 layoff is there is not a single person at Director/VP/Management (and whoever the reasons for the above questions) were out – why? Isn’t the management responsible for MetricStream crisis? Management fired employees regardless of how people were performing in the job– who had support from management are escaped layoffs and who don’t they fired (I’m not judging 100%, but it happened to many employees in 2017 layoffs). When you execute layoffs you should see who executed projects successfully and who are not or see performance of individual – but management@MSI looked only who is my close buddy and who are yes masters to management. Ok after firing 800 employees what is the change they were shown, isn’t it same what it was in 2017 and now – what does it mean then?
The guy who wrote “Why so bitter?” is talking so supportively to the management. If anyone in management who executed 2017 layoffs honestly, ethically and human dignity then you have rights to ask anything. You are feeling bad for someone writing/insulting personally in the reviews anonymously but the people names listed in reviews are not that ethical too to worry and support them (assuming you are not from that list). I think this is not the right place to talk about ethics – let's not react.
