And does the dead weight get cut during layoff season? Or does it affect people who are capable but won't take bullshit from management?

[–] squirmy_wormy@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I've seen both, sometimes middle management gets gutted and things are reorganized, sometimes it's more focused on the grunts.

You can only generalize it so far

I actually think we did a pretty good job - but our “layoff” was a mini one. Fractions of a percent. But of the people I knew, wasn’t worried about any of them. Felt bad for the people, they were all nice, but none of em were good at their jobs.

Quite a few sr directors and VPs were let go, or allowed to leave….

Broadly from what I saw, it was pretty much all the people that didn’t do anything useful.

In fact a lot of them were the guys who didn’t give anyone shit, because they didn’t do shit.
