Is that racist? Black mark.
manipulated the rating system to fire hundreds of people without just cause to achieve the company’s financial goals.
I don’t care how liberal a company culture is, the “ratings system” that they all follow is whether a division or product is making money. If it isn’t the people who work there get fired. So this sounds like BS to me.
I have mixed emotions on this...
Some schadenfreude that liberal Yahoo is getting strung up by its own petards... but saddened that the free market is further getting eroded by how a company can hire and fire its employees.
It won’t be long before we’ll be using Chinese or Russian search engines. Who the hell wants to do business here anymore.
So I am guessing he has been unable to find a new job.
You could say red mark instead of black mark ... whoops, Indians offended ... green mark? the Irish; blue mark, the depressed, white mark, who could read it? yellow mark? I dare you.
Hey smart asses ~ if you had any idea what “the ranking system” being disputed actually is, you wouldn’t be so damn snarky.
Recently used at CSC worldwide, (and probably will continue ) this system demands that managers rank percentages so you have to rate people unequally, and unfairly despite performances or contributions.
Those rankings get chucked up the ladder and your people lose even more ranking based on the office game of “Playing Favorites”.
It’s like Russian Roulette with a guillotine, but management pulls the trigger while looking the victims right in the eye.
Side note: Yes, the same CSC that required 800 taxpayer billed hours to put a single checkbox on one page of an outdated website.
Sounds like the guy was a deadbeat...trotting off to college in the middle of his career.
