“Google managers have been instructed to identify 6% of staff, or 10,000 people, as bad performers.”


Code for anyone not identifying as being woke.

Let’s call BLM, AOC and the DOJ. Will firings be done according to equity policies to combat systemic racism?

What if, like Driving While Black, there are far more black people losing their jobs?

Whipping and firing people will continue until morale improves.

The low performers can be jobless from home.

“low performing”. Isn’t that most of their employees?

“Low performers” are always the best ones to boot in the ass.

They could easily accomplish RIFs by just sending all the green card holders back to India and China. There is absolutely no reason a single American citizen needs to be laid off.

tried to post this at the recent Twitter/John Solomon thread, but it is not allowing comments:

23 Nov: Tweet: ALX #BringThemBack
Raise your hand if you think @ElonMusk should make public all internal discussions about the decision to censor the @NYPost’s story on Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 Election in the interest of Transparency.

SCROLL DOWN:
reply ELON MUSK
This is necessary to restore public trust

That’s got to look great on a resume. It shouldn’t take even an HR person long to figure out:

—low performing
—overpaid (their next job will pay -significantly- less, and HR managers won’t hire them because they will probably looking for a new job on day one).

That place leaves ex-employees with the kiss of death.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that extra 4% over standard reductions came from people at the top end of the salary scale.

That said, I’m sure Google could do a Musk and fire a whole lot more without it affecting the quality of its product.

IIRC, my employer at the time had a corporate See You Next Tuesday CEO named Carly. One of her main contributions to the corporate world was to introduce “forced ranking” into the performance review process. Because of that six sigma distribution within the bell curve there would always be a 10% band of poor performers. Eliminate them. Redraw the curve and now the next 10% reduction is justified.

People get rich for coming up with stuff like that.

Yeah. That’s what I’m afraid of.
