Corp services culture = use and discard - Anonymous employee GIC Employee Review

1) There is a lot of blood changing going on, which, I understand. Organization renewal is inevitable, and at some point in our career, we will inevitably face redundancy and hence the need for retraining. What I don’t get, is how they can discard you just because they think you have outlived your importance. Yes, supposedly compassionate enough to have voluntary exit packages to send staff on their way out etc. But who gave you the right to discard people after they have clocked certain years? What happened to all the preaching about retraining, reskilling, tapping on older workers ( and mind you a lot of discarded staff have not even hit 45!) 2) The culture has evolved to a state where sucking up to bosses, playing to their agendas, and putting on a full theatre production ( mind you song and dance is no longer good enough) is what gets you rewarded. There was a time where they recognized you need good hardworking people to get things done, and they reward you for it. Now, they reward you for being best actor and actress. This is rife in corp svcs dept. Was already like that previously somehow can get even worse. And brownnosers are still empowered to lead the BEST teams.
