Management cutting staff beyond the bare bones. I get that it's good to cut out the fat and non productive employees but the RIFs are letting go of good people and the non-value added employees are still around. The water cooler talk is that the new CEO is priming the company to be sold and old actions to date support this notion.
Many competent, qualified, and loyal employees have either left or been left go via a RIF. Many of the middle management I have worked with are pretty much incompetent and have no idea of how to do their job or manage the people reporting to them. Most of the time, they are looking out for themselves and only got to their positions based on who they knew. That's probably the saddest part of all this...The work bees (L7) remaining are being led by people who CAN'T lead...
The others mgmt folks just seem to go with the flow and stay quite. They either have little weight to make a positive change, stand up for the PRINCIPLE, or just no spines to do so. If you come across a great manager, consider them a gem...There is very few left willing to put up with the company or the environment.
The Senior and executive leadership only look at the numbers. I don't believe they have a good sense of the business impact caused by these drastic cuts. The outlook looks to be very poor for the next 18-24 months for both employees and QDX customers.
Lastly, employees are treated fairly poorly or downright unjust where it raises legal questions. Morale is super low...and with it, so is the productivity and collaboration across the business and I.T. teams.
