Layoff Wave: Favoritism at Play

Sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Given the current circumstances, there's little value in discussing any pros. It would only add to the stress.

Cons

Be prepared for uncertainty. Particularly in our European offices, especially the Irish locations, there's a strong likelihood of being sent home. Unless, of course, you've recently come from Pulsecure, in which case you're seemingly immune. It's disheartening to witness the apparent favoritism toward the CEO's buddies. It's a hard truth.
