'Morale is at an all-time low': Ex-Googler writes scathing latter slamming layoffs and 'eroded' culture
(www.businessinsider.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yep, layoffs tend to hurt culture and trust.
Some companies seem to thrive on regular culls in the name of operational efficiencies. All that happens is talent leaves the organisation and then those left behind struggle because expertise has gone.
It erodes good will and good will is something you can't win back.
By the time things look like they are normalising, in comes another cull!
They become quiet quitters. Barely putting any effort in and doing the bare minimum.
Folks are not going to bail out company decisions to cull by working extra harder.
They tidy CV and look for next opportunity.
Layoffs while at the same time handing the CEO $200 million for a single year.
Yep, that will definitely help employee morale.
