I see no improvements under MM yet. Wipro is still a disaster 3 years in and no one has the balls to say a mistake was made and roll back. Local Wipro staff are a joke at Euro sites. Please God they offer me any decent package and I’d be delighted to get out.
No severance? How is a laid off employee expected to survive while supporting a family and paying down mortgage?
If you think this layoff might effect you personally, I'd start searching for a job now. No sense falling behind and having to do without, be proactive. Good luck!
As of Friday, 13-Sep word from AP6 is that MM has met most of the $50MM task by cancelling open positions (ex. ~26 in LMs area, etc), 'retiring' a couple of VPs (like Ms. KK) and a few band 21-24 directors & sr directors, and postponing band promotions. Come Jan 2020, the cancellations, cuts, retirements will start anew.
Word is MM was admonished by Miles for doing a disappointing IT update to the board in Q1 2019, droning on about Tech Debt when the board was looking for a compelling IT Vision to drive Abbott forward. MM is proving his bite is far more boring than his bite.
OMG, JV is such a dolt! Where in heck is he coming from? His tech cred is weak for a VP, and he has trouble articulating even relatively simple concepts like time stamping (two major incidents on his watch already, causing product loss at AN & ADC from discarded batches due to batch records with incorrect time-stamps - ouch)
... or the board doesn't know shit about Enterprise IT. If I never change the oil in my car, never change the tires, should I be surprised when eventually a rod shoots through the hood? If I hire someone to change the brakes and he doesn't know the difference between a socket wrench and pair of pliers, should I be surprised when my car won't stop? The "board" hasn't funded key base infrastructure and hired a MSP that is on the verge of being criminally incompetent. Compelling Vision? It's a miracle the lights are still on.
