Here come the layoffs

Were the managers let go also? I feel bad for anyone laid off but there were some real losers in that division. I heard some vac reps were also let go.

 

Probably a good decision to consolidate sone of the product line. However, the company handles these layoffs terribly.

 

conference calls tomorrow for core vac

 

How do you know? Also, what is it about? Core VAC layoffs?

 

Typical corporate SONG AND DANCE.

THERE WILL BE NO SALES FORCE REDUCTIONS!!

YOU'RE FIRED!

DID YOU HEAR THAT? EVERYBODY WILL HAVE A JOB DAMMIT! I SWEAR. DON'T WORRY, WE NEED MORE FEET ON THE STREET!

YOU'RE FIRED.

WAIT EVERYONE, DON'T LEAVE. WE REALIZED WE NEED MORE FEET ON THE STREET SO NO MORE SALES FORCE REDUCTIONS.

YOU'RE FIRED!

WAIT, SERIOUSLY. THIS TIME WE REALLY MEAN IT. WE REALLY CARE ABOUT RETENTION AND WANT YOU TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY HERE. PLEASE STAY!

 

Hahahahahahhaha. That was right on the money. What a joke this comapny has become.
It's embarrassing to say you work here. How are people staying, not to mention you make 120K on the high side here now.

 

seriously???? taking away $80 from car reimbursement from every employee?? who can even afford to drive their car? no company car, no gas card, and now reducing our allowance? do they really think we will be driving to our distinct accounts? come on corporate…GET A CLUE!!!!!! you need to pay employees if you want them to produce.

 

sounds like they want you to stay at home.

 

Don't forget the reduced bonus plan. They are making it impossible to stay here.

 

Watch what is going to happen between now and the end of the year. Many will be let go just before the end of 4Q

 

I can't fill the tank with what we get. Electronic selling is awesome.

 

Good business sense to let some go with the merger

 

Except some areas are spread so thin people can't get their work done.

 

Name one petson in the entire world worth their own salt that wants smaller territories or less responsibility. Those people should be fired as they are worthless

 

You're an idiot. How does wanting a smaller territory mean that you're worthless? This new structure will be impossible for reps because there will be no focus.

 

New structure?

 

Are we or are we not on a hiring freeze? Are people actually TRYING to get in here?

 

Get ready for some PIPs. My manager is a micro duesch but I can live with it. I just got interrogated on my territory performance. Doing everything that I used to do which was fine but now it's not! I have heard of many people being threatened by their DM's this is a first for me.

 

remind me again why we need DMs????
