Home Office

I would be shocked to Find out the managers know. In my past experience they learn their fate first, and within an hour those kept start making calls to their teams or if they have been let go HR calls the team. If you have been through this, I don’t think anyone can argue with this.

 

This is exactly how it’s been when I’ve gone through it before. RBMs are the next to last ones to know.

 

BS we know

 

OK big boy (or girl). Put up or shut up. Exactly what’s going to happen and exactly when is it going to happen. You say you know. Prove it. Put up or shut up.

 

What he/she said!

 

I’d argue you’re a fool
Soon to be without a job
Bye bye past experience

This entire thread is making me laugh out loud, then shake my head, then laugh again. Every post is more childish that the prior ones. I eagerly await its further descent into the puerile depths, which I think we'll recognize by the appearance of such time-tested greats as, "Stick and stones may break my bones...," and, "I know you are, but what am I?"
I used to be able to guess pretty well which threads were field people and which were H.O. folk, but now the whole thing is just descending into the blog equivalent of a slap-fight that's turning into a true bore. Nobody seems to have any real intel. lately.

 

Ok. Have it your way.

Let me guess. You’re safe. Right??

 

What if the drag out this implosion past thanksgiving and don’t do it this week?? They need to do favors and cut the cord

 

I would look at it this way: there are likely going to be cuts but none of use seem to know for certain. Each week you’re still employed is another week you can be paid to job hunt. It takes a while to find a job and even longer for the start date. Why not get out ahead of it and start looking? Your 8 weeks of severance starts the week you’re let go, why are you in such a rush??

 

Agreed w above poster, but it sets up like this for many I’m sure: if you make the cuts you can be more selective over the next year finding a job, but if your cut and are interviewing (like most are) you may want to take a “lesser” job to bridge the gap to something better. Hence people want to just know.

 

RBM’s told today to stay home
tomorrow for a confr call

 

How do you know this is true?

 

I can confirm. Heard the same from multiple sources. Reps will be waiting by the phone Thursday.

 

That true...we hear Thursday. Buckle your seatbelts

 

So much for all who thought RBM's already knew.

 

RBMs know their own status for a fact. Tomorrow it is confirmed who stays/goes on their teams although they pretty much already know.

 

OK, if RBM’s know their own fate already why haven’t any of them left because if reps are downsized for sure managers are gonna be downsized
Less reps=less managers
You’re going to tell me a manager has known for two weeks that he’s going to be let go but he continues to work and act like he’s not going to be ??
Makes no sense

 

Must stay and play along to receive bonus and severance.

 

HO CUTS WERE THIS MORNING
