The Big Wave

Watch out October 31... HR Heads have received the list of employees to terminate on that date. More people managers, directors and VPs... 17% of L2 and L3 employees. Get a sick leave to strengthen your negotiation as you can not get out from the list if you are already in...

 

which regions?

 

Will this affect field sales?

 

it contains all the organization, the US, Int’l, HQ, francises, directors, VPs.... limited to the sales forces but it will be used as an opportunity to replace expensive ones...

 

I haven’t heard anything and it’s only a couple days away. I call BS.

 

??

 

If your name is not in the list, dont call it BS and be sorry for your colleagues... And you will be in the pot soon if you go with this sick mindset...

 

Oct 31st has come and gone. No one was laid off.

 

100 gone in Midwest

 

100? Not 99? Not 101?

You’re full of it.

 

There isn't a 100 people who work for Alcon in the Midwest. Sales reps will believe anything

 

We are moving to a functional organization, no more general managers, country organizations...the decision is the biggest mistake even taken in our history, Time will show this...

 

We still have hundreds of “managers” that don’t actually manage anything. Nothing has changed, and will continue as is.

 

Wait and see my friend !

 

We are history Place blows

 

How many were let go yesterday?

 

Haven't heard a number yet, but for sure all GMs are gone.

 

One paralegal for sure, but unsure on the others.

 

When is wave 2 of layoffs?
