Devil without the Claws
It's always a good sign when the HR contact takes a week to respond to your "2 Me... This juice ain't worth da squeeezin" resignation email, and says they "really would like to" conduct your exit interview (politely declined... Always politely decline the "exit interview").
One of the more challenging things about working at a #Fortune50 #IT department was your manager coming by when you're absolutely *killing it* slinging code, to say:
"The mandatory fun meeting is in 5 minutes... You're coming, right?"
The few times (just before I quit), where I had privilege of saying: "Nah, fuck that shit", were pretty liberating.

Will GallegoA form of resilience we don't talk enough about: Building systems such that people want to stay at your company.
That means:
- Managing burnout before it becomes *burnout*
- Developing meaningful goals as part of their career growth
- Continually assessing compensation
- Understanding that efficiency is brittle. Not every day/week/month is going to be another personal best in productivity
yuletideWow this article is even more wild than the Stanford one https://hbr.org/2022/12/what-companies-still-get-wrong-about-layoffs
“The findings of two decades of profitability studies are equivocal: The majority of firms that conduct layoffs do not see improved profitability”
“Far from cutting-edge, these layoffs mark a revival of long-discredited corporate strategies. If the trend continues, history suggests these tech leaders will leave their companies severely crippled, at best.”
What Companies Still Get Wrong About Layoffs
Research has long shown that layoffs have a detrimental effect on individuals and on corporate performance. The short-term cost savings provided by a layoff are often overshadowed by bad publicity, loss of knowledge, weakened engagement, higher voluntary turnover, and lower innovation — all of which hurt profits in the long run. To make intelligent and humane staffing decisions in the current economic turmoil, leaders must understand what’s different about today’s larger social landscape. The authors also share strategies for a smarter approach to workforce change.

None of these companies care about cost cutting, they saw an opportunity to suppress wages without any criticism and they took it. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/01/facebook-parent-meta-announces-40-billion-stock-buyback.html
