Why do they tell her it's for performance reasons when they could just say it's a layoff due to market conditions? That seems to be the crux of the issue here.
The rest of their communication was horrid as well.
The rest of their communication was horrid as well.
The CEO commenting elsewhere implied they have a stack rank system where they let go of lower performers regularly.
It's just absurd that the person would get zero feedback about their low rank performance before being summarily let go.
It seems like that's changed over the past few years. Whenever I see a company doing layoffs now, their stock price always gets a nice boost.
There are also other reasons, but if at all possible a company would want to make any termination for performance if it has any case at all for it.
