Due to Covid & a new VP, everything is changing at my company & senior reps are being micromanaged like new hires. Seniors are quitting and being fired like nothing I’ve ever seen. Anyone else?

No, but this is an interesting management case study. Why do you think the new VP is micromanaging the team? Did they come from within the company or outside of the company?

She came from outside. In many ways she’s turning business practices upside down from how they were. I actually agree with the reasoning behind many changes but the delivery has been quick and responses to employees who aren’t quickly adapting have been harsh. I think the micromanagement is partly from fear due to revenue loss (covid) but others have said that its more that the new VP is waiting to prove herself powerful

If the changes are positive, and you are included in the feedback loop, it may be just what is needed. I’ve been moving at a rapid pace and since covid, we’ve accelerated innovation at an all time high to time change with market opportunity.

Also, if you and the team feel this way, voice your feelings with suggestions on improving communication or focus.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
