Every time a new C level executive onboard, most of the time, the very first thing they’d announce to the entire company has been layoffs in the team under them. 🥱

C-suite execs are just glorified professional managers (and differ from company founders who want to leave some sort of legacy). They’re recruited to take the heat for unpopular decisions (think “pain sponge”). They’re expected to show results quickly, which is why they clean house and bring on their own people — it’s the path of least resistance. They have a clear mandate and don’t expect to stay long. Not everyone can stomach getting their hands dirty, which is why there are so few of them and why they’re compensated so well. That’s really all there is to it.

Some of you haven’t seen Anchor Man, and it shows. The proper response to this would be “That doesn’t make sense.” Carry on!

People are the most expensive line item in the budget and getting rid of the old makes room for a new crew. Bonus incentives are usually tied to improving the bottom line, not so much about saving jobs.

Does anyone else feel that the more content someone puts in their LinkedIn headline, the more full of it they are? I say this as someone with a bunch of stuff lol but at least it’s all at one company and accurate.

I’m talking mostly about two kinds of people. 1. The influencer who is actually unemployed, but lists 25 BS things they do
2. The brand collector, who writes “ex-“ for every former company they worked at and school they went to. Maybe less full of it but still insufferable.
