I hate my company

[shadowwolf13]

For two and a half months now everybody has been on edge and under tremendous stress. Mgmt has been holding the sword over our heads as if we were Damocles all this time. They told us that some people were going to be let go because of new processes. First an entire team was to be let go except for a couple of people, then it was the whole team was to be keep except for a couple of people. Then the date was pushed back. Then they weren't sure. Then another center called us to see what we knew. Seems that they knew more than we did. So we compared notes and come up with some answers. It was mentioned to management(sometimes subtly and sometimes not) that we knew that it was going to be this Friday. They denied it all the way up to when they started letting people go. "NO, we're not letting people go, really we're not. Oh, you're being let go. Now, really, we are not letting anybody go." *primal scream of rage* So far we've lost 15 16 18 people because of all this crap. When will they wake up and realize that we are not puppets, not children, and above all ... not stupid. They kept the ones that brown-nosed the most and let go the ones that actually know what the hell they are doing. They laid off certified techs. They kept one that doesn't know how to correctly repair a unit to save himself. They sent another to another state to become qualified for a certain product. Never mind the fact that one of the guys that they let go was with the company longer, was paid less, and was already certified for that product.The only difference is that the good tech wasn't afraid to hold a unit because it wasn't repaired, he wanted to fix it right the first time. The other two would throw anything out the door just to get rid of it.

I'm so disillusioned. I feel so ill and dirty to have been forced to watch my friends, who are good techs, be walked out the door. You shouldn't fear for your job when you spy your manager coming your way. And I have a good relationship with my manager. I hope.
