Bosses are just hatchetmen for the investors. My company just arbitrarily slashed around 200 people because it shows a strong message to the investors that “we mean business “
CEO once said in a conference that he fires 5% of the staff at random every year to "keep people on their toes and working hard" not even perfomance based just pure random
That’s just motivation to work even less hard. If firings are random and decoupled from performance evaluation, then doing the bare minimum carries just as good odds of not getting fired as going above and beyond. Christ CEOs are dumb motherfuckers.
