I was kind of with him at the start. He did make some good points, but he handled the situation poorly. He lost me when he blamed the firing of 25 people on the misdeeds of one person and more so when the expansion office was to be staffed with a lot of orphans ...
I think he was just pissed that the rumors precluded him from handling the layoffs the exact way he wanted to, so he had a tantrum. So, the company is not laying anyone off, but they just fired 25 people from the department that the orphans are supposedly going to be working in. Many people in the department were promoted to project manager, a position which they had to reapply for, and I bet that a lot of the new applicants wouldn't have made it. It sounds like he was was trying as much as possible to do the layoffs without it being his fault. I agree with you. If he had just come out and said times are tough and I can't afford to keep everyone (whether true or not), then people would have generally understood and it would have blown over. I love how self-centered asses always think that people can't see through the crafted lies. It's like alcoholics thinking they are fooling everyone about their lifestyle because most people are too polite to say anything.
