"The two most common elements are Hydrogen and stupidity, and we're running out of Hydrogen." ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Radoslaw Skorupka <00000471ebeac275-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> Sent: Friday, June 2, 2023 2:13 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Laid-off 60-year-old Kyndryl exec says he was told IT giant wanted 'new blood' Well... I don't believe it. I don't believe someone who's laying off the exec was so naive. Note, I am NOT talking about actual reasons, I'm talking about the layoff meeting. People really know what to say and what not to say, what discussions not to start, etc. BTW: I had a class "How to lay off the employee". Really - I was a vice director of IT dept, so I had many stupid courses. However this one was quite factual. Two most important things: 1. Do it with the witness, preferably some HR person. 2. Do not say anything except planned. No discussion, no "what-if" scenarios, just communicate the fact. Avoidance of any politically incorrect statement is really obvious. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 02.06.2023 o 19:56, John McKown pisze: > If true, I hope the company gets bloodied in court.
