[20:10] IsambardPrince "According to eyewitness accounts, the layoff notification process was extremely rushed. An employee in Shanghai revealed that their department was abruptly summoned for an online meeting. The meeting was originally scheduled to last only 15 minutes, but the vice president chairing it was 13 minutes late. In the remaining two minutes, the vice president simply played a pre-recorded announcement before ending the meeting. [20:10] IsambardPrince An internal employee who has worked at Lenovo for more than three years confirmed to reporters that the Shanghai ISG department has indeed been completely laid off, with the layoffs mainly concentrated in the China region, affecting about 200 people in the Shanghai branch. HR began intensive talks with employees on the morning of December 1st. [20:10] IsambardPrince The wording used by senior management in their communications also fueled employee discontent. The company's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) described the restructuring, which included layoffs, as a "special award." This attempt to frame layoffs as a "reward" was criticized by employees as "arrogant" and "hurtful."" [20:10] IsambardPrince ---- [20:11] IsambardPrince Definitely believable.

[20:12] IsambardPrince Back then it was still a guy who took you into a room and told you thank you for working there, this isn't what anyone wanted, and there was a generous severance package. [20:12] IsambardPrince They tried to soften it and make sure there wasn't an incident. [20:13] IsambardPrince Now you just get a text, there's no severance, and they fight your unenemployment by saying you were put on a PIP when they clearly intended mass layoffs and someone was going to get hit with it. [20:13] IsambardPrince They try to claim that whenever they're laying off thousands in one go that they were all given a chance to improve and they were let go for minor infractions and poor performance. [20:14] IsambardPrince What they do is they put you on a PIP and either make it unclear as to how you can improve enough to avoid it, or impossible.
