[QUOTE="hey1you, post: 686509, member: 27295"] They were primarily let go based on their results from last year's Marketing Competency Assessment. Last year, based on recommendations from McKinsey consulting, everyone in marketing was ranked by their manager on several core areas of marketing skills. Yes, some of the people that got laid off were not good employees. But, many of them seem to have gotten low scores on that assessment because they were not liked by their manager or because they had recently been asked to move into Marketing. Some were even PROMOTED recently! Then, BOOM, sorry, you don't have the skills we need, we'll NDA you your stuff. Something don't smell right about this. One observation was that there was a MUCH higher proportion of employees laid off that had minority / double-minority status, relative to the proportion of minority people at UPS. Many women and african-americans. Could some subconscious level of implicit racism/not liking people that are different, by their managers, have played a role? I hope not. :-( PS I've heard from a senior manager at corp. that other corp. departments should expect cuts. Some rumor-based guesses: Shared Services, HR, Automotive, Sales Training. [/QUOTE]
