Massive Layoffs Today

Pros

People that weren't in management are great.

Cons

- Executive team vision and strategy only based on the good old boy/girl network - Appearance of diversity of executive ranks, just that - Only older employees laid off. Not sure how they got away with this one. Excuse was that position are being eliminated, not performance. How is it that only older employees positions were eliminated? - Most expanded positions going to white males. Or younger white females.

Pros

Great company. Stock does really well. Love the people. Paid well.

Cons

Essilor of America is doing a large layoff this morning of only American employees. No French expats were terminated because Essilor is French owned. Most all of the layoffs are long term, upper level and older aged employees.
