    A year ago they told people something different and people made decisions around that policy. Reversing course is evil and bad management.

      Sounds like the kind of shit you pull when you actively want attrition. There are times when a company needs to cut people and then layoffs happen. There are also times when the company is willing to say “we’re imposing policy X and if you can’t get with that, we’re happy to lose you.”

        Which is bad management because it stops you being in control of who leaves and who stays.

        In fact, you’re more likely to lose the people you actually want to keep when playing that game because they are the ones with the more employable skills, hence why they can leave in the first place.

        The people who stay are those that are stuck, and can’t get jobs somewhere else.

        Edit : speeling and gramarr.

          Yeah I think it’s a bad option for bad times. I’ve never been in the CEO chair through something like this so I wonder if there’s more to it somehow.
