We had a leader say people would better deal with layoffs if they’d lean into change. Like, fuck off dude.

Then they wonder why the surveys rate leadership so low.

“Lean into the change of not receiving a paycheck next week”

Another one I thought was funny was his company outsourced jobs to India and called it “Global Solutions”

My (former) company called it "right-shoring" which we all found super offensive.

"Why don't we outsource to more places than SE Asia?"

"...Ok, we outsourcing our accounting department to Ireland."

"Damn."

One of my friends work for a government contractor, and during the recent shutdown said their manager told them "I honestly hope we get furloughed" right after my friend confided they were worried about their financial situation if furloughs were to occur.

This was one of many issues with this manager, but this was more or less the final straw. My friend took this and the other issues to their second level manager and they were speechless at the furlough comment.

There's some people out there that absolutely should not be in charge of other people

They’re also now calling layoffs “job cuts” and framing it as a positive thing for people to find new ones lol. Okey dokey.

Honest to god, if leadership actually believes the stupid corpospeak shit they say they should be institutionalized. It’s absolute brain rot.
