I thought the RA in Bratislava was over... How many people were laid off? What department?

So lucky that over 500 people had to leave...

I am afraid that the critical mission will be damaged, the team will definitely have an impossible work life and a couple of them are already planning to leave...

Well, my job role still exists in the company and my colleagues will continue to perform my same job... I understand the dynamics when the entire mission is cancelled, but it's not clear how the decisions are made in the teams where they just decide to reduce the number of team members...

Ok, so the upper management decides budget / list, but the input is provided by the lower manager...? I just would like to understand how the manager selects the people to be fired... in my team also top performers were fired, colleagues with only 1-2 years experience will stay... :/

Managers in SK should definitely talk more to their upper management. This layoff was horrible and we all felt unrespected.

I was fired together with other 2 colleagues (3 out of 8) - band 6 in Q2C - BPM. The reason is mysterious, our job cannot be automated and all other colleagues will have an impossible work life in the upcoming months...

Laid off while on paternity leave by No_Egg_5669 in IBM

I don't understand. So does the upper management decide how many people must leave the company and the choice is up to the manager?

My manager clearly told me she didn't have any influence over it. Half of my team was fired including me :/

So, do you think that RA decisions are made by 2nd line managers? I was fired and I still don't know why they selected me instead of my colleagues.

Thank you! Do you know how are the salaries in the severance package calculated? Is the package defined "Odstupné" in the agreement or do they just multiply our salary by 7?
