We are asked to provide a two week notice when we quit the firm, but the firm doesn’t provide at least a two week notice and ruin our kids by firing us right before Christmas with no notice. Word to the C-Suite: Adhere to the WARN rules. Provide a 60-90 advance notice so we all can plan. Show us the strategic plan. Why hide it. Be transparent with us. Layoffs and restructuring are probably coming again. You’ll know by Sept 1. Give us notice. No more sneak attacks. Show some compassion and empathy. Better yet, do early retirement buys outs. Get the deadwood out that way. The humane way. Many are not productive and are not meeting goals. Let them go and save money that way but do it humanely and transparently. No sneak attacks and layoffs. It hurts morale and it hurts employees. It harms the company to do it the Christmas grinch way.

Hi TF, Pot…meet Kettle.
@1bk
I see what you did there. So clever ... for a racist.
How could you say that Favors has done nothing for morale?? She served us all ice cream with a smile! Granted, she only served chocolate, but damn nice of her!
“Officers” (though that title no longer exists) are required to provide a 4 week notice according to the employee manual. It’s been that way for 25 years. C Conway (no relation to M Conway) left the same day he resigned. I find that very interesting.
Employee morale started degrading around 2018/2019 when the financials started to seem off and shortly later when people were being promoted into positions they had no qualifications for other than inappropriate relationships with those who made final decisions. And then came the DEI death…..
@cr the downfall of the internal structure of the company and with it, the serious decay of employee morale began precisely with the onboarding of Tara Favors. She’s an empty suit. So much time an effort spent on DEI initiatives and NOTHING to address the demoralizing and decaying work atmosphere. She initiated a meaningless and destructive “realignment” of titles which did nothing but cause hurt to many hard working co-workers. The new review process is so complicated and complex that you need to watch several 2 hour webinars just to make heads or tails of it- and for no reason. She’s in charge of HR and everyone is miserable. She’s got PLENTY to do with the downfall of MoA.
@cr She has a seat at the table and weighs in on all HR decisions. I highly doubt she just sits back and executes on what she is told. Don’t fool yourself because she had you over her house one time and posted it for all of LinkedIn to see.
@c9 Favors is just following orders. Leave her out of the discussion please.
When a company provides severance pay, they don't need to give you any notice. You're essentioally getting paid through your severance period, in which you're free to find another job and tecnically collect two paychecks. I agree that firing hundreds of loyal employees right before christmas is a digusting thing to do, but Rich and Favors- or anyone else on the executive level don't give a rat's a@@ about the folks that work here. This ain't Tom Moran's company anymore.
