Performance firings without a PIP

[anonymous]

I found out the actual number from another employee. Thanks for nothing.

You’re quite welcome, HR troll.

JnJ conducted a significant layoff targeting employees who received poor ratings for two consecutive years. There was no Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) or prior warning given; affected individuals were simply notified via a phone call that their employment was terminated.

Some of these individuals were rockstars, boasting over 20 years of experience at JnJ. Occasionally, unforeseen circumstances can arise within a territory, causing numbers to plummet before an eventual turnaround. However, this was not taken into consideration during the termination process.

This targeted reps, managers, and SCG for numerous franchises.

The aftermath of this layoff has left remaining employees feeling uneasy and uncertain about their own job security. Many are questioning if they will be next on the chopping block, especially if they have received a poor rating in the past.

This sudden mass layoff has also damaged employee morale and loyalty towards the company. Some employees feel betrayed by JnJ. They put in years of hard work and dedication, only to be let go without warning.

Overall, this mass layoff has caused significant ripple effects within JnJ and beyond. It serves as a reminder that no employee should hold any loyalty to JnJ.

Great post.

Of course, no loyalty.

So, don't work too hard for these companies.

Always look for better opportunities. They are out there, if you network. Key is finding a company with good management and a positive company culture. Also, the pay is competitive, and there are tons of opportunities for promotion.

JNJ is an entry level job, for the most part. Use their name to move into better jobs with better companies.

Those JNJ people with upper level jobs are just an odd group for the most part. I would say a majority of them got their jobs through BS reasons, and not because they are dynamic leaders, etc.

dammitt. I can't stand your stupid company. I remember applying, and then changed my mind because of all the corruption and BS with JNJ. I have a great resume, and I wanted to take an easy, local job. I keep ignoring the HR team, but they just insisted that I interview, via a video. I can't believe I fell for that.

Never again.

Never do a video for these scumbags.

I have not been motivated by a top level leader here since….forever.

And you're back here to report.

Late at night. On a holiday weekend.

Because that's completely normal for a company interviewee.

And not at all like an HR troll.

I was a candidate and got an offer right before the holiday weekend. So yeah I came here because I felt like something was off. I didn't like the dynamic I saw between the RD and manager, it reminded me of a mafia boss and his capo.

Welcome to Janssen!

If you have 2 low-performing years in a row you should be seeking alternate opportunities and if not, they will decide for you.
