Todays Townhall was a DISASTER

Quote












that was by far the worst town hall display I have experience in my 5 years at BMS. What a shameful performance. Gave us absolutely nothing, full of meaningless buzzwords. They do not care about our well-being and I totally believe they want people to quit voluntarily to avoid paying severance. Could not have been worse.

does any one feel that their plan is that they have no plan?
 












They did the same thing last year. As you said, the goal is to get employees to leave voluntarily vs. having to pay severance. Only scumbag organizations do this. BMS is one of them.
 






Sometimes leaving of your own volition is the best thing you can do. Staying in a toxic environment, waiting to be laid-off just so you can get severance is a tough place to be mentally.

Great place to be mentally. Dont give a shit, check every box, and then know you will get a going away gift.

You guys are clearly low level employees who have no idea how this works. If this was the strategy, the best people leave first and the rubbish get left behind because they find it harder to find outside opportunities. This is precisely what the company does not want. There are many reasons why layoffs take time and clarity can only be given once everything is fully clear at exec level. There are many ways to minimise the cost of layoffs, but this isn’t one of them.

You make the (false) assumption that BMS executives are rational and intelligent actors. Those of us who are "high level" know exactly what is being done and the harebrained leadership team behind it. This company is a sinking ship and the few remaining talented employees are frantically looking for an exit. No one with options wants to be part of this mess. We all see the writing on the wall and the garbage ELT has done nothing to change that.
 






I left voluntarily last year and it was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Had a year of doing amazing science, working with great leaders, and I have learned way more than I would have had I stayed. Yes, no severance, but I got a huge career boost and have so many more opportunities!!! Don’t stay just for the severance unless you want to retire anyway….
 






Too anxious to work. Same for all folks I work with. Not getting anything done. Just waiting for the guillotine to fall. Even the ones who stay and survived last rounds spend more than half their time worrying and looking for outside opportunities just in case.
