I really don't understand why this company works against itself. Why were the top performers cut? Is it that they are hoping for bigger attrition and think they will achieve that by cutting good employees and lowering morale?

It’s interesting that Clearlake has been listed at

This is just my perception of course, but this leadership really seems to have lost its direction. Does anyone here trust that they have a vision and concrete plan for the future of this company?

Does this mean that I can breathe easy and that I am safe, or is there a possibility that I could be notified in the coming days?
