Can we talk about this? Because I'm struggling to see how this is fair.

INC USUI team, has money for lavish dinners, unlimited upscale travel, "collecting points," cruise dinners, events... you name it. But somehow when it comes to their own TIS USUI counterparts? Layoffs.

Some people got told their roles "weren't sustainable." Weren't sustainable, but the boat outings were?
Make it make sense...........
If there's money for unlimited daily fine dining and over spend, there is money to keep people employed. Let's stop pretending this is about resources. It's about priorities. And right now, the people actually doing the work are not the priority.
You don't get to blow money left and right and then turn around and lay people off like it's a budget issue. That's not leadership. That's a failure of judgment, plain and simple. Shame on your leadership.
To everyone who got impacted, this is not on you. This says nothing about your worth or your work. You deserved so much better than this.

It’s easy to hide behind numbers. KPIs that look good on paper but don't actually reflect the reality of what's going on in the trenches. Too often, leadership leans on these metrics as a shield, allowing them to feel comfortable while the real work gets done by those on the ground.
But here’s the thing: When you consistently fail to show up with functioning processes, when you let your team flounder with outdated knowledge, you can’t keep blaming the ones at the bottom who are scrambling to make it work. The KPIs are a band-aid. They’re a crutch, not a solution.
The disconnect is real. The people at the top are too far removed from the daily grind to understand the struggle. And those at the bottom, the ones keeping things together with duct tape and sheer willpower, are expected to just keep pushing through.
It’s time for a reality check. If the metrics are misaligned and the systems are broken, it’s not the "little men" who need to be cleaned out. It’s the leadership. Leadership that isn’t in touch with reality, that doesn’t recognize when they’re out of their depth, and that refuses to take responsibility for the company’s actual performance.
When the people doing the heavy lifting are ignored or undervalued, you’re just setting everyone up to fail. KPIs should guide you to success, not allow you to point fingers while the real work gets buried under more red tape.
Leadership: Your KPIs are broken. Fix the process or risk losing the people who are still trying to make it work.

Ford’s 4-day in-office mandate isn’t just about presence—it’s about control.

It signals a shift toward a Panopticon Culture, where employees feel constantly watched. Trust is replaced with surveillance.

This is how you create an Authoritarian Workplace, not a collaborative one.

Rethink control. Rebuild trust.
Employees will spy, lie against each other.
