Constant layoffs and redirection - Anonymous employee Cepheid Employee Review

Constant layoffs and outsourcing. Upper management has no idea what they are doing and underestimate employees’ work. Toxic productivity: Middle management had meetings to talk about meetings and manipulated numbers/data to show “improvements and potential savings,” while root causes were not addressed, so there was no true process improvement. Leadership was perfectly intact through layoffs, and the CEO posted on Linkedin celebrating record-breaking revenue, so it was hard to believe that layoffs were a “tough decision” for them.
