    Awe, cute little bears just waiting to rip your throat out and take some of your monopoly money !

Our new COO has finally left his office and made his move.

Up until recently, he was a mystery man who spent all his time in his private office, refusing to meet with anyone.

Last week he called about ten long-term managers and supervisors to his office for a large meeting.

At the end of the meeting, he said each and every one of the managers were incompetent and had failed the company. He fired each of them. These now-fired managers were the backbone of the company, Long termers with advanced technical skills, a track record of success, and institutional knowledge of how things worked.

To everyone's shock, they were given no notice, warning, or severance pay. The COO told everyone who was terminated they were fired and, as a result, as per company policy, they would not receive any severance pay or unused vacation pay. At the end of the meeting security guards arrived and escorted everyone out of the meeting.

The talk around the office is who would do the work of the departed managers?

They were all in the middle of major projects, had meetings planned with staff and customers, and had unique institutional and technical knowledge that their staff did not have. Their staff does not know how to do their ex-manager jobs. Think of the emails that were sent to the now-fired managers from customers, clients, consultants, and staff waiting for a reply!

Have you ever seen anything like this before? It is outrageous!
