Investors need to do a review of company leadership and intervene - Senior Data Scientist Pearson Employee Review

regular lay offs / firing decisions handed down from multiple levels up the management chain. They don't appear to consult the division / management who actually know what the team needs are to determine if letting people go makes sense. Recently this has caused several extremely important projects to be shelved, possibly permanently, because of the institutional knowledge lost/removed from these rounds of layoffs. Frequently these occur after a team/person is moved to a new group, and the higher-ups decide that they need to shave off some of the workforce. It seems most likely to land on the new/lower people who lack seniority in the division. This happens even if the division actively objects and wants to keep these employees.
