☆ PIPs do more harm than good. In my 30-year HR career, here's the best alternative I've seen.

Read previewOver the past three decades, I've witnessed various approaches to performance-improvement plans (PIPs) as an HR executive across five different industries and three countries. Once the PIP process begins, this fracture in trust is seldom repaired. AdvertisementA better approach involves choiceFrom 1998 to 2004, I was an HR executive at Cisco Systems, where I encountered a novel approach to the traditional PIP process. Prior to my arrival, Cisco had recognized that something was broken in the PIP process. Looking at the data and listening to employees, the HR team developed a new approach that involved choice.

☆ Elon Musk continues to foster chaos at Twitter. It's a terrible playbook for leaders following an acquisition.
  + stars: | 2022-12-19 | by ( Shana Lebowitz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Since buying Twitter, Elon Musk has conducted mass layoffs and reportedly ordered 84-hour workweeks. Musk's reign at Twitter, which began when he took ownership of the platform in late October, has been chaotic. Most Twitter employees would be able to get another job relatively easily. "If you're technical talent, you're still going to be in demand if you're good," said Steve Cadigan, who runs Cadigan Talent Ventures and previously worked on mergers and acquisitions at Cisco. Even though the self-dubbed chief twit's path isn't clear to observers, Cadigan said Musk typically knows what he's doing.
☆ Tech workers who just lost their jobs are prime targets for recruiters right now. Here's how to stand out and get the job you really want.

Layoffs are sweeping tech, leaving thousands of people at the likes of Twitter and Meta out of work. If you've lost a job, here's how to attract recruiters who can place you in roles you want. If you've recently been let go — and even if you haven't — you might already be fielding messages from recruiters. But it helps to know how to attract the attention of recruiters who can place you in the positions you really want. The more time you spend thinking about what kind of role you'd want next, the easier it will be to direct any recruiters who get in touch.
☆ Elon Musk's demands to make Twitter workers put in 'long hours at high intensity' is actually what many employers want, but won't say

Musk emailed Twitter employees Wednesday telling them they could either work all the time or quit. The email shows the stronghold that the concept of the "ideal worker" has on corporate America. "We will need to be extremely hardcore," wrote Musk, who became the owner of Twitter in October. Musk often flaunts his commitment to his workThe transition to "hardcore" work, Musk wrote in the email, "will mean working long hours at high intensity. The ideal worker is always available to meet the needs of a boss or a client.
☆ It's not just Elon Musk. Your boss probably wants you to put in 'long hours at high intensity' too.

☆ Layoff memos from tech companies illustrate how leaders need to show authentic regret over job cuts — and how damaging it can be when they don't
  + stars: | 2022-11-13 | by ( Shana Lebowitz | Rachel Durose | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Job cuts are never easy, but leaders' actions can lessen the sting of layoffs. Cuts at Meta, Twitter, and Stripe offer examples of what works — and what doesn't. Those contrite statements stand in contrast to a November 3 email that went to some 3,700 laid-off Twitter employees, about half of the company's workforce. Instead of apologizing, Musk, who is also the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, doubled down on his claims that the business was losing too much money to avoid workforce cuts. Twitter didn't tell employees why they were losing their jobsThe email to laid-off Twitter employees didn't explain the rationale behind the job cuts, though HR experts said that kind of clarity around what businesses sometimes call a "reduction in force," or RIF, is important.

"The more you share earlier, and [the more] you involve people along that journey, you're going to gain some trust there," he said. That's what Keystone does when it works with companies conducting layoffs, Varelas said. Deliver the news with integrityVarelas said it's important to show respect for the employees you're letting go. "You just let go of 10 of your hardest working colleagues and you're going out and you're celebrating." They're going to start losing faith and confidence in your leadership."

Since buying Twitter, Elon Musk has fired execs and reportedly asked for 84-hour workweeks. Musk, who rarely sticks to a leadership script, doesn't seem intent on winning employees' trust or providing clarity about the company's future. Most Twitter employees would be able to get another job relatively easily. "If you're technical talent, you're still going to be in demand if you're good," said Steve Cadigan, who runs Cadigan Talent Ventures and previously worked on mergers and acquisitions at Cisco.
