Companies come up with all sorts of reasons to fire people. Especially after they go through years of excess.
A friend who works at ANZ tells me that they have come up with another way of culling jobs. They have embraced Agile wholeheartedly. And every employee has to be certified in Agile. Once an employee is certified he has to apply to be part of a squad, chapter, tribe etc.
Now to ensure that people are fired for "performance" reasons, there are only 800 openings up for grabs for 1000 odd people.
I think it is a nightmare when after spending years in a company you have to re-apply back to just keep your job.
