    Hey guys, I'm a new manager who has been in my position since January.
  • Today something odd happened and I'd like a check on if this is typical or not. My workplace is
  • making cuts and they elected to lay a bunch of people off today. However, on my team of 4 they laid
  • off my most efficient employees. I was provided. no reason, and only informed after the fact.
  • Had I been asked I could have pointed leadership to the actual underperformer on my team.
  • I feel like this demonstrates exactly how much they respect and trust me that they would tell me nothing. Is it usual
  • for people to be let go on your team without you as a manager being told or providing feedback if that is a good decision?
