Default 150 people let go recently from Harley-Davidson.

In the article a vendor posted that they heard it was salaried personnel including planning, purchasing and engineering.

I am sure if you are WOKE you are safe.

So who do you consider woke other than some CEO which in general come and go. I don't even know who it is.

150 is, and isn't a lot for a big company. Can be down sizing, can be getting rid of old people with big salaries and lots of vacation. Funny part is sometimes they have to hire them back as contractors. Could be they had doubles of staff after re-aligning, I have seen that too.

It appears they're calling it "select organizational adjustments," whatever that means.

Maybe the DEI hire that thought pink seat inserts was a great idea will be applying at Lululemon?

These big companies usually pick and choose who they let go. Doubt if it was done on seniority.
