Episode Synopsis
In Episode 2 of Beyond Human Limits, we rip the mask off one of corporate America’s most destructive tools: the calculated layoff. Behind every carefully worded press release and PR-crafted apology lies a brutal truth—these aren’t budget cuts. They’re corporate strategy.We expose the playbook executives use to gut teams while boosting share prices and protecting their own bonuses. From insider stock dumps timed just before “restructuring” announcements, to performance improvement plans engineered to quietly eliminate dissenters, this episode dissects how layoffs are weaponized—not as last resorts, but as tactical maneuvers.We also dive into the darker side of complicity: when HR becomes an enforcement arm, when peers become enablers, and when employee silence is bought with severance.This episode is not just for the ones who’ve been cut—It’s for those who stayed and felt the chill,Those who were managed out and never told why,And those who watched the machine devour people… and kept the receipts.They sell you purpose. We sell you the truth.Welcome to Beyond Human Limits - the podcast that dismantles corporate spin and exposes the dark mechanics behind modern business.If you’re ready to hear what they won’t print in the press releases, you’re in the right place.Follow us on x.com/bhlpodcast to stay plugged in.Let’s get to work.
