A few thoughts on impending job elimination...
As a result of its new budget, the federal government is
cutting 7000 jobs. Over the next three years, the government projects that
19200 jobs will be eliminated.
This is terrible news for the people who will lose their
jobs. But what about the organizations and departments where these people work?
The staff who remain after the government axe show will no doubt experience a
survivor syndrome. Job performance will plummet as staff look over their
shoulders for incoming pink slips.
Without a proper plan to motivate and communicate with
employees who survive these job cuts, this money saving initiative by the
federal government seems extremely short sighted.
