Federal Job Cuts Will Wound Surviving Employees Too

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.
