It's not great, but it's certainly better than something like "We've decided to move forward with a new strategic initiative that will involve a synergistic restructuring of our organizations and in that process it's possible that some people may find themselves seeking opportunities"...
- robotnoises 11y agoWhere I work, they called it a "workforce rebalancing," which I thought was a nice touch.
- smonff 11y agoOr "plan social" in french.
- talmand 11y agoGah, I really hate those "our firing you is your opportunity" lines. It's more like "our incompetence has forced us to fire you but of course we, the incompetent ones, will stay; think of this as your opportunity to find a better company without incompetent management, good luck with that".
- igorgue 11y agoMeh, same shit... Somebody got fired after working very hard on a product, that's all I know. None of the people who got fired are like "OMG... Jack is such a great guy for firing us without so much fluff" If anything is just good for him, and press, just for him, if anything his message basically say "We want a strong twitter and you are weak".
