Do you realize that calling people inefficiencies sounds rather cold?
- fapjacks 9y agoWell, organizations are made of people, and organizations can and do have inefficiencies. I completely understand what you're saying, but wouldn't we just be using code words if we said something else?
- pc86 9y agoSaying objectively that 12 people are doing the work of 8 isn't making any value judgment on the 4 people who get let go.
- maxlybbert 9y agoThat’s not how I read the comment. I took it as “inefficiencies in procedures or how departments communicate.” But it’s true that making the place more efficient will lead to layoffs. It doesn’t have to; they could just as easily use the same people to do more, but apparently the managers don’t have any ideas for what else to do.
