Reverse The Signs

A friend recently attended a
rah, rah speech by the company President
about how their number one asset
was their employees,
etc. 

She and I both agree that
layoffs/restructuring plans are looming. 
Why? 
Because the executive team 
has been focusing on that area 
(enough to warrant a speech).  

In “Hello Laziness”, Corinne Maier observes that
“The more a large company talks about something,
the less there is of it. 
Companies assert the ‘value’ of particular jobs
just at the money they are about to disappear…”

  1. I interview someone just today who said that when his company started assuring everyone there was no reason to worry about their job he started to worry and to look for a job.
