The general manager just got back from a meeting of all the corporate GM's. They all do a facility presentation on projects, budgets, cost reduction stuff. The Operations Manager got a copy and forwarded it out without really reading it.
One of the cost reductions is actually staff reduction. They are cutting salary positions from 44 to 40 by the end of the year. They 4 people have not been announced. Needless to say tensions are pretty high.
Then I have to ask, if the news that 4 people are being eliminated why not just tell them and get it over with?
