One of my earlier posts referenced a few changes that had been made regarding compensation and personnel (reference Office Holidays post). In a nut shell, our entire company was told we would be taking 10% pay cuts effective immediately, and it would be reviewed again after 90 days.
90 days has come and gone folks and boy oh boy is it about to hit the proverbial fan!
Is it the lack of communication or the new hires...you read it right...NEW HIRES! Three of whom are replacing existing/vacated positions, but the other three...ummm...NO!!
All I am saying is, when you take money away from people you have definitely gotten their attention, and believe me they are watching! The total and complete blatantly arrogant manner in which this has been handled thus far is unbelievable and downright wrong.
In any HR capacity, you may not always be able to share the core details and reasoning behind certain decisions, but the situation should be addressed on some basic level in a straight forward and honest manner, people are owed that much respect for their personal sacrifice.
Until that happens, we'll be here sitting in the eye of the storm, hands tied and surrounded by grumbles, watching the momentum build. Quiet Riot indeed!!
And we're off...
