Another fine day at Peyton PHlaCe....

The CEO sent an email earlier in the week to update Peyton PHlaCe employees on the impending doom...there will definitely be a 5% workforce reduction starting next week.

That has just made everyone...
  • Work harder...at finding another job...
  • Start wondering out loud...next week Monday? or Tuesday? or Friday?
  • Start analyzing what it means when their boss passes them in the hall without looking at them....is he just busy?...is she avoiding me on purpose?...does he hate me because I do such a good job he has to keep me?
  • Spend more time in hallway conversations figuring out who will get the axe.
  • Spend more meeting minutes (as in time, not summaries) discussing who will be left to do all the work...
  • Write shorter meeting minutes because most of the meeting was idle chatter about the impending layoff...
More to follow...
