Regarding upcoming layoffs, please do not cut Service Fund workers but instead start with their “leaders.”

That is, start with laying off the Directors, Associate Directors, and Managers within Service Fund.

Not all, but the majority of them lost their effectiveness after the first six to seven years in those roles. Now, they are just faking it by fancy updates in form of verbal presentations, emails, and powerpoint slides. But beyond that, they are not really producing (i.e., adding or saving) the company any money. Not nearly to the same level as their employees.

Find out which Service Fund Directors, Associate Directors, and Managers are real genuine producers, keep them and get rid the non-producing leaders. Then consolidate so that more employees fall under a single leader, instead of the waste going on in Service Fund right now where only five or six employees report to one leader. It should instead be more like ten to fifteen employees.

Think of the savings to the company right there.

Human Resources: Do a little digging and research on just Service Fund and I don’t think it will be difficult to find out the abundant waste taking place in middle management in that department alone. Then, I would imagine when you move on to other departments, you will begin to see a trend.
