Many of the changes that are made are planned 12 years in advance. They are broken into smaller runs that lead up to the final piece. Instead of making everyone fear their jobs wondering who will get the ax next and creating an unsettling environment, why don't they just make those plans public? It would give people an idea of whether they should apply for a job and how long they should be in their job. Morale would improve I would think because people wouldn't be whispering wondering who will go next. I have worked in both environments here where people knew well in advance their job was ending and when and where people thought it might end looking at signs but they were unsure. The environment where people knew well in advance was not very stressful. A few people left early but most stayed until the end then moved to other departments or retired or went to another company. There was no bitterness, nothing negative really. It was very stressful where the people didn't know. I accidentally found out one person's job was going and they turned down early retirement. I wanted so much to tell them they should take it but I couldn't. It would also be nice to see what the company is planning across the globe in the future. The information is out there. Why not be transparent and share it?

Actually, the whole off shore payroll thing was in the works several years ago. 10+ years ago.
This company doesn’t have the foresight to plan for next year, much less years in advance.
Not sure what you’re smoking. Planning 12 years out. Haha.
