I echo the prayers. Specifically for the EMT. I agree with a lot of the vitriol on here. There are certainly some members of the c level who have nothing behind their eyes and act like robots while muttering corporate speak and wrecking things to the ground. But there are also a couple who, despite their terrible job at managing this company, always struck me as folks with a soul. The CEO stands out. He always seemed like a good, friendly guy. I don’t think his incompetence makes him evil. It just makes him bad at his job.
So, with all that in mind… I hope those few who seem like they might have a good person inside them feel what they’ve done weighing heavily on their souls. I hope what you are doing to so many families that rely on these jobs weighs on you every night when you pray.
In a few weeks when you do an all hands call for those of us who survive the cut please do your soul a favor. As the robots on your team try to roll you out with their purple parlance and scripted rah rah routine please turn them down. Instead, stand up, be honest, and do your soul the favor of apologizing for screwing this all up so bad. Acknowledge your mistakes. Forgive yourself. It’ll a go a long way for however you feel about this mess. A lot of folks won’t forgive you right away, some never will, but that’s fine. It’s the effort that counts.
