If you are doing the best you can, why did HR and Management treat individuals during their redundancies so badly.
These were people who dedicated part of their lives to CGG and yet you were observed laughing at them during the redundancy process immediately post meetings, this was a shockingly poor way to treat your staff.
We all accept the business has ups and downs with its consequences. Everyone in the redundancy process had earned the right to be treated with total respect.
The HR and management team have lost the respect of the workforce, many leave not because of the state of the industry but because of a deep lack of trust of individuals within the HR and management team and change is required.
