Isnt that a wonderful word! I am proposing this to Devon upper management and pray that they read this. Lets say you want to terminate large numbers of support people, like droves of lawyers. I know, i know, that is not a soft target.
Here in is the beauty of Embolization. Rather than costly severance, you slowly cut off the blood supply to the particular group, coaxing them to quit!
Diminish them in monthly meetings. Unexplicably, cut their bonus, slash pay raises, move them to menial unrewarding tasks. Get the picture?
Embolization worked with the Barnett Shale and the Mississippian units. Slowly dimished capital spending, until the target employees saw the writing on the wall.
The advantages, you say? Not as messy. More dignified. Cheaper. Lets the employee plan their exit strategy with a modicum of dignity.
Embolization.. a polite, but saavy term for those unpleasant decisions that executives an HR must implement. You heard it hear first. All i ask is you give me future credit.
