Whoever wrote this has no empathy for what the remaining people are going through at FTD. You have a lot of scared people here because of the uncertainty of what just happened and the future of what looks like another 100+ year old dying company. We lost a lot of family members (coworkers) here and you want us to just forget them, be professionals and keep pushing through to ensure that the shareholders and customers are happy. How do we do that when so many here are scared and feel forgotten? Was any counseling offered to the workers? Nope.
But don’t worry, your message was heard loud and clear. There will be an exodus of people leaving this company because of statements like yours. Nice way to be a family member. You sound more like the problem that put this once great company on life support. It’s going to take time to adjust to the new roles that have been dumped on us without warning. There is going to be a lack of trust towards the ELT. This is the 2nd time, in two years, that the CEO and other ELT members have been removed. Maybe, we should get rid of the ELT and hire a consulting firm to run this place. They would care just as much.
