[LeadersWorkshop] This is scary

 

 

In a large multinational company.............

 

A fire alarm rang at 4 PM in a large office when almost all employees were in office (approx 5000). As usual the entire office was evacuated within 3 minutes & all employees gathered outside the office in the designated area waiting for further announcements.

The Security Officer in charge made the following announcement:  "Dear employees - with sincere regret I have been asked to announce that for many of you it will be your last evacuation drill.

Due to the recession the company is laying off almost 50% of its employees. So when this announcement is over, I shall ask all of you to move back into the building.

If your swipe card does not work it means you have been laid off. In which
case you will not be allowed inside and all your belongings will be couriered to you by tomorrow.

The Company has used this innovative approach as we didn't want to fill up the email box with lay-off mails and good bye mails in thousands. As also to avoid any fight inside the> office and the> consequent security issue for all staff.

Hope you have had a rewarding career with us and all the best ahead. Please move back in & try your luck".

An amazing mail that I recieved.
