一封来自公司ceo的公开信-- 8月19号更新

不多说了，大家看看信然后说说感想吧。

Dear Colleagues,

Our company has been affected by many changes in recent months. A slowing of the
economy in Australia and New Zealand and even in the Region, rising fuel prices, interest
rate increases, devaluation of the share market, sub prime mortgage in the USA, uncertain
markets and key customers moving to other providers.

A clear picture is emerging – evidently 2008 is much tougher than expected.
In an effort to create a more positive outlook in 2009, I am working closely with the
leadership team and we are driving innovative and necessary changes within the business
to achieve our objectives.

We have recently changed the focus of our leadership team, with clear parameters on
expectations, outcomes and business improvement / growth strategies. This includes
restructuring the corporate division, adjusting alignment within departments and will result,
regrettably, in a necessary reduction in personnel.

What this means for all of us, regardless of which areas of the business we represent, is a
“tightening of the belt”. Going forward, and for a time frame yet to be determined, staff
replacement, bonuses and salary increases will not be automatic, entertainment and travel
will be kept to a mandatory minimum and procurement and cost saving exercises will be
undertaken right across the business. This means, for example, initiatives such as training
programs will be developed and facilitated in-house.

We will continue with monthly Board Meetings, however, will also have Strategy Meetings
with Corporate General Managers and Directors (Leadership Team). Other groups or
individuals from the organization will be invited as required.

Personally speaking this will enable me to focus my time with the leadership team and visit
more of our sites with a focus on our customers and colleagues. With these changes we
are optimistic that 2009 will bring back solid growth and more returns to the company
In these tougher times I thank you for your continuous effort and, as always, am open to
your ideas and opinions on further improvement and cost reduction strategies.
Kind regards,

----------------------------------------------------------------



最新更新： 公司新任命了6个manager， 其中包括一个it的manager，当然，也预示了很多未来的结构变化。 下面这个是关于it manager的描述和评论。

Enormous investment has gone into the IT platform during and after the integration.

下面是今天刚刚来自ceo的公开信

Dear Colleagues,
To ensure we continue to meet customer requirements and company needs, we have recently
restructured some of our departments.

sigh... 最近seek上的工作也确实少了很多啊。
从cost saving 角度来说，是不是一般先裁高薪senior staff 和 admin 的人？

难说啊，不过即使不裁员，临时取消了工资的年度review也很打击人啊

你们还有年度review，哎 大公司至少有policy就是好啊。 我们是没有HR，老板说有就有，还得ask。。 我已经超过一年没有被review了。

SOSHELPPLZ

年度REVIEW，同事都得了奖， 自己没得，更打击人。。。。

不完全是跳槽的问题，因为涉及到个career plan的问题，

目前我的消息是我之前的公司和我同事之前的公司也受到波及。

如果是个大环境的问题，那到哪里都是一样的。
