How secure do you feel at your job

Written by Jim Heim


We are all familiar withrepparttar term “corporate restructure” in this day and age. Do you ever think one will ever personally affect you? After being employed by a major Midwestern retail chain for 28 years I didn’t think so. I started working for them in college; you know to get through school. I was studying management so it was only natural to get involved in their management program there. After graduating I was offered a position that required moving. No questions ask, my wife and I packed up everything we owned, left our families and pursuedrepparttar 100327 American dream.

After 25 years in management, working in 3 cities at 5 different locations I had slipped into that false sense of security. Then those meetings started about howrepparttar 100328 company was going to transform. “Big” competition was moving intorepparttar 100329 arearepparttar 100330 company operated in, there had to be changes to survive and “move forward”. The restructure inevitably meant cuts in overhead which of course translate into staff reduction.

It was early in January, after a successful Christmas selling season, thatrepparttar 100331 tension really began to build. Changes inrepparttar 100332 wind were blowing strong now. All management personnel were to attend a mandatory meeting on Thursday. At this meeting a sketchy outline was given ofrepparttar 100333 new directionrepparttar 100334 company was taking. We were thanked for our efforts in seeingrepparttar 100335 company through its best year ever. Then just as we were to be excused we were informed that overrepparttar 100336 next two days each of us would meet withrepparttar 100337 store manager to find out our part, if any inrepparttar 100338 changes.

The next day wasrepparttar 100339 day I had my appointment. I enteredrepparttar 100340 store manager’s office and sat down. Not 10 seconds after that I knew of my fate, “as you knowrepparttar 100341 company is restricting”repparttar 100342 manager said. He continued “your position has been eliminated, you will be ask to leave after this meeting”. I was astounded that after allrepparttar 100343 time and dedication I had poured intorepparttar 100344 company I was “being eliminated”!
