I was tramming in this morning when I met up with a colleague. He is one of the accountants in the Finance Dept. I asked him how the team was coping after the Head was asked to leave earlier in the week. He said the team was very confused. That Head was a hardworking and competent fellow. He was very committed. If a commited, hardworking, competent and smart fellow got the sack, it has to be managed properly to avoid the perception that he had to go because of regime change. If the view was that the only reason for his sacking was he wasnt on the new boss’s good books, it will only encourage politicking. It would not encourage hard work and dedication. Is this the sort of behaviour the corporation want to encourage? Certainly the level of grovelling and sanctimony has escalated and continues to grate. I dont know….
