Holy cow, a memo has been leaked about how Management are to "handle" the lay-off of over 1500 staff.
Check out the whole Memo at ValleyWag ;;
Yahoo's script for performing the layoff begins when the boss walks up to an employee getting the sack. And then he says, "Thank you, [FIRST NAME HERE], for coming in. I have some information regarding our organization I'd like to tell you in person." The anodyne managementspeak just gets worse from there: "I appreciate what you have done for Yahoo."
- DO - Keep meeting to 15 minutes maximum,
- Be very clear on the next steps and the remainder of the day
- DON'T - Say you disagree with the decision,
- Make comments like "you'll have time off for the holidays"
Bad form Yahoo!....
