We Want to Work for People Who Create, Not Tear Down

Posted on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 by Frank Roche

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.Voltaire

Using layoffs as a business strategy is no strategy at all. Layoffs don’t work. They don’t create value.

Want to know the secret of getting employee engagement? Build things. And remember they’re people, not assets.

“Ah,” said the employees.
“Ah, ah, ah.”

Simple language works.
Simple, simple, simple.
