Of all those around me facing job uncertainty, it is not the execs at the top - those paid 3x more than the rest of us who display far less competence and capability than those loosing their jobs. It is the ones I see working diligently, going above and beyond, putting out corporate fires and often without the recognition they deserve. Ka nui te aroha ki a koutou. And to those execs in positions of power making these decisions, perhaps stop dehumanising PEOPLE by referring to 'roles' and acknowledge these are human beings, parents, family members and people who have given years to your departments. If you reduced 'roles' by removing the incompetent ones and kept those who truly contributed, you would be far better off.
