The chosen ones...
Today two of our team members left our organization :( They were asked to go. Poor economy and new policies from the organization contributed to this decision. They were working with us as consultants from last 18 months. It took us close to 200 interviews to find them. Hard working and very committed duo within no time became key performers in the team. Every one in the team liked them. They were sincere, simple and passionate about the work. The number of friends they made within this time shows how nice they were. They gave us very valuable memories to cherish.
I am sure something big is waiting for them outside.I wish both of them good luck and bright future :)

hit the nail on its head
Today he announced our mass pay cut. How big is the cut? It is yet to be known. As he rightly pointed out in his mail certainly market is not ours... revenue across company is declining…investors want him to act…customers backing off new projects….!!!
For him math is simple. Reduce the cost and hence sustain the recession. How can he reduce the cost??? Reduce the cost by reducing headcount (right sizing) or reducing perks. Looking at the market conditions he chose to reduce employee compensation (including his own salary). As promised he kept muscle of our organization intact. This is a right move from a productivity standpoint. He believes that we are fundamentally sound and when economy picks up we stand strong and take the bigger share from the market place.
What it means to me?
I know this is a tough time. Market correction was very much required. Now I will have to remain focused and continue my contribution at my work. I have to perform efficiently and effectively. I strongly believe my organization strategies and our leader. I am sure he will work it out and help us emerge as a market leader soon. I think this is just the beginning. If the environment gets worse he will have no way out but to end up reducing the work force for the betterment of the organization. To mitigate that risk it is the responsibility of each one of us to help the organization to emerge from this global recession.
