Jerry Yangs E-Mail an die Belegschaft (via TC)
Jerry lamentiert in der Mail wie tragisch das ist, aber die Hilfe von Bain & Co. (Conslutants) hätte viel gebracht.
Ein Kommentar auf TC dazu:
“Jerry, buddy, first mistake is listening to Bain about ANYTHING. Clearly, they don’t know jack about organizational behaviour. Please tell me why anyone good in your org would stick around to see if they get the axe. Let me let you in on a little secret:
“
Step 1. Decide how much cash you need to save.
Step 2. identify those in the org that are to leave
Step 3. Let those people know en masse
Step 4. Then tell the rest of the organization.
See, i saved you all the consulting coin. You know an org is in real trouble when you have consultants like Bain running the roost. Lord help us all.”

Darauf eine Antwort:
“I agree with Jonathan above. Going to Bain & Co is a bad idea. I have had some experience working with them and it usually does not turn out to be a good thing. The productive people get upset and leave and you are left with the best a**kissers. Good people always can find a job.
I think you should be able to identify the very good talent in the organization and get rid of the fat. I have worked with people in Engineering, etc. and trust me there is a lot of fat there. Some really good managers and some that are completely clueless.
Focus on your core businesses and stop reworking things that do not need it. Communicate with your userbase. Listen to what they have to say.
I bet that MS takeover offer looks really really good right now. I am glad I am no longer a shareholder.”

“A CEO writing with no caps?
He should have signed off with

“Wow, what a way to destroy morale (if there was any of it left). Now 100% is worried about losing their jobs until they announce the actual people. And to be told in an email without capitalization… wow.”

Fazit: ~14000 Mitarbeiter per Mail verunsichern ist einfach nur EPIC FAIL. FOOL!
