Your question arrived in our in-box the same day that we received a note from an acquaintance who had just been let go fr

20、om his job in publishing, certainly one of the industries that is facing, as you put it, “extreme changes.” He described his layoff as a practically Orwellian experience in which he was ushered into a conference room to meet with an outplacement consultant who, after dispensing with logistics, infor

21、med him that she would call him at home that evening to make sure everything was all right.“I assured her I had friends and loved ones and a dog,” he wrote, “and since my relationship wither could be measured in terms of seconds, they could take care of that end of things.” “Memo to HR: Instead of s

22、addling dismissed employees with solicitous outplacement reps,” he noted wryly,“put them in a room with some crockery for a few therapeutic minutes of smashing things against a wall.”While we enjoy our friends sense of humor, wed suggest a different memo to HR. “Layoffs are your moment of truth,” it

27、e in on the one conversation at work that must be personal. Pink slips should be delivered face-to-face, eyeball-to-eyeball.Second, HRs role is to serve a the companys arbiter of equiy. Nothing raises hackles more during a layoff than the sense that some peopledanamely the loudmouths and the litigio

28、uss getting better deals than others. HR can mitigate that dynamic by making sure across units and divisions that severance arrangements, if they exist, are appropriate and evenhanded. You simply dont want people to leave feelingas if they got you-know-what. They need to walk out saying: “At least I know i was treate
