Tough Economy
2009-09-30 01:46:00 The Company has decided to discontinue CPR training. The thought is that if someone keels over on the job, it should be considered a part of natural attrition. When someone is leaving the company for a higher paying job, the Company does not counter offer in order to keep the person. Likewise, if someone is trying to die, the Company feels we should not stand in their way. Why train people to do something that the Company does not support? Like saving lives. In addition, the Company will save money on the cost of CPR training and eliminate the loss of productivity that is incurred while people are training to save something that has become such little value to the organization. The best way to cut costs is to cut the labor cost. The Company does not like layoffs. This always results in poor publicity. Natural attrition is always the best policy and as such, the Company will step up its efforts to make this the unhappiest place to work in town. Or e...
