The CEO at my employer is an odd man who scares everyone to death. Being in the elevator with him can be the end of their career if they don't say the right thing.
Layoffs are coming and he is trying to determine in a very unprofessional way who should be laid off. He will approach staff members and demand that they justify their existence in the company. He basically says this: “The company is cutting staff soon and I am fact finding who is actually valuable to the organization. Tell me how you provide value to the organization and why we should retain you in the company.”
Would you, could you convince your CEO you should be retained during company wide layoffs?
(I live and work in a very small town with few employers and lack of good jobs, so we are desperate to keep working. )
