When should an employer let employees know?
Im working in Vietnam and some of the middle school students asked about the center closing. A few different ones, seperately. This started a rumor that they will close. Managment has told people “cant confirm or deny anything.” Then added they would address it in a week.
A week came and went. They now say they will address it next week.
I should add that in the past teachers are the last to know of major changes. For example i got switched with another teacher. Different location. I was told not to tell the students but all the students knew. Apparently before i did because they came into class knowing and the admins had just told me 10 mins before class.
Naturally this has the 7 or so teachers stressed out.
Why would a conpany not address the issue?
I keep thinking that “cant confirm or deny” is practically admitting it. But maybe this is some sort of cruel joke to leave us hanging or a “gotcha, dont listen to rumors” sort of thing.
Opinions?
