Redundancies announced again. Not a new rodeo for me, after 7 years here. What did surprise me what the significant removal of swathes of leadership teams. The narrative structures of redundancy announcements are always fascinating to me. How the media plays them back, even more so.
I’ve spent most of my days, and waking moments talking to people affected. It’s not my job. It’s emotional labour. It takes effort and energy and time. I do it because it’s the right thing for me to do. Some of the strongest relationships I’ve built were because I took the time to listen in moments like these.
It also means that reading time is out of the question. Sharing links is not likely, except for this one from Seth Godin, again just in time for me
