We lost a bundle of co-workers that had great capabilities to help us deliver the best results. I am a Sales Finance and FP&A IT former employee and from my perspective, our IT and back-office that were outsourced were best in class when it came to execution. It is essential that account integrity, work-flow of orders and accounting treatments are executed to ensure that we reach desirable KPIs like net Sales, Net Revenue and all other many activities that contributes to the ESP gains QTR after QTR. IT and all our back-office co-workers always delivered the best service and everyone should be proud of them. I know I am and miss everyone that I had the precious opportunity to work with. We used to say Cash is King, you can sell all day but without execution of the OTC cycle and without IT support, we would not have produced great results. It was a Team effort that got us were this Company is today and beyond. Here are mu suggestions: those affected by the lay-offs should have no problem moving forward. Be prepared and gather a good resume, start net-working and have an exit plan in the event that you are let go. You have a lot to offer and you should be proud of your accomplishments. Good luck and success.
Great post, @11FVjArd-4onm. Couldn't agree more.
