It’s a new way of leading, I know, to let your employees in on “The Plan”. Information is power and that’s how you hold on to your power: not by being good at your jobs, but by keeping the big picture in your inner circle and then treating us like we’re id--ts because we incredulously aren’t “in the know”.
Is that how you run a business? A business where you depend on your employees to do the right thing, but you don’t hold yourself to the same high standards? We should be trustworthy and operate with integrity, but you get to lie and plot against us in the shadows?
Here’s what we know:
We know CN is retiring soon.
We know you kept it quiet that you were laying off Senior Traders.
We know you’re moving people around.
We know “Big changes are coming.”
Let’s consider taking the high road and making the big announcement now, rather than steadily building on the distrust which already exists between employees and management?
