It is not surprising that the morale was so low. Here are some concerns that employees have after reorg:
• “What are my different responsibilities? My new manager doesn’t even know his or her team’s new focus.”
• “The changes have been announced, but I don’t know who my new manager will be yet. Why would leadership announce changes but not share any relevant information?”
• “I am not going to give my best effort because I will just have a new manager in a few months anyway and will have to start all over, so why bother?”
• “People leave managers, not companies. I am unsure about my new manager and whether we will connect. I joined the company because I wanted to work for my current manager.”
• “Does the leadership team know what they are doing? It’s like they are just throwing random ideas out there and hoping one will stick.”
• “Maybe the changes should be made at the top and some of those people should lose their jobs instead of pointing fingers at the worker bees.”
• “As soon as I get to know my teammates and we develop a good groove, they change up the team and all that effort is lost.”
• “Is my position going to be eliminated?”
• “I am being moved into a new role that I’m not interested in career-wise. Does anyone care about my needs?”
• “Can someone tell me what my new title is?”
• “I wish they would have publically announced that newly created role. I would have been interested in applying. I didn’t even get a chance.”
• “How am I supposed to make progress on my projects when my role changes so frequently?”
• “How is my work going to be evaluated at the end of the year since I’ve changed roles three times and have had three different managers in the past twelve months?”
