Who will be the taskmaster?

So those that stay will be asked to work finish off what is left in Development. Knowing that once they are done they will get laid-off they will move very slowly in finishing up this task.

So someone will have to be hired as the taskmaster to make people are made to work even under hopeless conditions. Anyone up for the job. You get a big whip, you can stand high up on the balcony to give motivational speeches, an office with a door and a round table, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner carts brought to you everyday.
 






Pretty hopeless job. No one will work for you. As soon as you leave the room they will log onto the internet to look for new job opportunities. Only those that go to New Jersey and cosy up to the new management will be motivated.

New headquarters in NJ means Rochester is toast. Just the clean up crew left after next week. Sweep, clean, move, pack, and send to NJ.
 






So true. I hope they don't try another "Rah, Rah. All work together for greatness," rally. We have the benefit of seeing what happened to folks at Medicis and the other acquisitions and won't be fooled. We're just assets to be used and discarded.

There's an old saying that you don't piss in your own well. I'd say they've already tainted GEHC like an old Kodak brownfield.

No matter what happens to me this week, I only wish the best for our colleagues at the manufacturing and DC locations. It's been great to work with you.
 






Nothing much left to Rally the Troops with. Work hard and you might maintain your job until we move everything to New Jersey. Valeant will cut hard and cut fast. It knows the workforce will be unmotivated moving forward and in order to keep an eye on everyone to make sure they work hard they have to get them to the corporate headquarters.

Manufacturing is easy to keep track of. Just check the widgets at the end of the assembly line for number and quality. Everyone else will just do the absolute least and pretend they are doing the absolute most.
 












Survival strategy in the New B+L order.

Remain calm, and stand up straight to display a strong and confident yet non-threatening behavior.
Do not walk through a troop of baboons; instead, wait for an opportunity to walk around them, or wait for them to leave before you proceed.
If baboons don’t appear threatened by your presence and if they won’t move from the trail, keep your distance and make a loud noise, such as clapping your hands to encourage them to move on.
Do not smile or show your teeth; male baboons may view this action as a sign of aggression.
Baboons can mock charge you and sometimes back off when only inches away.
Get rid of any food that you may have in your hands by securing it in your backpack.
Be prepared to quickly unclip and leave your backpack if a baboon tries to go after any of your gear or food inside.
Never feed a baboon, and never try to grab back food or anything else that it takes from you. Baboons can fight aggressively to defend food that they’ve taken.
Avoid using pepper spray, as baboons can interpret it as an attack and act aggressively to fight back.
If a baboon presents itself aggressively by standing tall, showing its teeth, vocalizing a threat, or charging towards you, don’t make eye contact, and back away slowly without turning your back.

Never (ever, ever) feed baboons. They are not hungry and do not need your food. Remember that baboons do not share food amongst themselves – they work in a dominance related hierarchy – so if you give your food to a baboon you are showing that individual that you are subordinate.

Baboons are strategic and analytical – so to outwit them it is important to stay calm!
