I love good metaphors and I've been thinking of writing about "a new coat of paint" and "what's in a name". But I have to throw the metaphors away because I'm carrying the weight of "telling people what they don't want to hear".
I've been on the receiving end of this before, but more often I've been the one telling. So, "your shift is changing", "your work assignment is changing" and "you're not performing your job well" has been my focus for a few weeks. Fewer than 20 of 115 have had to hear me say it directly, but it carries heavy on everyone.
Day care, second jobs, spouses, families, obligations - life. Number two. That's the unspoken truth of my message.
It's my job. It makes good business sense. Better utilization of resources. Consistent with strategic plan.
When did I become this guy?
