Staff Motivation III
Now that the senior managers are less more motivated, call in the grunts and tell them that the standby/callout time will be reduced. Instead of getting 2/8 (2 hrs extra per day M-F, 8 hrs on S-S) they will get 1/4. Make sure in the same meeting that you discuss how nice the new million dollar awning will look on the front of the building. Touch on the new interior and working escalator to be errected because the new MD wants an office on the ground floor - in the "heart" of the building (don't mention a fear of lifts). Explain that small sacrifices (like 20% of your take home pay) are required of everyone these days (except for golden parachutes, building facade rennovations and office redecorations for managing directors).
