for a company that small >50 employees, that is true to some extent. granted you don't want to be a slave driver, but at the same time, work is work. i never intended to create a hostile work environment, but at the end of the day, it is i that is taking ALL of the financial risk. if i had lost half of my employees, so be it, they obviously weren't getting the job done efficiently in the first place.
in my second example, the corporation i worked for employed 27,000 people. my division alone had 6k+. there may have been a survey sent out regarding some policy changes, but like i said, some of that stuff is decided in the board room where even i was not a part of the discussion. my point is that if a decision has been made, for whatever reason, whether perceive as invalid or necessary, it's a done deal. there's no sense complaining about it. accept and move on or get a new job if it's that serious.
my other point is that there seems to be a lot of support of the OP in this thread. surely, this can be a great social topic and we can agree to disagree, but i'm guessing that all the replies (mine included) have little or no bearing on her particular situation.
