I run a PR agency and I am trying to cut £300,000 off my salary bill. I could do this by axing one of my “stars” – a man who has worked here longer than I have and who has some great client relationships. He is charismatic and quite difficult and will not go quietly. For the same money, I could axe six or seven more junior people, which might be easier politically. Yet some of them are talented, and the loss of so many will put intolerable strain on everyone else. Any ideas?
作为一家公关公司的管理者,我正努力将员工薪资支出削减30万英镑。要达到这个目标,我可以裁掉手下的一位“明星”员工——他在这家公司的任职时间比我还长,而且有不少重要的客户关系。他很有魅力也很难对付,不会安安静静的走人。为了节省这笔钱,我也可以裁掉六、七位级别较低的员工,从办公室政治的角度来说,这可能更容易一些。然而,在这几个低级职员中,有些人颇有才干,而且一下裁掉那么多人,会给公司其他员工带来无法承受的压力。你有什么建议吗?
