In May, we eliminated a number of roles at Syndio as part of a company redesign. One of the people we let go was Jonathan Vidales, a labor economist who had been with us for five years.
Around the same time, we redefined other jobs and asked those employees to take on more responsibility and a quota. We assumed they wouldn’t blink. These were leaner times. Jobs were harder to come by and the pendulum had shifted back toward employers. For those employees, we assumed, staying in a beefed-up role with a higher earning potential would be a no-brainer.
Right?
