OFFICE LAY-OFF

by Michael K. Stuart

Overview

No one ever knows when bad news is going to strike. That's why when it happens, especially to me, it comes as a big surprise. That was certainly the case when during a staff meeting my coworkers and I had a big surprise – when the Vice President for Operations announced the closing of our office in Chantilly, Virginia. No one expected. But our parent company had decided to consolidate all operations at its Irvine, California headquarters.

Everyone was shocked at the news. We had just won a huge new contract and were busy phasing-in it in. We all assumed with that win under-our-belts, the company's financial situation was much more secure.

But we were wrong. The Chief Executive Officer had lost confidence in the V.P. for Operations and was paranoid enough that the CEO decided he wanted to take total control of the company for himself.
