The entire world is in pure 'chaos' right now with the new economic climate created by the U.S. financial crisis.
One would think that being in Canada would make us 'oblivious' to this.
Sadly, it has not.
The company I work for had decided that they would start paying only 80% of benefits for its staff starting in March '09 due to the U.S. economy.
To date, they have paid 100%, no questions asked.
My boss gave me the 'message' to give out to others in 4 days.
I thought long and hard about 'what to say' and 'how to deliver it'. How does one go to deliver news of impending doom and try and make 'light of the situation'?....
Instead of delivering the news 4 days later, I took the purely 'optimistic' stance and instead tried to 'lessen' the blow by reducing expenses to a point where the company could still pay the 20% short-fall and still save money.
How did I do that?
I went through every accounts payable file that we had.
Did we need bottled water delivered? Do we need satellite TV broadcast into our showroom?
Do we have any employees who could take advantage of government programs under our employ that would save us money?
I am only up to the letter 'G' in our accounts and I've already saved $24,000.00/year to my company and have in effect saved the 20% of employee contributions made by the staff.
We never think of the money we can save until a time comes where we can actually 'see' what we will lose.
I will bring my own 'water' to work everyday and I will be happy to have a job and I will be grateful that I've been given a chance to make a whole world of difference in the lives of others.
