EMPLOYEES REACTION
really de- motivating for the employees working and the company must
provide assurance and security to their employees.
In the first phase the companies laid off 150 employees from whom 120 were
the contractual employees and remaining 30 were the permanent. So at that
level motivation and commitment among remaining employees was not
badly affected because the major portion of lay off was from the contractual
employees. In second Phase Company laid off 90 employees in whom 8 were
contractual based employees and remaining 82 were the permanent
employees. Due to this phase the motivation level of employees was badly
affected. They felt that there is no security of job in Mobilink. Some of the
employees said that due to these kinds of lay off there is more chance to
increase the unemployment level in the country. Company should manage
the resources by making the contract of exchange resources.
RESIGNATION PROCESS
Mobilink is freeing up its resources mainly from technical department by
laying off over 100 employees in a single go. Administration is reasoning the
lay-offs due to a restricting process of its technology division. As a result, the
company said, certain operational areas had become redundant, whereas
new functions have also emerged. Therefore, headcount is being reduced in
areas that are redundant, whereas hiring of different skill set is underway.
The company asked the employees to give resignations rather than
terminating them. The reason they put up for resignation was that the
company does not require their skills anymore. The employee who will give
resignation will be provided benefits see exhibit (3) otherwise they would
have to face the company in the court. Exhibits (4)
