Say a prayer for Hodgie tomorrow

I apologize, the email previously sent to you omitted several items at the end. Please find the complete email below. I am retracting the previous email, but if you have already opened, please read the complete text below. Again, I apologize, Terry Lema
*****************
I know all of you are anxious about our IT restructure process and the reductions associated with this. I also know this will be a stressful time for everyone. I'm asking that you read the information below so you will be prepared. It is important that we all get through the day honoring and respecting those who will be leaving the department. We also want you to hear about some new positions we are posting, as part of this reduction involves eliminating some old positions and replacing them with new ones.
At 9:00 tomorrow we will send out e-mails to each member of the Boise IT staff giving you some instructions. We would ask that you follow the instructions you receive and that you not discuss them with your co-workers. We have planned the activities for the day very carefully and want to alleviate any confusion.
Those whose positions are impacted by the restructure and reduction will be receiving information about the new/replacement positions and how to apply for these. Qualified staff who have been displaced will be given consideration for these new roles over other emplyees or outside applicants.
Please be aware that, due to our security policies, access to the buildings, voice-mail and information systems will be canceled as soon as the announcement is made. This is not intended to hurt or offend; it is a matter of compliance.
Anyone who would normally take a car pool or van pool to work may wish to drive tomorrow.
We advise that you clear your calendars for Wednesday and Thursday, as we will be scheduling one-on-one and team meetings for our employees to walk through the changes and answer questions.
Thank you.

Oh Hodgie, I will totally pray for you. You by the way are also in 6 Temples. Please e-mail and let us know tomorrow. I am soooo very worried about you. I can't believe the way they are handling this. It is so impersonal and demeaning. As if any of you don't deserve to personally get told. It sounds like they will send the email and then look out. Your out on the street with no further information and no recourse and no access to the building etc. How un-believable cold. Hodgie you deserve better, and so do your co-workers. Just because money is tight it doesn't mean they can't be human about it. What a bunch of chicken shizzs. They are totally wanting to eliminate the awkwardness for the people with the ax. I am sooo sorry. I love you Hodgie.
Love Laurie

Love you too Laurie! I hope for the best... Thanks for your prayers and the prayers of people in 6 temples! WOW! Thanks wee! HOpefully I'll survive tomorrow. If not, I'm working at Burger King to break my addiction and living with Becky and Dale. Hope they're ready for me!

I disagree with the impersonal crappy way they are handling this too! It totally sucks! I don't think you have anything to worry about though because of your length of time spent with St. Lukes. It would be cheaper for them to fire someone else and we all know they are looking to save money! Love you Hodge, let us know as soon as you do o.k.?
