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.
