如果不想因為炒掉員工而產生負罪感,有一種新的方法是在領英(LinkedIn)上發(fā)一篇文章,讓你的人脈都知道你對此感到痛苦。
布雷登·沃雷克是俄亥俄州哥倫比亞一家市場營銷公司HyperSocial的首席執(zhí)行官。他周二發(fā)表了一篇對裁員充滿愧疚的帖子,結尾附上了一張自己熱淚盈眶的自拍。他在這篇帖子走紅之后,自稱是“哭泣的CEO”。
沃雷克的原貼獲得超過30,000個點贊和5,300條評論。他在文中說他愛所有員工,他承認是自己的決策導致了裁員,并表示這是他曾經做過的“最艱難的事情”。
32歲的沃雷克寫道:“今天,我真希望自己是一個只被金錢驅動的公司老板,不必關心那些被自己傷害的人們。但我不是那樣的人?!?/p>
評論中有人批評沃雷克的帖子只是公關噱頭,說他只是在博取同情。也有人支持他的做法,稱他不應該成為“取消文化”的受害者。
沃雷克在電話采訪中表示:“雖然有很多反對意見,但也有許多人支持我。但人們沒有看到的是,我因為這篇文章收到CEO們發(fā)來的私信,他們表示與我的處境相同。對我來說這才是最重要的?!?/p>
沃雷克的公司HyperSocial主要為客戶提供LinkedIn營銷宣傳策略。公司規(guī)模很小,目前只有15名員工,有2人之前已被解雇。沃雷克可以算是一位網紅,他在微軟公司(Microsoft Corp.)旗下的職業(yè)社交網絡LinkedIn中擁有超過30,000粉絲。
為了平息爭議,沃雷克在周三又發(fā)表了一篇帖子,試圖幫助那些需要工作的人們。他寫道:“我現在想做的是嘗試改善這種狀況,為正在找工作的人們發(fā)一篇新貼。我并沒有對之前的帖子感到后悔。但我至少可以利用它,為可能有需要的人們帶來幫助。”(財富中文網)

There’s a new way to cope with the guilt of firing your employees — a LinkedIn post letting your network know you feel miserable about it.
Braden Wallake, the chief executive officer of a Columbus, Ohio-based marketing agency called HyperSocial, wrote a guilt-filled post Tuesday about laying off employees that concluded with a teary-eyed selfie. After the post went viral, he declared himself “the crying CEO.”
Wallake’s original post has more than 30,000 likes and 5,300 comments. In it, he said he loves all of his employees, acknowledged how his own decisions led to the dismissals and said it was the “hardest thing” he has ever had to do.
“Days like today, I wish I was a business owner that was only money driven and didn’t care about who he hurt along the way” wrote Wallake, 32. “But I’m not.”
Comments criticized Wallake’s post, calling it a PR stunt and saying he was fishing for sympathy. Some expressed support for the move and suggested he shouldn’t be a victim of “cancel culture.”
“There’s been a lot of backlash, but there’s also been a lot of support,” Wallake said in a phone interview. “What no one sees is all the direct messages this has started, of CEOs reaching out saying they are in a similar place. And that to me is what matters.”
Wallake’s company, HyperSocial, focuses heavily on LinkedIn marketing and outreach strategies for its clients. The company is small; it has 15 employees, two fewer than before the layoffs. Wallake is an influencer of sorts, with over 30,000 followers on the Microsoft Corp.-owned social network for professionals.
In an attempt to quell the debate, Wallake wrote a follow-up post Wednesday seeking to help people in need of a job. “What I want to do now is try to make better of this situation and start a thread for people looking for work,” he wrote. “I’m not sorry for the post. But I’d at least like to use that post for the benefit of others that may need it.”
