Pros
The people who actually get the work done in Corp Comms at Safeway Corporate are great at their jobs. But the layer of control that clients are now forced to go through is counter productive and the complaints are piling up under the rug. Metrics for clicks are awful and don't justify the expanded layer.
Kontras
This is how you get laid off by Safeway Corp Comms leadership - pulled out of a meeting, silently walked to unknown destination, read a script (3 lines) by your boss who cannot look you in the eye, 32 secs later boss leaves room, HR rep goes over severance package (1 week per year served), HR rep doesn't let you touch computer while you pack your personal effects, escorted out of building. Really? Yes, and this is for a re-org position elimination not a performance firing.
