Assume both A and B are senior managers of two different companies. Both the companies

Speech of Person 2

Hello everyone,

I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the hard work and
dedication you have consistently demonstrated as a team. Your loyalty and trust in the
vision of our company are truly commendable.

We are all aware of the current challenging economic climate, with many companies
resorting to layoffs and cost-saving measures. Unfortunately, the working environment
has become increasingly uncertain, with little emphasis on employee comfort. It feels like
a situation where you either adapt or risk being left behind.

In light of these circumstances, I want to assure you that I am making every effort to
design projects that allow each of you to take responsibility not only for your own tasks
but also for the success of your team members. It is crucial that we work together to
navigate these difficult times.

To avoid layoffs and ensure the stability of our organization, management has made the
decision to impose stricter working timelines and increase travel requirements for client
meetings. This means that we will need to work harder and smarter. It's important to
note that future promotions will be based on performance within this proposed
environment.

If any of you have any questions or concerns about the additional deliverables, I
encourage you to reach out to me personally. I am here to address any queries and
provide necessary support.

Remember, perseverance is the key to success. It's about continuing to put in the effort
even when things get tough. I expect each and every one of you to take responsibility and
contribute to the company's goals. Failing to do so could have serious consequences given
the current circumstances.

Thank you all for your understanding and commitment. Together, we will overcome these
challenges and emerge stronger than ever before.
