Why do the cuts (in number of jobs) seem so drastic?
The cuts appear drastic, in part, because of the number of positions in the Client Relations & Diversity box. These positions are affected by the RFP for retirement administration and by the OP-wide consolidations. We will not know how many positions the department will contain until the organizational chart and job descriptions are finalized and approved by senior management. However, we have been tasked with making the department smaller. The rationale for our department and OP, in general, demands efficiencies from everyone, and the new department will operate differently.
