In an effort to save money, this company laid off its veteran 58-year-old worker, who was approaching retirement in a little over a year. The decision probably made sense on paper since they were the highest paid, but it completely forgot to account for the fact that they were the only ones in their department who had any historical knowledge of the organization, or really any knowledge at all.
Whether through actual loyalty or through the pressure of the work that they didn't know how to do, and now faced completing alone, the other two members of their team soon tendered their resignations too, leaving the clueless boss helpless and with no idea how to proceed.
The company was eventually forced to crawl back and ask the employee to return and straighten things out, an arrangement that would cost them more money than they had originally been trying to save.
Funny how that works out.
