I agree, it has been a rough time at Corizon as of late. I attribute a portion of that to the change in leadership, although I feel more confident in our current leadership team than I have in the last three years. At the heart of it, we are a government contract based business. As the volume of contracts we have, ebbs and flows, so does the number of staff required at corporate, to support those in the field. The decision to not replace certain positions when people leave, is a responsible one on the part of management. Should those positions have been replaced, more would’ve been impacted by layoffs. The overall mentality has become, we can all do a little more, and take on things previously outside of our job scope, to help our team members.
Our current CEO saw this review, and questioned if the general consensus of staff, is that we are positioning to be sold. I let him know there is some mutterings of this in the rumor mill. He’s genuinely focused on managing our position and message to our current employees. I do think it’s noteworthy to point out, he is tuned in here.
That said, having been here for 10 years, I’ve been through sale of the company before. We are held by a private equity firm, and when those sales happen, disruption to day to day activity is typically very minimal. Sorry your experience wasn’t better.
Sincerely,
Courtney Penning
