ETHICOMP 2002 - Accepted Papers The plight of the survivors of downsizing who appear to suffer a 'survivor syndrome' has received increasing attention in the academic literature (Brockner and Greenberg 1990, Brockner et al. These interrelated and substantial pressures on universities have brought radical and rapid changes in the ethos and mission of the institutions, which represent a hidden structural re-orientation as both cause and effect of downsizing which has been identified by Cameron et al. This paper analyses the findings from these surveys by using concepts from the literature related to organizational trust and its general usefulness for understanding the ethical aspects of downsizing and survivor syndrome. www.ccsr.cse.dmu.ac.uk /conferences/ethicomp/ethicomp2002/abstracts/49.html   (756 words)

Challenge -- Dec. 3 But war also creates the conditions for workers to put an end to this murderous downsizing, warmaking system and to build a new, one world: where production is not for sale and for the benefit of a group of capitalists, but rather serves the needs of the billions of workers who now have nothing. That is why PLP participates in the fight against downsizing, imperialist war, racist terror, etc.: to show our co-workers that the only way out of the hell of capitalism and its countless crises is to smash it with communist revolution. The more bosses that attack workers, will result in more workers asking, "Why?" PLP has the answer and the solution: Smash the bosses and fight for a society where workers rule and the only downsizing will be done to the Levi's, Aztec and all bosses. www.plp.org /cd97/cd1203.html   (756 words)

Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP - Newsletters Although downsizing may be unavoidable in certain instances, the employer that carefully plans a RIF, implements it in a fair and consistent fashion, and interacts with affected employees in an honest and compassionate manner can prevent many of the problems normally associated with these otherwise traumatic events. A downsizing management team consisting of HR staff, heads of affected units and other respected managers might be the best choice to develop these RIF policies and procedures. To ensure fair RIF policies, employers should establish specific procedures for selecting which employees to terminate, ensure that the criteria used to select employees for layoff are defensible, and document the reasons for selecting particular employees. www.smithcurrie.com /lespr02.htm   (252 words)

Mariana Islands DX Association Guam lost some of it's most active DX'ers who had been long time residents of the island when the military downsizing occurred. The military presence in Guam also required a number of support positions from civilian contractors, and some of these positions were filled by hams from the U.S. The early 90's brought a substantial military downsizing to Guam, and the military population of the island today is a small percentage of years gone by. The Mariana Islands DX Association was formed in November of 1997 by a small group of DX'ers, contesters, and HF operators in the Mariana islands. www.guam.net /pub/midxa/club/club_info.html   (1583 words)

Nat' Academies Press, Effectiveness and Impact of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards (2002) The ap- plication of single and double overhead cam designs, with two, three, or four valves per cylinder, offers the potential for reduced frictional losses (reduced mass and roller followers), higher specific power (tap/liter), engine downsizing, somewhat increased compression ratios, and reduced pumping losses. Depending on the particular application and the trade-offs between valve number, cost, and cam configuration (single overhead cam [SOHC] or double overhead cam [DOHC]), im- provements in fuel consumption of 2 to 5 percent are possible, at constant performance, including engine downsizing (Chon and Heywood, 2000~. Thus, all cars (but not trucks) are assumed to have four valves per cylinder and overhead camshafts even though a substantial number sold in the United States still have two valves, espe- cially large cars. www.nap.edu /books/0309076013/html/31.html   (1583 words)

U.S. Sen. James M. INHOFE SAYS ATTACK ON SHIP HIGHLIGHTS READINESS CONCERNS [Free Republic] In response to questions from Inhofe, Zinni also acknowledged that increased outsourcing, privatizing and downsizing in recent years had affected the Navy's ability to safely conduct operations. Speaking at a Senate Armed Services committee hearing on the Cole incident, Inhofe noted that the Navy has gone from 32 refueling "oilers" down to 21 as a result of Navy downsizing in recent years. Inhofe said, "The deep sorrow I feel over the loss of the sailors on the USS Cole is multiplied when I think of what other tragic scenarios will play out in the years ahead because of this administration's inattention to future readiness and modernization needs. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a39f0d9ab5405.htm   (368 words)

ecdd0058 - Managing Transition - How to Avoid the Survivor Syndrome Survivors tend to react more favourably when they believe that downsizing is being handled fairly. Managing transition during organizational downsizing often means guiding employees through the "survivor syndrome" -- a post-traumatic disorder linked to survivors of major crisis situations. Eliminating useless work, and ensuring that survivors recognize the new opportunities in their job environment is equally important in ensuring employee job satisfaction. www.rcmp-learning.org /docs/ecdd0058.htm   (310 words)

guampdn - www.guampdn.com - Hagatna, GU Continental Micronesia has 155 employees based in Saipan, and by the end of the downsizing, a process that begins Oct. 4, the regional airline will be left with 35 Saipan-based employees, said Wally Dias, staff vice president for sales and promotions at Continental. Continental Micronesia jobs in Saipan will shrink from 155 to 35 in January under a gradual downsizing process that begins when Japan Airlines leaves Saipan Oct. 4. Some of Continental Micronesia's Saipan employees who face layoffs because of the airline's shrunken business on the island face the prospect of finding other jobs with the airline on Guam or in Houston, Texas, an airline official said yesterday. www.guampdn.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050921/NEWS01/509210317/1002/NEWS17   (299 words)

Bruce Forsyth 's Military History Page The downsizing of CFB Chatham was only the beginning of the end for the former fighter training base. As a result of massive cutbacks to the Department of National Defence, CFB Winnipeg's Kapyong Barracks began downsizing in the mid 1990's, leaving the base with only 65 hectares. CFB Rivers closed in September 1971 and in September 1972, the land was turned over to the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development for use as an industrial training centre for Manitoba Indians, the Oo-Za-We-Kwun Centre. www.geocities.com /Pentagon/Quarters/2529   (18947 words)

Government Executive Magazine - 8/1/02 Better buyouts Instead of the first-come, first-served buyouts that agencies offered to meet downsizing quotas in the 1990s, agencies would instead offer buyouts to targeted groups of employees whose skills are no longer needed or whose slots in the workforce could be better used by the agency. During the downsizing of the 1990s, federal workers who took buyouts took their jobs with them. That change, if it survives the legislative process, could mean a very different kind of buyout for the current decade. www.govexec.com /dailyfed/0802/080102pb.htm   (18947 words)

Music: Broken Records (Nashville Scene . 02-15-99) Moreover, since this downsizing happens to be occurring at the same time as a downturn in country sales and an overabundance of record labels, the speed of the changes may increase dramatically. Thanks to the burgeoning trend of corporate downsizing in the music business, the office of Decca Records was shut down--an abrupt end to a label steeped in country-music tradition. A plan to have Mercury Nashville's president Luke Lewis report to MCA Nashville chairman Bruce Hinton was nixed in part by no less than Shania Twain, whose impressive record sales have earned her considerable corporate clout. weeklywire.com /ww/02-15-99/nash_cover.html   (18947 words)

BROADER PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT IN NORTH BAY -- CONTEXT AND SUMMARY OF THE RESEARCH FINDINGS -- The purpose of the Group is to provide a central and broad-based focus for the development and adjustment of the North Bay area over the period 1996-2000, particularly in light of downsizing in the broader public sector. While this loss is significant, it will come as no surprise to residents of the area who have been aware for some time of the specific numbers relating to the downsizing of Canadian Forces Base North Bay - and which accounts for over 50% of the job loss. We also need to remember that although the community has lost 26% of its public sector jobs, the broader public sector in North Bay remains a key sector and still accounts for nearly 30% of all jobs. www.nipissingu.ca /cri/BroaderPubSec91-97.htm   (18947 words)

Museums Australia (Qld) 2000 Annual Report Museums Australia (Qld) is the state branch of a national organisation, the national office of which last year underwent a radical downsizing due to the Australia Council’s withdrawal of funds to the national office.

The Subschools/Small Schools Movement--Taking Stock., Raywid, Mary Anne Downsizing stimulates the move toward personalized, communal schools and may be needed to restore conditions that allow human beings to function as engaged and committed agents in their own and others' education. The paper describes the downsizing activities in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago and identifies four distinct types, each with varying degrees of separateness and autonomy--a house plan, a mini-school, a school-within-a-school, and a small school. Abstract: Today, the division of large schools into subschools or subunits is often recommended as the answer to a number of problems in education. ericae.net /ericdb/ED397490.htm   (333 words)

Big Business But the downsizing also allowed corporations to open their doors to working with a variety of professionals. Corporate downsizing left many in-house event professionals out on the street, vying for business.

Pelz leaving King County Council Now that the King County Council must shrink from 13 to nine members, one councilman isn't waiting around to see if the government-downsizing tide will sweep him away. In approving the downsizing last week, voters ensured that at least four council members will go away next year. Dwight Pelz is so determined to switch from the County Council to the Seattle City Council that he already has raised more than $40,000, outpacing all other candidates for the 2005 city elections so far, city records show. seattlepi.nwsource.com /local/198682_pelz08.html   (520 words)

Genesis v200x The results point to a cosmic downsizing: whereas the early universe was dominated by a relatively small number of giant galaxies, activity in the current universe is dispersed among a large number of smaller galaxies. As the cosmic downsizing continues, the dwarf galaxies—which hold only a few million stars each but are the most numerous type of galaxy in the universe—will become the primary hot spots of star formation. The cosmic ecology is becoming generally 'post-hyperthermally plasmic' with only isolated foci of hyper-plasmically dense energized matter present amidst cooler volumes of space-time. members.aol.com /eilatlog/chronofile/origins.html   (12641 words)
