Baker & Taylor – “Employees are expendable”

Pros

In a highly competitive industry, B&T is doing what it can to stay afloat, but often at the expense of their human capital

Cons

No raises in 2012, and a further statement to employees that further cost cuts will be made; will one or more sites be closed as a result?

Advice to Senior Management

While being a private company lessens the need for disclosure in the public domain, this should not extend to keeping your own employees in the dark for long periods of time
