Dear Felix
As anticipated, the recent merger with Chris Associates has resulted in overlap of some functions. Consequently, it is necessary to reduce our work force in those areas in which we have significant duplication of effort.
Effective July 1, the publications and personnel divisions will decrease by 45%. Those affected will be notified by June 05. Our personnel office will hold a series of meetings at the end of May to discuss unemployment insurance benefits and to help those affected secure new jobs.
We sincerely appreciate your contributions and regret that this action has become necessary.
Regards
Lydia
