I work as a sales reps for a large international company, based in NZ. This is the quietest business has been for at least a decade. This company has 5 reps in NZ but, I think, quite a fat band of middle management. National sales managers, regional sales managers, product range managers, it goes on. While it hasn't been talked about yet, if things don't pick up by the 2nd quarter of next year, we are probably looking at redundancies. In these bigger companies, where do they cut costs? Us front line guys or do they trim the middle management? I reckon there is more to be gained by trimming the MM, but I have a suspicion they will probably circle the wagons and throw whomever they can under the bus to save their own jobs. To anyone who has had a similar experience? Who was let go first?
Thanks
