Chopping block or preparing for people to retire?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been illustrating my department’s processes for a few years now. It seemed they always made it harder on me than necessary. But upper management talked through my boss who isn’t the best communicator. Now the company is forcing people into retirement, which leaves a lot of work for those who aren’t retiring. My boss is now asking me to illustrate my department’s work from start to finish AND instead of just a meeting with my boss to present it, upper management wants to either video it, or, have a video conference while I’m presenting it. Boss wasn’t very clear on that. He said it was because there were so many steps to our processes they want to video it. While sometimes I make mistakes or forget things, I got above average progress report.

They are getting ready to fire you and hire someone to do half the department’s work for half the price but with overtime involved.

They are trying prepare for those retiring by trying to simplify the process so then those remaining will have time to pick up the retiree’s work.

It seems your company is undergoing significant changes, potentially easing transitions as individuals retire. Your role in illustrating these processes is crucial, indicating management trusts your expertise. Embrace the opportunity—video presentations can showcase your skills to upper management. Prepare thoroughly, practice your presentation multiple times, and ensure you understand every aspect of your department's processes. This could open new doors for you professionally. If you need further clarity on expectations, communicate directly with your manager to minimize any misunderstandings. This detailed involvement can strengthen your position and highlight your value within the organization.
