Chapter 2097
"Mr. Sean! Mr. Sean, you're misunderstanding us!" Elvis hurriedly explained, then turned to Rosalynn, "Ms. Tesdal, please give us more time, we'll explain our predicament."
"I hope it's a real predicament and not an excuse to waste my time," Rosalynn responded coolly.
After this opening exchange, Elvis and his team realized they couldn't afford to underestimate Rosalynn.
Regardless of gender, her words could decide the fate of their entire company.
The meeting continued into the afternoon, with Elvis and his team carefully making their case, careful not to offend Rosalynn.
They brought out the same tactics they'd used on Wayne.d2
Three hours past noon, Elvis finished his last point, looking visibly drained.
"So, according to you, it seems half of your company's 197 employees are facing layoffs," Rosalynn said, glancing over the room.
Elvis looked uncomfortable.
This was why he had tried to butter up Rosalynn from the start. He couldn't bear to let go of any of the company's employees, especially those in technical positions. Especially not in the current economic climate..
Among those on Rosalynn's list for potential layoffs were mid-level staff, people over 35, with families, mortgages, car payments.
Even with generous severance packages, finding another well-paying job at their age would be next to impossible. Their future seemed bleak.
But the company was failing! They had been struggling for the past six months, and now they were even worse off!
"Not only that, if the company wants to continue, your business direction also needs to change. If you persist with the current approach, Bane Corporation will stop funding next quarter," Rosalynn paused, "In addition, you're facing the huge penalty of failing to meet the terms of the deal with Bane Corporation."
"Ms. Tesdal, if we knew you were going to launch the Bane Corporation Al, we would never have agreed to Bane Corporation's acquisition!" Elvis was almost in tears.
"Bane Corporation's acquisition was ten years ago, and Bane Corporation Al was launched last year. For the past nine years, Bane Corporation has supported you both financially and technically. You've been nurtured by Bane Corporation for so long that you've become complacent. Many tech companies have used Bane Corporation Al to revive their dying businesses! Yet, for you, the Bane Corporation Al is an excuse for failure?"
Rosalynn's words echoed in the silent room.
"Let's be blunt, Bane Corporation is about capital, and capital is about profit," Rosalynn concluded, standing up.
The others in the room stood up with her.
"Secretary Tesdal!" Elvis stood up in a panic, "I...I beg you, give us one more chance for the next quarter!"Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
