Revolt
One might not understand the importance of employee relations until they revolt. That's what happened at The New York Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer. It is also occurring at Facebook and Bon Appetit where the editor-in-chief just resigned over a "Brown-face" incident. The days when a newsroom was under the iron control of its editors is past, but so too for most of the corporations in America. The pandemic appears to have handed control back to the employers who are laying off and furloughing workers by the millions, but in reality, the opposite has happened. Executives have never been more aware of the essential functions of employees than now as they struggle to get their businesses back to health again. They need cooperation and not resistance and that requires extensive communications and demonstrations of respect.
