We're using employees to spread the word, precisely at a time when nearly all of them are scared for their future. Nationwide has begun, and made no secret of, job eliminations. Most of which are support and front line management positions...those jobs that keep the wheels on and the customers happy. At a time where the company could score huge points by cutting executive pay and reducing compensation at the higher levels while attempting to retain the rank and file...clearly a better method for engaging the workforce and doing its part to help the economy. Rather than falling into the same old trap...let's cut the front line who actually services the customers in an effort to save the livelihood of those making the decisions...clearly a step away from being customer centric. The average American would hear that as a sign that the company really is "on your side" Nationwide continues to stumble when it has so much potential.
