You are the Vice President of Human Resources (VP-HR) for PrintX, a company which manufactures printers and copiers for different organizations. However, with the inflation and economic instability and move towards remote work (increased use of DocuSign for e-signatures), organizational needs for printers and copiers have gone down which means a loss of business for PrintX. While, PrintX is good for business for the next 6 months, it expects to undergo massive layoffs after 6 months. As the VP-HR you are in a decision-making dilemma whether to break the news to the impacted workers now (and not wait for the end of next 6 months) so that they get time to find new jobs and not be in a sudden job loss shock. However, you are also worried that if you disclose the news now, the impacted workers will lose motivation and this will impact their productivity for the next 6 months which is challenging because PrintX has already committed to timely production and delivery of existing orders for the next 6 months.

Initial Post: Please explain in yourown words and based on topic concepts, as the VP-HR of PrintX, what decision do you make (whether to announce the layoffs now or wait for 6 months), why do you make that particular decision choice (your rationale behind it), and how do you plan to execute the decision (implementation strategy) so that worker resistance is minimal for PrintX?

As the VP-HR of PrintX, I would announce the layoff now. pls write one paragrpah
