Utilizing the $$Your Assignment$$ directives as a guideline, as Human Resource Director, write a proposal press statement for the CEO$$s approval, to explain your company$$s strategy for helping employees adapt to the inevitable reassignments and subsequent layoffs.

From: Jake Thompson, Senior Production Manager To: The management team Hi$,$ y$$all$,$ We are in celebratory mode here in production management. The CEO$$s given me the go ahead to get the automation on our low$-$end product line as high as we can take it$,$ in as short a time as possible. Obviously, I$$m relying on the finance team to come up with the appropriate level of investment over the next few years. It$$s not going to happen overnight$$unfortunately$!$ The existing line has maintenance problems, plus there$$s a lot of staff to manage over the two shifts. Some of them have been with us a long time, and, of course, they know better than the management team how to run the place! Once we bring in the bots, so many of my day$-$to$-$day irritations will go away. Feel free to come by and share a celebratory cup of coffee$$I know you$$ve heard me argue this issue in management meetings for some time, so you$$ll understand how happy I am$.$ Jake From: Chris Franklin, Director of Human Resources To: Jake Thompson Whoa, careful Jake. Some people might call your $$day$-$to$-$day irritations$$ by another name$$employees$.$ Congratulations on the automation outcome, but this issue is going to be very sensitive once news gets out. I know you respect your people, and your email is the result of being excited by your win, but take it easy, cowboy! Chris From: Jake Thompson, Senior Production Manager To: Chris Franklin Wow, sorry, Chris. I guess I was so carried away over the business implications$$we can get the product out more efficiently for a lower price$$that I wasn$$t thinking about what$$s going to happen between now and then. Of course, I know it$$s going to be tough. There are a lot of breadwinners on the low$-$end line. Can we catch up for a chat about how to handle this? Jak
