If you still have people you want to get rid of without paying the layoff costs, then try this trick - Pointless, Useless, mind numbingly stupid, mandatory training.
There is nothing like a total boring time waster in the middle of deadlines to kill any motivation hiding behind the hippocampus.
Here are some handy steps:
1. Ensure that the training is running on an internal site that does not really work. Have the training end with a quiz or a button that says "complete", but never works. So then your employees keep getting reminders that they need to complete the training. Forcing them to try and try again. This is also known as Chinese Water Torture.
2. Ensure that it has nothing to with them, their job, their role, or their line of business. It should have more to do with an ancient insect race living underground on Mars than your intended victim.
3. Ensure that it is extremely boring.
4. Ensure that the presenter has an nail-on-blackboard voice.
5. Ensure that you send repeated reminders, even if they have completed the training.
6. Ensure links to training are broken. Continue to remind them to follow the broken links.
These steps will ensure that your staff is annoyed, remind them that the company is run by chimpanzees, and thoroughly demotivated.
