MARIETTA — One longtime Cobb EMC employee views her company’s announcement to reduce its workforce by 10 to 20 percent as a good thing for co-workers eligible for retirement and those who qualify for promotions.
The Cobb EMC Board of Directors voted unanimously Tuesday to reduce its staff and linemen by between 55 and 110 of its 550 employees through a company-wide offer of voluntary separation packages.
CEO and President Chip Nelson made the announcement to employees Wednesday and Thursday.
“It wasn’t underhanded,” said a Cobb EMC employee about the announcement, who asked not to be identified. “It was OK and they need to because some of (our staff) needs to go. That way, other people that are with this company have the opportunity to move up.”
