Suppose that once your major CRM system implementation is completed and rolled out in a year, your company plans to outsource maintenance and support. There's a better than 60 percent chance that you'll lay off two-thirds of the IT workers who were involved. Is it "unethical" for you not to fully disclose the details of their possible future (or lack thereof) as they work feverishly to make deadline? I don't think so; do you?

I've been in this situation, and in fact it's much more likely that your employees will work out the implications halfway through the implementation project and the results will be far more disruptive.

Staff are not mushrooms, and if you expect loyalty anbd trust, you have to treat people with respect.

In Europe, you'd be legally bound to tell your employees of your intentions. No wonder we're so uncompetitive :)
