Following the recent restructuring program in the company, the top management staff has circulated memos to every department of the company explaining that quite a number of staff will be laid off in the near future. This essay serves as an explanation as to why the management should retain me in my job. Firstly as the head of the sales department, I have been the best overall manager in performance in last season’s targets of the company. My experience and skills to handle matters in this department are crucial to the growth of the company. Secondly, the large base of clients that I have established during my time in this company is also very important since this company depends largely on the clients to get its revenue. If I am laid off then it means that the confidence that my clients had put in me will slowly fade off and this will be to the disadvantage of the company. Thirdly, as the driving machine in the company’s operations, there are technical issues that I have mastered during my period of working with this company. These issues are beyond the classwork since they need someone to be in the field in order to experience them. It means then that if I am laid off then the department will take another longer period to be in the level where I had brought it. Fourthly, there are unfinished business transactions that I had with the clients of the company. It means that if I am laid off then the person who will take my position will either take long to know where to start or will end up losing some of the customers of the company. The reason is that the customers and the sales manager will have to take another period of time to learn from one another. Fifthly, for the sake of the well-being of the customers and the company I have known the physical locations of the customer’s business premises. If I am laid off then it means that the next sales manager will have to take a long time to establish these physical locations. I also have a personal interest in the company which is another reason I should not be sacked. I am the sole breadwinner in a family of six and losing my job will mean that my three brothers will not go to school anymore since I am responsible for paying their school fees. My dad who is diabetic requires medical checkups regularly and I am responsible for his hospital bills. I, therefore, request the management of Elliots Company to retain me as their employee and I promise to work heartlessly because I am very ambitious and want to meet my personal goals as well as those of the company. I also would like to develop my career in Elliots Company as I have always felt that it is the right place where I can exercise my professionalism and achieve my life goals and dreams of becoming a successful person. I strongly believe that in Elliots Company I have the greatest chance to give back to the community as I have always wished. Knowing that society is the most important factor to the success of any company for the labor they provide to the company and the moral support they give to the company employees I have already established a good rapport with them. This good rapport will transform into the company’s success.I have always felt comfortable working in the company and this motivates me to work tirelessly as I
