hr-and-ai
// Bad change communication pattern:
"We are excited to announce an organizational evolution that will create new opportunities for growth..."
// What this actually signals to employees:
// 1. Something is being hidden behind the positive framing
// 2. Leadership doesn't trust us with the real information
// 3. The losses we see coming will not be acknowledged
// Trust-preserving pattern:
// - Name the change directly
// - Separate what is confirmed from what is still being decided
// - "We don't know yet" is more trustworthy than vague reassurance
// - Acknowledge that this is difficult for affected employees
// - Provide specific date when next update will come
