The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

On Termination: What To Say?

Asked by bamapie in Miscellaneous, Politics, Philosophy & Religion

Consider this scenario:

You work at a fairly large company (> 1000 employees). A new "big wig" is hired, and a couple of years later he's suddenly released. Along the way, he's kicked off various initiatives, worked hard, probably made a few enemies, but has in general been doing a fine job according those who are his peers and his direct reports. All you know from the top-level are some vagaries like "couldn't see eye-to-eye with the senior team" and "the results weren't there" and "we're going in a different direction". The kinds of catch-phrases that belong on a Corporate Bingo game.

The company is shocked...and abuzz.

Your company decides that because of the wide-ranging influence of this individual, a general email announcement must be sent notifying everyone of his departure. You're tasked with crafting this email.

You know that you may only include the information that's appropriate and legally safe--so you naturally can't talk specifics as to why he was released.

But you also believe that the more you do say to the hundreds employees who are shocked at his sudden departure, the higher morale will be, and the less the rumor mill will churn.

What do you write in your announcement?
