Well, it seems to me that you have a number of key issues that need to be
addressed. First, where are you located (obviously not the US; Canada?).
Second, given that the software industry is still quite "fluid", you need to
find a way to "stabilize" your employees reactions to this situation. While I
have a number of ideas that might prove interesting, I don't know enough about
your companies situation to suggest anything in particular. As Sherlock Holmes
noted, "It is a capital mistake to theorise in advance of the facts." If you
are interested in any particular areas, I would be happy to try and come up
with some suggestions.
