Two departments he wants to eliminate. Two step process: Merge, then eliminate.

Why not a one step process: eliminate?

This is how some companies will handle problem employees.

Move them to another department at an off-site location.

Then change their hours to rotating swing shifts.

Have them make photocopies of all the archived paper files in the company. Put a deadline on completing the job.

Make sure the photocopier is on its last legs.

Then out the door they'll go, usually on their own.

Now! Now! don't tell those who will lose their jobs via the merge and then later eliminate everyone as the department is eliminated.

Two departments he wants to eliminate. Two step process: Merge, then eliminate.
