| Abstract: | Layoffs create a downward spiral that can boost financial results in the short-term but also create a need for multiple, successive layoffs to maintain those results. Like an anorexia of the organization, it begins depleting the business of its fat, then its muscle, and finally its brainpower. Layoffs emerge as a risky, painful and inhumane form of management that only in the worst cases can resuscitate a dying organization. |
