Its always the lowest in heirarchy who get beaten. Never does Layoff affect non-performing Leads and Managers. Ppl who have no support often get laid off in name of poor performance. Most of it is personal bias :( Hope things improve

The Idea of Work-sharing This the new mantra in the organizations in some parts of Europe and Japan where they are not laying of employees due to recession, rather than there is salary cut and the work is shared between two or three people what was previously one person's job. The idea is that employees are required to share the pain of coping with hard times while everyone gets to keep their jobs even if they're paid less. Worksharing is the latest buzzword in Japan Inc. Proponents say it's a good way to avoid American style layoffs in a society that has long fostered lifetime employment. Companies like Toyota Motor Corp, Mazda Motor Corp, Toshiba Corp. and ...

Hi Friends, Last month I had a meeting with one of my old friends, who is now VP–HR in a fairly large IT setup. He informed me that he is planning to lay off a couple of hundred people in his company, in a phased manner. What surprised me was that he mentioned that out of them around 80% are ‘difficult employees’. I wondered aloud what was his definition of a ‘difficult employee’. What he told me was interesting and forms the basis of this post. “In every department/organization there are few people who are arrogant, demeaning (to others), insubordinate, not trustworthy, (always) cribbing and unproductive. And these employees are a huge drain for an organization in terms of wasted time, reduced productivity, inefficiency, and ultimately resulting in customer loss.” I again asked him as to why did the team, then not take precautions while hiring? He said these are traits and sometimes it is difficult to observe them during an interview. You get to know about them only from...
