There is nothing more frightening from an employee’s point of view than knowing that layoffs are coming. Recently, I had to stand by as I watched dozens of my colleagues being led to personnel to receive their severance notice and benefits. It was certainly frightening and depressing at the same time. Thankfully, many of these colleagues found other positions and I believe that my company is stronger today than prior to the layoffs. It may sound harsh to prepare oneself for layoffs, but I practice what I preach here.
