The effect of mismanaged LAYOFFs on the remaining workforce and the effects, lack of management preparation, the human condition, and lack of mitigation strategies. We think that the problem with this article is that not enough managers or HR personal, know how to let a person go from their employment effectively. They sometimes don't realize the impact that it has on the other employees morals. Also, that sometimes companies don't take a closer look to make sure downsizing will be the answer to cutting costs like they think that it will. Every HR or manager should be let go in their lifetime so that they know what it feels like. I believe that this statement holds tremendous merit because the best lessons in life are learned through personal experience. In order to adequately communicate life changing messages of sorts, it should be done by a seasoned manager. I will be very surprised if any company has a potential layoff learning path that will coach and train the management staff for these kinds of things. It is imperative to be sensitive to the individual being laid off as this will impact their livelihood significantly. I do agree that other options much is explored such as relocating or wage cuts before making the decision to lay off people.…

Companies need to make sure they are following the law when it comes to laying off staff, including paying out severance as required by each province based on an employee's years of service. (2013)…

Rather than accept my failure after being laid off, I decided to continue with my education and keep positive while looking for a new job. Layoff is a termination of employment of an employee or a group of employees for business reasons, such as the decision that certain positions are no longer necessary. In most cases a company will buy other companies and they will no longer need double people for a position. So here's the scoop: I got let go.

I have seen many layoffs in my day, especially being as, I work in HR. However, a lot of employee assume that I may know firsthand of layoffs just because I do in fact work in the HR department. I have to remind them that it’s all about your position within the company. I am not on a supervisor’s level and there are a few managers I report to, no one reports directly to me so I am also in the same position as he or she, clueless. There was a comment made with the group discussion that even upper level management were at times left out of loop. This proofs that when a member of management advices that they had no clue, it’s okay to believe him or her because that may as well be true. A lot of employees tend to build great relationships with their managers and when they are hit with a dismissal due to a layover, he or she feels betrayed and losses trust and confidence in the management team. I do believe that not all news is shared to everyone; I see it happen all the time, it’s unfortunate especially when you live in a no at fault, at-will state.…
