Managers' Health Affected By Layoffs

Depressing Fact

The main manager at my job came out of a meeting earlier this year feeling distraught because the bank wants to cut all the consultants. He managed to make a deal, cutting our hours to 32, and of course, laying off less than five employees. Not many manager can do what he did. Let alone care about consultants.

THANK GO FOR PEOPLE LIKE HIM.

Hm.

In many companies, the managers who are delivering the message had nothing to do with the decision.

Sometimes, too, when whole groups are shut down, the manager has to tell her employees, while she is herself being laid off too.

And who will hire you, with that attitude?

No picnic?

Poor, poor managers. Well, if they can't sleep, then they need to try SLEEPING IN THEIR CARS like we have to do these days with no jobs and layoff after layoff!!!

Stupid articles like this amaze me. Everybody has it so tough.

I'll take their lousy stressy job and fire everybody, but at least I'll have a paycheck so I can eat.
