I remember ‘82, when 16 of 18 mud engineers from the Corpus Christi office were laid off… along with the same ratio of workers all over the oil-producing states. Hundreds of thousands of people were out of work, and our jobs didn’t come back.
The same thing happened in “Dilbert”. Layoffs were avoided because the smart employees simply found better jobs. This left the remaining employees with double the workload.

Survivor’s guilt. I remember in 2008 when the staff in my office was cut by 1/3 but I wasn’t laid off.

Shouldn’t the sword be an axe, since that’s what they’re gonna get?
