  • layoffs would not be the bellwether for that.

    I guess we can at least agree, that even if a company doing lay offs isn’t necessarily going belly up, a company that is going belly up is probably doing some lay offs along the way.

    However going beyond the point we agree over… what if a lay off sets in motion a series of chain reactions:

    • reduced investor/shareholder confidence -> possibly stock/company-value tanking -> -> leading to issues with the lowered valuation and their debt, worse credit rating(?)
    • destroyed worker moral -> the best workers are more likely to leave, workers who remain having to shoulder their burden
    • less team members have to shoulder much more work (usually for the same pay)

    I am sure there are other factors and maybe some of those three above are not a factor at all…
