The Humorous Side of Layoffs
by Miki SaxonMichael Smith, CEO of TeraTech and a past client of mine, sent a link to a Medium post about recognizing the signs that a layoff is coming.
Here are three examples.
- Fresh CEO blood.
- Loss of eye contact.
- Earlier rounds of layoffs.
I would add
- Lots of smoke and dancing by management, instead of answers.
Obviously, layoffs aren’t funny.
However, management’s belief that no one will notice the signs is funny.
Why?
Because you can’t brag about hiring smart people and then assume they will miss the telltale signs around them that something is wrong.
