This is the moment that management cuts staff and pushes survivors to work harder than ever with no more than the threat of the axe. Realizing productivity gain

This is the moment that management cuts staff and pushes survivors to work harder than ever with no more than the threat of the axe. Realizing productivity gains from job insecurity is unethical, so it only gets used under the illusion that it is the only way for the employer to survive. The reality is that the employer could have operated like this all along but couldn't drop the axe without looking like a butcher until now. Getting laid off is sometimes better than surviving the shit show that is now to come. Quitting for new work, even better. Seize the moment, people. Do not be a victim. You can rebuild your careers. Do not stay with a butcher.
