Have you experienced this or are you imagining this could happen? My company closed a production line and people were told 12 months before. The whole process was very transparent . People took it really well and things kept moving along.
- zdragnar 7y ago12 months is a long time to line up another job. Announcing the same day, or even the same week, will cause a good deal of disruption. I've survived layoffs of a much smaller scale, and can confirm that productivity goes way down once word gets out until the process is completed.

I think people are objecting to announcing "Layoffs are coming" and then having to wait some period of time to find out who is included. The timing is also important, what's being discussed isn't "in 12 months" but immediately given the quick turn in cash flow for many of these companies due to a big external event.
