If profit goes down somewhat, you don't layoff people. If do, well, as a manager / company you do your job poorly. If profits turn down a lot, or funding runs out, you have to layoff people. If you don't, or do it to late or in not sufficient or too high numbers, as a manager / company you do your job poorly. Saidly there seem to be companies that do their jobs badly. Currently I have the feeling that the second option applies in my case...
