When Layoffs Become Routine
from Vedeni Energy’s Deep Dive · host Vedeni Energy, LLC
Over the past week, one leadership issue kept surfacing across workplace research, management reporting, and current commentary: layoffs are no longer treated as rare emergencies. In more firms, they are becoming a standard management tool. That shift changes the job for every leader, but it lands hardest on middle managers. They are expected to explain decisions they did not make, steady teams they may no longer fully control, and keep work moving while employees wonder whether another cut is coming.
