meh it doesn't work for me... I put in 5 years at a company and was Right Sized due to economic needs. They announced the very next day donating millions to help Japan.
Is nice to help other countries and all, and yes it became a tax write off. But geeze.
I, honestly, don't believe in right sizing, regardless of the situation. It's bad for a company because the highest earners who know what the heck they're doing are the first to go. Then you're left with ppl on a learning curve doing more work than before. (I was replaced with a college grade at half my salary LOL oh well, cookie crumbled, they lasted about 6 months before quitting due to "stress". Not sure if they replaced after that...)
The American concept of one person doing one job no longer exists, too. That saddens me.
I guess in that respect I'm glad I made that round of cuts. Independent Contracting may be wonky right now since jobs are so scarce (omg, I went to a part time open call interview for a desk receptionist, recently, and 40 ppl were there), but I'm not doing 5 jobs at once
Long ramble to say that I disagree with Right Sizing. <----my whole point
