Thread: No Layoff Policies

Even in recession, some employers stick to no-layoff policy - Dec. 11, 2008

I found that pretty interesting. I was not aware some companies had such policies.

wow that is very interesting and impressive with Eerie insurance. No layoffs since 1925

Yeah, just goes to prove there are other ways to cut costs than to ruin peoples livelihood. Ive been laid off before and I didnt like it much but I was okay with it as they got to do what they got to do and I eventually was brought back, but it always concerned me that most companies approach to things to cut the bottom line was to cut the people and that just never seemed like a smart thing to do.

A good friend of mine works for Safelite Autoglass and was told that "Voluntary layoffs" would be expected for employees to take,or get just plain out get laid off at random.Voluntary being the better of the two as they will continue paying benefits for X amount of time plus obvious unemployment.How fair is that?

I think that is far from fair. Its like someone asking you which of your children do you love most. They know virtually no one will take that and so they save a bunch of money in the process.
