A long-term study released this week shows that business executives who decide to make layoffs and do the actual firings suffer from stress, loss of sleep, and even health problems. In a related story, good!
Some high level executives even develop a sharp loss of appetite and can barely have their personal assistant feed them bon-bons in the hot tub.
The study says the feeling of laying people off is psychologically similar to the end of a romance or falling out of love in a relationship. To that end, many employers hire temps and independent contractors, to feel they’re getting a little something on the side.
It’s like a company mistress, referred to by those losing their jobs as the Corporate Bitch.
