Newsweek’s Lay Off the Layoffs article points out that kneejerk downsizing is actually bad for business. Written by Jeffrey Pfeffer of Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, the piece cites numerous studies rather than rely on journalistic anecdotes.

Echoing last year’s prophetic comments of the Wells Fargo chairman on talent, the Southwest Airlines HR leader quoted in the article said:

Managing talent in tough times requires understanding the talent management correlations. The new perspective is focused on cutting costs while taking a strategic talent perspective and being mindful of the talent and brand connection.
