		<description>A very helpful article for employers or bosses who are in this situation rightnow.  

However, I have to disagree with Jeff on this point, "Employees who are barely noticed are usually barely noticed when you let them go." 

I would say that we have to open our eye wider at this point and spot the talent.  There are talented employees who had been great support to their superior all this time but somehow always stay unnoticed or had been a victim to their superior who made very sure that these talented subordinates stay unnoticed or not spotted.(I hope you get what I mean).</description>

		<description>Dear Jeff:

It is sad to know that in a company as good as yours, there has been lay offs too. If it happens with your company, what else will happen with the rest of us ?.

Thank you for letting us know. Hopefully people will use their creativity and talents to create new bussiness and new jobs.

We will have to set new priorities in life, like being happy in the moment and appreciate what we have already.

Best regards.  Nieves</description>
