Layoffs are down, but workers are receiving messages that their jobs are gone. The article highlights the jarring nature of this approach and suggests that it is a way for companies to avoid negative publicity associated with layoffs. The key insight is that while the number of layoffs may be decreasing, companies are still finding alternative ways to reduce their workforce.
