Constant smaller layoffs

Kaiser has been having layoffs constantly for months now - they are just small enough to not draw any attention. Somebody mentioned this in another thread, and it now makes perfect sense. We keep hearing about layoffs taking place within the company all the time, yet there is no coverage outside.

This is also really bad for all of us. When there is a single layoff round with all the affected people, at least when it's done, we know it's done. Like this, we have to work with a constant threat of layoffs hanging over our heads. How is that good for our productivity or office morale?

I worked in KP IT in the Portland area nd was laid off this past Feb because they wanted to improve efficiency.
The kick in the pants was I had my year end eval on Thur, it was solid but not outstanding - they only give outstanding to big shots, and then came in the following Monday and was told at 9:00am I was being laid off at noon that day. Oh, and I wasn't to tell anyone about it, I was to go away quietly.

I was just laid off with a fellow coworker...under the guise that there "was no work, and what was left was being given to a centralized department". All this after my boss and I had literally had standing netting entitled "Professional Development " where we discussed the amount of workload I had and the process to move me up to the next level

The archaic Bloodletting of replacing American Workers with contractors.

We have no stability and all the secrets make it so much worse. KP talked about transparency and it has yet to be seen.
