The Financial Times is reporting that accounting powerhouse PwC is conducting "silent lay-offs" in the U.K. -- they're asking people who take a voluntary severance package to keep the reason for their departure hush-hush.

How can you hide layoffs??

predictably, an inc. magazine corporate buttsucker writes that voluntary layoffs are good in general, actually, and are a solution to pwc's "presumed" financial struggles, while citing no evidence of either. "the problem was how PwC sold the layoff to impacted employees!" lazy and stupid.
former pwc exec John Plansky wrote in his garbage book that it doesn't ever matter who leaves an organization. there will be plenty of su-kers, called "people leaders" by Plansky, to work themselves harder at no additional compensation, to make up for lost coverage. that's what they really think and why they conduct layoffs haphazardly. This company can't afford to take its own advice anymore
