This article explores the impact of large-scale layoffs on the employees who remain. It looks at the emotional toll they experience, such as fear, grief, anxiety, and survivor guilt. These emotions can lead to disengagement, increased healthcare costs, and reduced productivity, ultimately affecting the organization's financial performance.
