Fear is an effective management method to get folks to work harder to avoid being laid off. You will take on the work of others. This is all planned to whip the employees into submission. The shareholders demand a return of their investment.
Work hard and long hours. Work while on vacation. Praise your senior leaders and maybe they will keep you. Play the game while you look for another job. And only look for non public companies.
