Layoffs

The management tactics of constantly making your employees fear job loss or reprimand can only cause discourse among your employees. Many will treat these threats with the same regard they give to a speeding tailgater on the freeway. It will only lead to anger and resentment. It will not make the employees work harder or faster. But it may increase employees taking unnecessary sick leave, coming in late, and foster a decrease in their work production and dedication to their job duties.
