BUZZWORDS: "Survivor Syndrome"

Survivor Syndrome is the term used to describe the effects of redundancy upon those left behind in an organization. A survey by Right Associates found that only 31 percent of survivors agreed that employees' trust in an organization was intact after downsizing (Source: HR Focus). As a result, survivors often exhibit less enthusiasm and dedication to the firm. They leave "on time" and spend what used to be "unofficial overtime" with their family.

Even better: Of course, they don't address the how-to-fix aspect, because the blurb was provided by an employee-productivity consulting firm, McKinney Rogers.
