Shorter Peter Cappelli interview: In the long run, they don’t help companies. They help the stock price because “Wall Street analysts,” rulers of all things financial, think that layoffs help companies.

A description of the interview from the Radio Times website:

We talk with Wharton professor PETER CAPPELLI about the effectiveness of such strategies vs. laying off workers.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
