Smile, You've Been Laid Off

The Washington Post’s “Leadership House Call” fielded a question today from an HR manager who was demoralized after eight months of layoffs. HR gets demoralized, everyone else at the company gets demoralized, and it just goes downhill from there.

Wait, what?

Okay, fine: as positive as possible.
