    Maybe. From a conversation last night:

    • most of the people this guy knew who took the slow burn firing were already planning to retire this year. Those have no effect on unemployment, but are just a really disruptive and noisy alternative to an early retirement package, or simply feeezing hires and waiting
    • one guy was warned he wasn’t working out so in his best interest to slow fire.
    • lots of recruiters hanging around - consulting companies are staffing up on the expectation of a lot of new business
