The people left behind

In the -- entirely appropriate -- focus on people who are losing their jobs, one area that's being ignored are the people who aren't.

In many cases, companies are cutting people, but not production, leaving the people still employed to pick up the slack. Is that happening to you? Tell me about it, making it clear if you want your name to be withheld.

Somewhat tangential to this, but perhaps interesting: Unemployment claims crash state websites.
