Do companies and other organisations not realise that by jumping on
the redundancies bandwagon (aka burying bad news) they make the
recession all the worse?

Put my first name before the at to reply.


The other week someone plummy was proposing pay cuts on the news.
It's the "workers" who stop spending when announcements like that are
made, and stopping spending means ... as you say, recession.

Trouble is that asking an economist why there's no money is like
asking an electrician why there's no coal. This is really a
pyschological and social phenomenon.
