Job cuts refer to the reduction of workforce by an employer, which results in the termination of employees’ positions. This can occur for various reasons, including economic downturns, company restructuring, downsizing, or automation. Job cuts can lead to layoffs, where employees are let go temporarily or permanently, and may also involve voluntary departures such as buyouts or early retirement incentives. The process often aims to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency but can have significant impacts on employee morale, company reputation, and local economies. Job cuts are typically communicated through official notices and may be part of broader corporate strategies to respond to market conditions or financial challenges.
