It more than obvious that our economy is in trouble and hopefully will we see an upswing in the second half of the year.  Unfortunately, many of you have had to be the bearer of bad news and let employees go, or you have been let go yourself.  This weakened economy is making it tough on everyone and while researching articles and content on how to deal with a layoff I read a good post on bnet.com here.

What advice can you give other managers that might have to let go of employees, or how have you or others dealt with the news.  We are all in this together so any feedback/feedback would be appreciated.
