Downsizing is a way of efficiency by removing unnecessary employees to avoid unnecessary costs. Although downsizing is effective in saving costs, there are some negative effects of downsizing, namely its effect on emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction of the remaining employees in the company or can be said to be layoff survivors.
