Four people I know and have worked with in different spheres have been made redundant just before Christmas. When companies want to travel light they dump human ballast. But the absence of each of these people will be felt in unique ways, just as their presence was. 'We'll have to let you go' is the usual line from the line manager. Those who remain have to let go, too; sometimes that's harder work.
