3. Yep...the "You're Going To Be Asked To Do More With Less" item...
...A.K.A. "productivity gains," A.K.A. "We just fired the guy in the cubicle next to you, now you'll be doing your job and his" has been prevalent at least since the dot com bubble "burst."

I remember the Cisco layoffs of 2001. It was a two-step process...shitcan an employee, assign his/her responsibilities to one of the drones you've decided to spare for the moment.
