When a company’s share value declines, management may come under pressure from investors and the board to demonstrate rapid improvements in business performance. In some cases, this can result in employees being expected to complete new projects under extremely tight deadlines, including excessive late-night and weekend work. Once the work is completed and the company’s performance or share value has recovered, the company may then begin reducing its workforce to lower operating costs. In this case, out of approximately 25 employees in Karachi, around 8 employees were laid off shortly after the work was completed.
