It depends on your definition of "safe." I've worked with numerous people
who were safe, friendly, dependable employees, who turned into angry,
vindictive ex-employees -- not because of the layoffs, but because they
were being treated as criminals in the process. I think some companies
*create* the very risk of sabotage and theft they're worried about with
their "precautions."
Bottom line for me: if you treat people well in all aspects of your
business, including layoffs, people will respond in kind. Treat them like
criminals, and you'll eventually get criminal behavior.
