In some countries, companies directly tell their employees that they are being laid off due to adverse economic conditions and lack of profitability . The employee is informed about the layoff and expected to clear his or her desk and leave the office immediately.

In other countries, due to political factors and social conditioning, layoffs are far more difficult to implement, though they may be necessary for the survival of the organisation. Smaller organisation may lay off their workers without much fanafare, but layoffs in larger organisations are noticed by the media. So the employees are forced to submit a resignation letter.
