В последнее время зарубежные новости пестрят сообщениями о массовых сокращениях сотрудников [Бобков, Вередюк, 2014, 31, с. 7–16]. Российский рынок труда, по оценке большинства экспертов, также столкнется с проблемой массовых увольнений работников [Григорьев, Миронова, Мартынова, Толстых, 2014, 30]. РБК совместно с компанией ManpowerGroup провели опрос представителей 80 крупнейших предприятий разных отраслей экономики [13, http://rbcdaily.ru/economy/562949990119637]. По его результатам, в топливно-энергетическом комплексе, металлургии и химии доля компаний, которые намерены в 2014 г. сокращать персонал, составила 31,6%. Сбербанк заложил в своей новой стратегии на 2014–2018 гг. уменьшение численности персонала с 250 тыс. до 220 тыс. человек. Группа ВТБ в 2014 г. намерена на 15% сократить расходы на персонал в головном банке и инвесткомпании «ВТБ Капитал». Значительные сокращения могут коснуться управленцев. «РусГидро» предполагает сократить 15–20% менеджеров. В группе компаний «Интер РАО» под сокращение могут попасть 10–15% представителей менеджерского звена [14, http://ria.ru/economy/20140127/991609939.html].
