When winstar radio services laid off a third of its New York City staff, the surviving employees felt little relief. Not only had they lost cherished colleagues, but they were also struggling with added workparticularly that of the office manager, who was among those who got pink slips. Although the remaining workers at Winstar (since acquired and renamed Excelsior Radio Networks) resigned themselves to doing their own filing and photocopying, they overlooked one small but essential task. Says Christopher Stogdill, 32, an affiliate marketing manager: "We ran out of toilet paper." Welcome to the workplace of the jobless recovery, where keeping your position means that your In box swells, your pay and benefits shrink, and bathroom amenities don't magically appear. In an office haunted by the ghosts of laid-off employees, those workers who dodged the hatchet aren't necessarily the lucky ones. They must excel at their old jobs to avoid still looming staff cuts and must also juggle extra, unfamiliar duties.
