The pattern is familiar to anyone who has watched a layoff round move through a company. Someone gets the news in a glass-walled conference room, nods, shakes a hand, walks back to their desk, packs a box with the careful efficiency of a person folding laundry, and says goodbye to three colleagues in a voice that sounds almost cheerful. Then they make it to the parking lot. The car door closes. And only then does the body do what it has been holding back for ninety minutes.
