Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Reduction of employees may take four forms: (1 ) lay off--a dismissal from the workforce until employees might be needed again; (2 ) attrition--a normal, standard reduction in the workforce that occurs when employees leave; (3 ) early retirement--employees close to retirement may be encouraged to take early retirement with full benefits; and (4 ) fired--dismissing employees for job performance or some other negative situation.
