            Tribal Knowledge; this is a term that I have been hearing a lot lately. It means the knowledge within a group of people that is not recorded and only known within that group. With the economy the way it has been many companies are losing bits and pieces of their tribal knowledge and aren't realizing the impact it holds on their company until it's too late.

            With this is mind, what kind of impact would a few key employee layoffs have on your company?

I am currently unemployed myself right now but I think that this happens quite alot. There are alot of things that people do day and day out with there jobs that aren't necessarily requirements of the job so then that means they are not passes on. And I think in most cases when a layoff happens in this current economy there isn't much cross-training that goes on.
