The methodology used to carry out the study, consisted of bibliographic research, direct observation and fieldwork. The results of the research showed that, in general, in the various professional groups there are strong indications of levels of demotivation, with the main reasons being pointed out that the process of reducing the number of employees is taking place without the participation of workers, the fact that workers they do not know what stage the process is in and, above all, they do not know what criteria will be used for the next phase of downsizing, since the policy currently consists of reform by mutual agreement.
