They're already gone." There's no point in managing perceptions or trying to explain the nuances of closing down a business. If you get out of there soon enough, you won't have to.

Last one ends up doing everyone's work, as well as dealing with fear and anxiety of the axe. There's no glory in being the last one cut...you're still cut, and worse off. We all know the sure signs of company decline. Facing the truth, in a gilded cage, is difficult, but necessary.
