Abstract
Reducing the number of employees during the pandemic is the reaction manufacturers mostly take to survive in doing business due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze the effect of layoffs on the workload of the affected manufacturers. The data is taken from one of the fish processing companies in the Makassar Industrial Estate, which has reduced its workforce due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the results of the study showed that from the three divisions in the company, namely the admission, retouching, and packing divisions, the admission division in the fillet section obtained a different score. This study concludes whether the decision to lay off during the pandemic is right or not so that it can be a reference for companies experiencing economic impacts in terms of production efficiency and effectiveness.
