As part of their job responsibilities, engineers often have to make decisions related to the financial well-being of their organization. This includes the process of downsizing: reducing their staff and subcontracting the work/jobs. Some of the reasons for downsizing include:

1. To reduce the cost of production/operations by shifting work to lower-cost wage regions (domestically or internationally).
2. To reduce the cost of production/operations by introducing advanced technologies (e.g. automation) that require fewer employees
3. To gain market share in other regions by setting up plans in new targeted markets. Some of these markets may require using local labor by creating "local" employment opportunities.
4. To lower production cost by taking advantage of incentives offered by another locale (i.e. another city, state, or country)

Discuss the ethical issues and responsibilities associated with downsizing and how they related to the engineering code of ethics.
