LONDON (Reuters) - Over a third of leading businessmen expect their companies to suffer redundancies due to the economic downturn, according to a survey released on Monday.

Commissioned by the Leaders in London International Leadership Summit 2008, the poll of over 1,000 business leaders found 36 percent of them believe jobs will be lost, with 10 percent suggesting senior management could be made redundant
Don't suppose they will be taking any pay cuts though?

Far from it. Senior managers normally get pay rises and bonuses for reducing overheads in this way.
