I work for a large Fortune 500 company (we're in the top 20)
We've had 4 rounds of layoffs (read: packages) in since 2002, I've been offered twice but didn't take, luckily there was enough that did mainly through early retirement. Now there arent many people left over 50...
Hiring freeze
All Travel has to have prior approval by Vice-President only
Leasing half of the building I work in to outside tenants
Outsourcing non-customer interaction processes to vendors outside the US
BYOS (Bring your own supplies) actually we get supplies but its cheap shit
Limited relocation - specialized jobs only again VP approval
Delayed raises for two years, and the one I got was small
Temporarily suspended 401-K matching
There are more I'm sure but thats all I can think of at the moment
