Will there be layoffs in Ireland? When will they happen??

I am not optimistic at all... If there is someone who still believes in this company and that there can be some improvements here, I would like to hear their arguments.

Probably at this moment there are more people who are praying to be paid to leave, than those who would like to survive layoffs. Thoughts?

We all know that well-planned layoffs can help a company get back on track. However, I do not believe that these layoffs will solve any problems in the company at all. Moreover, I think there will be even more of them.
