These layoffs are being done in such a ridiculous manner, prior corporate leaders who have never run a business or have the ever been an operational leader are making cuts based on McKinsey team who is mostly 20-30 year olds benchmarking. Cuts are being made with little knowledge or care on how they will impact customers, employees or our processes and systems. This is going to be a disaster. The LEADERSHIP is full of short term renter mentalities vs owners at this point.
