I've heard each of these from many people around the water cooler.

Hard working employees will be severed, those left will pick up the slack and suffer reduced bonuses. It is only fair that shareholders help shoulder the burden caused by the mismanagement of cash balances.
I'm tired of the excuses. Interest rates aren't high, they are just back to historical norms. To be surprised by this is embarrassing.
