It is crazy hearing about RIFs when we have so many executives and most people have no idea what they even do. CEO has a meeting, then the SVP has a meeting, then the VP, then the Sr director, etc. All just say the same things and ask what did you think about what the ceo said. If they want to cut costs start with upper and middle management.

Should be more responsibilities and more people that roll up to you at the higher levels, not spread out thinly under several of each high level type of managers. And so now the mid to lower level leaders should suffer and be impacted?
