Wonder when the company realizes labor is not purely commoditized and can be scaled at will for short term gains. There will be long term loss of talent and likely other problems, we work in an industry where you can start cutting corners and it will add up. We had to lay off people this year not because they weren't performing, we just had to make a number of headcount cuts. Rank people without forced headcount reductions every single year, some years you may need to but other years you will be understaffed. Can only lead a horse to water.
