> If you cut the Sr. Manager of XYZ and hire another one 120 days later...you probably didn't need to cut the one you did. If you make cuts based on a pessimistic projection and the future turns out to be much rosier than you thought, were you wrong? I don't think so. You just had limited knowledge. This is compounded by an unusually wide spread between pessimistic and optimistic projections during times like this. Will someone find a cure? Will enough ventilators be made? How soon will people be allowed to go back to work? How effective will self-isolation be? Today, no one knows the answer to these questions. We'll know much, much more in 4 months. It's just not reasonable to expect that decisions made today will seem perfect 120 days in the future.
