There’s a number of reasons why I think that won’t happen here, but you’re right generally. My disposition leans cynical so it took me a week of badgering leadership to be confident this wasn’t the case. I don’t want to dive into the details of our particular case, but I agree with the thrust of what you’re saying: cuts almost never inspire confidence. If you’re in a leadership position and you’re making a preventative cut and you’re super confident that you won’t need to make more going forward, you need to overcommunicate this, otherwise the anxiety you induce will reduce productivity and undo the cut.
