If true, talk about incompetent management. If you need to slim down, ideally you'd want to identify the people and groups that can be laid off with least overall damage and do it all in one shot. "Layoffs by RTO" is a great way to have your best, most-employable staff trickle out over a period of months - constantly reminding anyone left behind that they're stuck working under a bunch of ding-a-lings so they might decide to leave next.

- jmoak3 3y agoThe worse a company is doing the more they have to pay the CEO to stick around. It’s a little strange but that’s where we end up. For the benefit of all companies, we need to find a way to produce more people qualified to lead large organizations so that they’re easier to swap. I support policies that make it easier for people to make organizations and remove roadblocks to achieve this. This will make existing companies leaner and produce more stock of qualified leaders.
