You can't "not do" getting a budget cut. They just give you less money. I'm also not sure how to just... not fire people. Sure, you can delay it a week or two.

You can't "not do" getting a budget cut. They just give you less money. I'm also not sure how to just... not fire people. Sure, you can delay it a week or two. Okay. Then what? Get fired for non-compliance? That seems about as effective of a tactic as quitting is.
