When was the last post here that had anything at all to do with layoffs?

The current work volume is nothing compared to what’s coming this summer. Sadly executive react and don’t plan ahead. Reacting is when it’s too late. Take a few months for new hires to make even the smaller impact. If there is a need for 20 more in a... — read more
