Whenever there are talks about cuts, it's always the exceptional performer, the ones who delivered at critical times are on the chopping block instead of the ones coasting breezily.
The reason???
Majority of slackers (you know who you are) won't be affected by the change, but there could be a few who will think this as a wake up call and step up.
And being a top performer, the corporate would think you'll land on your feet somewhere else even after being cut off.
That's a classic tale tell strategy, after 16 years at fidelity and close to retiring, that's one hard but honest truth
