Will they ever learn that cuts don't work longterm?

The real shame is that although some useless waste of space people will be kicked out finally so will many useful contributors. They will get caught up in this too, they always are. Then some more of the best people will quit soon after. There will be a short term drop in staff cost. In the long term the loss of useful people will be bad for business. Customer service will drop off a cliff. Customers will leave.

This is what gets me the most, @OuPU99R-1ssf. These cuts will hurt the wrong people, and all for artificial quarterly bump in profits, which will be gone again as soon as consequences of losing this many people kick in. It's just infuriating.

Not all companies! There are several companies out there that choose to value their employees first. The key is finding one, staying there and not running around for higher salaries, higher bonuses or higher titles at the expense of job security.

ALL companies have been managed this way since 2008, but people are myopic, only know whats happening in their own little fishbowl. So, when you see so many companies managed for the short term with zero planning for the long term, you have two choices.

Assume all Execs are simply stupid, and dont even know what the average shipping clerk knows, or consider that they know something you don't.

Yeah, maybe they aren't as stupid as your average housefly, maybe there's a reason they have no long term plans for practically every decent size company in America.
