Execs like Bartlett should lose their jobs. Anytime there are layoffs or using the pc-word, downsizing, it is a failure of management to grow the company. One could trace it to a series of bad decisions by the upper echelon, yet they remaining to make more bad decisions. Poor, dedicated people are scapegoats for poor decisions. It's just a shame. Hopefully, the affected people can move on with their lives without too much damage inflicted.
