There will always be at least a slow bleed off via layoffs. As long as the plan is to get workers to compete against each other to adequately donate free overtime, there will need to be sacrificial lambs to serve as a warning. We can also fold in layoffs among the older, higher paid people as needed to make the numbers. The important thing to remember is that 110% isn't good enough if your workmates are giving 120%
