The cuttings will continue to happen (there has been a lot of layoffs) on the operational team, with downsizing and cost-cutting. Fewer travels, less expensive hotels, and luxurious meals. Also, the 'social justice' projects are already halted.
When did that happen? Was it done to make the company more attractive to buyers, to protect profits, or for idealistic reasons?
I didn't have all of my facts straight when I posted this and should have thought more carefully before I did so.
Apologies to anyone I might have offended by posting this. If you'd like to talk more directly about this, feel free to email me at any time. My email address is in my profile.
Doesn't the customer typically pay all these costs for a consultant anyway?
