All I'm saying is that it's bad if you cut those people and use it to give your execs a golden parachute instead of more runway for the people left over.
If you're lucky, they merely poach the stuff you cannot defend anymore. In most situations, they come after the crown jewels of the business, accounts which create the lions share of the revenue and profits which funds the business.
And then you're screwed. Shut it down, pink slips for everyone...
So when it was "your turn", you're going to get tossed in the street with NOTHING to tide you over to your next gig.
Still feel like letting your family starve for the sake of "loyalty"?
I don’t have or want a family. And it’s not about loyalty to the company it’s about the other people working under me.
I have savings so I can afford to be unemployed, but still don’t understand your hypothetical.
