IF corporations are smart they will start by laying off 75% of the HR department.
These people are the woke part of every company(including the one I am employed at). Their function does absolutely nothing quantitatively to increase the bottom line.

In recessions you need MORE sales people.
You need LESS support staff.

Most CEOs/upper management start in sales. They know how the company makes money.
