Did not even read the piece. I kinda figured the slant given the times but the premise remains... layoffs are the poor tool of poor management. I’ve seen it far too many times. Easiest tool on the shelf for panic and self-preservation by people who are managers in name only.
As stated, given the times, I expected the premise that it is business’ responsibility to employ people... it is not. It is business’ job to make money and it is management’s job to sustain the business by managing valuable resources until they are of no further value.
Your comments prove you’ve never been an entrepreneur and don’t even understand the premise. You’ve never been in management either, and like most who have not, think it’s easy. And you haven’t mentioned a single word about how government bureaucrats make running a business impossible. You really belong on DU or Huffpo......or CNN.....
