I totally agree with everything you said - but I am disturbed to see at least one, maybe two Freepers who agree with the idiot author....and how miss the point of the piece. I also would like to know the OP’s motivations.....normally a poster will defend the piece they post, or acknowledge that they posted it as example of left wing idiocy. When the OP goes silent, it makes one wonder.....
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.
