    The benefits of being leaner include, having to pay less workers. = making more money.

    But what are the consequences of less workers?

      More stressed workers, which isn’t something they give 2 shits about. :/

        exactly. They would rather work individuals to extremes, then pay for more workers.

        When they laid off 3/4ths of my team it reduced my stress. I realized that since the company doesn’t give a shit about what we were working on, why should I?

        Let the chips fall where they may, I am now remotely working for a company and planning my own business.

        Also, I wish I had gotten laid off so I could get the severance.

      There is a tipping point where a company starts losing revenue because of having too little employees to support the needs. The main issue in the past few years is many over-hired.
